Transition to Soya milk

How did you go about introducing soya milk instead of formula?
My LG is on SMA Althera, and admittedly she isn’t a fan at all! We’ve been told she can start having soya milk in her bottles instead of the formula. I’ve seen guidance for “normal” formula that you can mix in whole milk but how to do you go about switching when they have CMPA? Can you still mix milks?

We’re also on althera and I was slowly transitioning but the fear of not being able to get ahold of the formula scares me now that he’s one so Iv just done a straight swap and so far we’re doing good

But every couple of days I would swap it out an ounce at a time

that’s great - I was thinking of doing a straight swap as well as the Althera seems to separate easily, so I thought adding soya to it could make it worse! I’m going to give it a go this week… fingers crossed 😊

He didn’t like the taste of it mixed to together it was strange but I was also trying to get him off the carobel so I didn’t have to take it out with me anymore

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂
