Introducing a new formula

Looking for advice on how best to change my LG from Cow &Gate first infant milk to kendamil first infant milk…

Do I change the milk straight away and just discontinue the cow & gate or do I need to introduce her to it by replacing a bottle at a time?

I did this on Wednesday with the same milk and just did a straight swap to kendamil and stopped the cow and gate all together

We switched straight from mamia to aptamil hungry baby milk as our LB was eating loads then back to mamia as it didn’t make a difference to the amount he was eating and mamia is cheaper

We didn’t have any issues with the switch but I think it depends on baby x

did you find this easy? Or did your little one struggle with the swap .. I’m worried she will be more sicky if I do a straight swap x

we did find it easy and he had no issues with eating
And neither when we swapped back to the original formula x

he’s been fine, actually drinks it a bit better - the only thing I’ve found is it needs mixing a bit better than cow and gate

we did introduce a bottle of the new formula but advice online is to replace feeds over a 7 day period until they are all the new formula but I just feel this is a lengthy process and surely would upset baby’s stomach more.. we tried over the past 2 days and she hasn’t done very well with the change so I wanted to know if I was best to just change her over instead of this mixing of them..

I think tomorrow I will start a fresh and just feed her only kendamil and see how she gets on ☺️ thank you!

I did find this when I mixed up the first bottle, the powder itself is more grainy than the cow & gate but the kendamil seemed so much creamier and she seemed to enjoy it, 🤞 when I try tomorrow with a complete swap, I hope she takes to it well as I feel it would be so much better for her ☺️ x

yeah I found that too, my little boy has been much more settled, farting and pooing way more on kendamil so hopefully all goes well for you!!

We have been changing milks when we need to and our baby doesn't seem to bother... What we do is we save a little bit of the previous bottle just to be on the safe side in case we need to rush back to the previous one, but so far we haven't

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
