Dropping from 3 to 2 bottle of formula?

Should I be dropping to just 2 bottles of formula a day at this stage or sticking with 3? My LG has 210ml 3 times a day, along with her 3 meals a day. I’ve been hearing from friends I should be dropping the middle bottle of the day? Ia this right? Has anyone dropped to just 2 bottles of formula a day? Thank-you

My little boy has 3 and from next week (he is one on Tuesday) I'll be cutting his middle bottle 😊x

Hey, personally we are on 2 bottles a day since she was 11mo. Will go to just bedtime bottle when she’s 1 and then will drop that a month or two into nursery.

If your little one is pretty happy eating solids then feel free to try and drop one if you want to? For us it meant she ate more solids when we dropped to 2.

Mainly though I’d say that try not to listen to people telling you what you “should” do 😄 if you are all happy continuing with 3 for now then don’t feel pressured to drop one! NHS recommendations will say to cut them out from now/1st birthday but you’re the parent you get to decide what’s best 😁

My little one is 11 months on Tuesday and has been on 2 x 210ml for a few weeks now. He’s been absolutely fine with it and doesn’t seem to be missing the daytime bottle! I make sure to put multivitamin drops in his evening bottle now he’s below 500ml x

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!
