Teats sizes

Hey everyone. My baby is 2 weeks old and we currently use size 1 teats with the tomee tipee anti colic bottles. I've noticed the teat sinking sometimes & baby girl is guzzling her milk and sucking like hell, then will fall asleep mid feed. She 100% has trapped wind and potentially colic so could she be taking in too much air?

Shall I move her up to a faster flowing teat? Any advice? Thanks in advance ☺️

We started on those tests but my boy was drinking too fast and we noticed the milk was just leaking out without him sucking so loads went all over his mouth etc….we swopped to the MAM bottles and a size 0 test for a slower flow that requires him to suckle and that’s slowed him down, he has less air when feeding, less spit up/vomit and over all a better experience xxx

Exactly the same story as Jessica. We started with Tomee Tipee bottles but switched quickly to MAM 0 teats and it has been so much better since then! My LG is combi fed so needed a slow flow teat because her sucking is wild haha

My little boy was like this, we switched to mam bottle which seem better & o moved him up to test number 2 which he seemed better on for a few days and then started spitting so we went back to 1’s and he’s ok on these again!

My little one is on size 2 on mam, but we tried a tommie tippie anti colic size 1 yesterday and no wonder they don't get wind, they can't bloody get any out 😂 my little one suffered bad with wind around the same age, its very hard but does get easier xx

I was on tommee tipee bottles but changed to Dr Browns Anti Colic bottles and my little one is so much better. Changed because I couldn't stand the teat constantly sucking in on itself Was driving me mad. Less wastage and no sickness either since changing over. Their expensive bottles but we'll worth it

what's that xxx

Sitting baby more upright, keeping bottle horizontal so not fully filling the teat and gently lifting teat up every few minutes so they get a break and aren’t guzzling the whole thing at once. Midwife said it’s supposed to mean they feed at a much slower pace and therefore are likely not to get as much wind etc x

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
