Bottle refusal

My LG last feed was at 11:30pm last night which was 5oz instead of 7oz which she usually has. She will not take her morning feed and is refusing and pushing the bottle away. Usually she would of had this feed at 6:30. Has anyone else experienced their LO refusing their bottle? If so did your LO eventually take it and fed well for the rest of the day?

We are doing purees for dinner so she had some potato and brocoli but not a huge amount for her to still be full.

I'm hoping once she has gone down for her morning nap she will have it. I can't tell if she is teething, but she is constantly grabbing her ear at times. She won't let me look in her mouth. It was a very unsettled night last night too. Alot of wake ups of crying.

Are you feeding her as soon as she is awake? Usually mine wont take her feed within the first half hour to an hour, she is bf but it was the same with my other too and they were bottle fed ☺️ could be teething thou, can you feel anything? Xx

No usually 1hr after, unfortunately she is a early bird at the moment 🤣. I can't get my finger in her mouth to even feel lol. She has it firmly shut whenever I try to see. She is very grizzly and upset though. So I do think it is either her teeth or maybe a ear infection? Or tired 🤷‍♀️ She hasnt got a temperature which is good. Just can't help but worry. I've just put her down for a nap so hopefully she will want her bottle after xx

Yes mine is doing exactly the same. Lot of ear scratching & has reduced each feed by atleast 30-60ml. She wakes up once in night for a feed which is unlike of her - sometimes for 90ml & sometimes 180ml. There’s no consistency anymore! She’s displaying similar signs of 4 month regression during night but day naps haven’t been affected. Mine has purées too & I have tested with no solids in night but behaviour is still same. Hopefully it’s to do with all the new skills she’s developing and will go back to normal feeding habits soon x

FYI we got her tested for ear infection on Sunday & it was negative. She also doesn’t have any high temperature x

I didn't think about develop causing it as she is nearly crawling now. I have finally managed to check in her mouth and it looks as though her top teeth are on there way! Bulging gums and red. And she has finally taken her bottle bless her. Hope your little ones feeds go back to normal soon for you x

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.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

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?

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

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?

How long did it take for your child’s circumcision to heal and you could give him a bath?

I’ve just been wiping him down with a fiber wash cloth but I just wanted to know from others experience on how long it took
