EBF what milk next

From 1 year old babies can have whole cow's milk. So I guess you could start now although if you want to buy formula won't make a huge difference. If in doubt ask your health visitor x

Just a little addition here sorry I can't help myself. Breastfeed as long as YOU and your baby want x

thank you. He has never slept through and my husband said its because I don't produce enough milk. But you are right it's me who wakes up to feed him. Never expressed so he should count himself lucky he hasn't had to do a night feed 🤣 x

My Little boy is BF & he has never slept through either. I have given him formula if I’ve had to leave him with my partner etc I’ve bought the aptamil follow on and give it to him in a straw cup ( he won’t Take a bottle ) but to be honest he just spits it out 🙈

I don’t know if it will help but we were in the same position feeding 5-6 times a night, we have just done the Ferber method and he’s sleeping 7-6 now with no feeds. Also, feed until you want! It’s not them feeding so what does it matter🙄🙄

Omg what's wrong with your partner? Those comments would kill me. Your baby is needing your comfort that's all. And of course probably you don't produce enough to feed him for 12 hours straight The baby will need some more in between and that's absolutely normal! Sorry tell him to inform himself x

I don’t like those kind of comments. It would make me really mad and determined to BF even longer x

well I did want to go to 18months but he said I will be more tired when I go back to work and won't want to wake up for night feeds. 🙃

1-bf for as long as you want to!! Fed baby is a happy baby💕
2-i bf for 6m and stopped for personal reasons so he is now on formula and my baby still wakes throughout the night for comfort so i dont think your partner is correct about him being ‘reliant on it’. Babies just need comfort sometimes and if thats from bf then thats what they need
3-i plan to move mine on to blue milk when he is ready!! They can have blue milk from a year i think but they do the stage 3 formula for older babies if they need it

Don’t listen to your parter and the mother in law. You know whats best for your baby xx (hope this helped)

If your baby is gaining weight and you’ve no other issues you will be producing enough for your baby. This was always a worry for me but almost a year on and my girl has always gained weight. Your body is amazing and will produce as little or as much milk your baby needs.

I always planned to stop after a year but my babe has never slept through either. We will be starting sleep training soon though but I will continue to BF for another few months while we wean her off. I plan to give her blue top straight away rather than formula. Your partner has outdated unhelpful views and needs to be educated unfortunately xx
