Tricks/advice for formula feeding?

I’ve already posted something similar but hoping this gets a bit more traction.

My baby girl is seven months, and has been exclusively breastfed the entire time. I tried pumping and doing bottle feeds quite early on as she didn’t latch well, but she just didn’t want any of it.

Seven months later and she still flat out REFUSES my breast milk from anything but my boob, no matter how I try (me, my boyfriend, parents, from a bottle/sippy cup/open cup).

I’ve also tried every single formula brand out there, both pre made liquid and the powder, and she’ll take like, two sips and then cry for the boob.

I’m really getting to the end of my tether with it as I just desperately want a break. She also had oral thrush recently which passed to my nipples and made feeding extremely painful. It’s just kind of made me resent breastfeeding a bit now (which of course makes me feel guilty) and honestly, I just want to stop. But I genuinely don’t know how I’m supposed to when she won’t feed any other way.

I’m sure I’ve just got to be patient and keep taking her few sips at a time…but we all know patience as a new mum is pretty hard. Hoping someone has some magic trick that will get her on the formula just like that?? 🫠

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅

11 month old constantly standing in cot

Please tell me someone has some advice for this cause wow it’s trying. My almost 11 month old is fully on the move now and his new favourite thing is repeatedly pulling to stand in his cot. The problem is that he wears a sleep sack (mainly so his legs don’t get stuck between the bars tbh lol) so he’s not stable enough to lower himself down. So earlier he fell backwards and hit is head and now we feel like we can’t just leave him to it. Typically it’s his first full day at nursery tomorrow and my first day back at work IT’S LIKE HE KNOWS!!
Please tell me someone has some tips. Currently we are quietly placing him back on his back every time but he just keeps doing it! 🤣🤡

My seven year old

Is out of control. Her dad and I share 50/50 and when she comes to my house she is so mean. And idk what to do

Took 9 week old to a family party where there was loud music and she was next to the speaker for most of the time (about 3 hours). She slept through most of it. Do you think she has hearing loss from this?

Freaking out right now :(

Struggling in the 4 month regression

How are people getting out of the 4 month regression? I’ve been looking it up and it says I need to be trying to put him down drowsy but awake but this does not work for my LO. Every time we do this he ends up being wide awake and after almost an hour of trying we have to contact nap/rock to sleep. I want to avoid rocking to sleep because now when he wakes up in the night he needs to be rocked back to sleep which he never used to need.

Nights are constantly broken because we are up 2-3 times to rock him back to sleep. Please give me your tips on how to survive this and how to get out of this!! Constantly feel like I’m failing and doing something wrong
