Breastfeeding, Bottle feeding, Weaning Support

Baby’s almost 2 weeks old and won’t latch on I’m not sure what too do exactly

I had this problem with my first but after my milk settled he was able to nurse perfectly but my new baby can’t seem at latch on at all it’s been frustrating very for us both I just prefer to breastfeed instead of bottle feeding and pumping it’s mentally draining for me 😞 does anyone have any advice I just don’t know what I’m doing wrong I’ve been trying so hard 😔

Tumble drying baby clothes

Baby Monitor Recommendations?

Hey Mammas!
Looking into a baby monitor that isn’t easy for someone to hack into (my sister had someone hack into the WiFi on theirs and take a screen shot of their babies sleeping 😳). I would also like to be able to see my baby from work and talk to her.
Any suggestions? TIA!

White noise for babies… I’m curious what everyone else does 🤍😴

A few questions for you all:

– Do you use white noise for naps, nighttime, or both?
– What type do you use (machine, app, YouTube, etc.)?
– Do you leave it on all night or turn it off once baby is asleep?
– What volume do you keep it at?
– Have you noticed it actually helps your baby settle?
– Do you worry about them becoming dependent on it?
– How long did you use it for?
– When (and how) did you stop using it? 👀
– Did stopping it affect your baby’s sleep at all?

Would love to hear different experiences because I’m still figuring out what works best! 🤍

No poo

My 6 week old has not pooed for 6 days yet, he has gone for 3-4 days but now it’s 6 days and I’m breastfeeding any advice ?

Sleep

Baby boy has never slept through the night which we accepted early on, contact naps in day. The hourly waking up is driving us crazy. Exclusively breastfeeding and as weeks go on he is adamant to be fed to sleep and uses it as comfort through out the night. Really considering a sleep trainer but heard mixed reviews about this as they don’t always stick to the routine. My husband helps as much as he can which is great. Any tips and honest advice will be so so appreciated please!!! 7 months in and I’m losing hope…

Hungry baby

My little boy is a very hungry baby. Will finish a bottle then an hour later he’s hungry again. Debating on changing to kendamil to see if that will fill him up more. Otherwise I’m going to look into hungry baby formula. He’s on 5oz bottles every 1-2 hours and always wakes up from a nap screaming cause he’s hungry again. Has anyone got any advice?
