Kendamil too rich?

Has anyone else found their baby can’t tolerate the kendamil powder formula?

Baby is exclusively breastfed other than a combi bottle before bed. Previously he was fine with 50/50 ready made kendamil and expressed milk. I was hoping to move to a full bottle of formula in the evening as I’m tired of pumping but the first night trying 80/20 with powdered formula and breastmilk and baby has just been sick in his cot.

Anyone else found that baby can tolerate ready made but not powdered kendamil? Not ideal when ready made bottles are so expensive 😂

Any alternative formulas that have suited mostly breastfed babes?

Thanks!

There's a "Kendamum" support page on Facebook which is great! There's been a few who write about RTF V powder... might be worth having a look, see if you can get some answers/ tips etc x

that is really helpful, thank you! ☺️ It’s so difficult to know if it’s definitely that or just a totally random thing but good to hear others have reported it too

amazing, thank you!

We don’t have quite the same issue but our girl has to have at least 2 bottles RTF a day and the other 3 powder otherwise she can’t poo! She was on just RTF until she was 6 months and now we have to alternate the bottles. So although it’s not being sick her tummy doesn’t tolerate the powder as well as RTF!

ah that’s interesting, clearly I’m not imagining the difference between powder and RTF then! 😂 thanks

Kendamil didn't suit our little one at all either, he had horrible smelly sick on it. We switched to Hipp Organic and he's like a different baby. It's a gentle formula with a probiotic to help them digest the milk. Hope you get your LO sorted! X

it’s fascinating how different they all are! We tried hipp and it made our girls reflux so much worse and the smell of fishy vomit was awful! Particularly as I’m vegetarian!

I’ve heard good things about Hipp Organic too! Thank you for the tip ☺️

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
