Making Nutramigen

Little one has just started this, I have used the prep machine to make it but now reading it’s only cool boiled water to make it😅 is this the only way or have others been told that they can use the prep machine??

Let all water into bottle from prep machine first then add the powder that’s how we do ours with the prep machine

We were making it wrong for weeks before we realised 😂

glad it isn’t just me! Does your baby feed more often on it? I feel like sometimes he’s hungry quicker

She did at first. But we have carobel to put into it and then went back to normal feeding times. X

ahh I’ve bought carobel also but have been only using one scoop. Gona up it to 3 I think for the thick consistency as the 1 scoop does nothing 😅 x

We still only use one heaped spoon for 6oz bottles. X

ah really? That’s what he’s on. Maybe I’ll stick with the 1 scoop for a few days and see. His reflux is quite bad x

All I do is boil the water put it in the bottles leave on the side and add powder as needed so it's room temp

Avatar

I’ve been doing that at times because my prep machine won’t let me make a bottle in this heat 😅

honestly it's been my easiest way as the tin says it has to be made with room temp water and not warmed as it damages the formula so it's the laziest way I could find so any middle of the night feeds (which he hasn't needed since a week on it) were easy and I didn't have to get out of bed

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.

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.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

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.
