Formula

I’m still undecided about breastfeeding/formula however I’m going to pack some formula bottles to take with me just incase that’s what I decide and so I have some ready at home

This has then lead me on to what brand of formula to try, there is so many, what would people recommend who have formula fed already? (I know every baby is different but you have to start somewhere and I don’t even know where to begin)

Kendamil 👍

Silly question, but can you choose which formula to take to the hospital or do you have to check with your midwife first?

I would ask your midwife first if the hospital supply formula. I know the hospital I am with they provide it for you.

Go for the cheapest option. They all have to comply with uk standards and you’re only paying extra for the brand.

I’m planning on breast feeding but I know it’s not that simple and straightforward so just incase there’s any issues I’m taking in a small pack of kendamil ready to drink formula bottles as a back up

I’m planning to breastfeed my baby girl but I’ll also be using formula! This is my 3rd baby and I’ve always used Cow & Gate formula with my other two girls so this is the brand I’ll also be using ☺️

We went with Kendamil and there is a started pack for ready to feed

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? 😅

Signs of Neurodivergent Toddler

Any moms of neurodivergent toddlers who could help me out? My son is 13 months old. I know that is technically too early for a diagnosis, but I have a gut feeling that he is on the autism spectrum.

The main sign he shows is hand leading. He does not point at all, and instead will take my hand and lead me anywhere he wants to go,
getting very frustrated if I do not follow.

He is also extremely sensitive to being touched, especially when it comes to hats and putting clothes on. He won’t let anything touch his head or face and I have to fight him to brush his teeth, comb his hair, etc.

He’s very interested in things that aren’t toys and will repeat the same behavior over and over. He can go in and out of doors or walk up and down stairs for hours. He loves taking things out of containers and putting the back in repeatedly.

We recently took him on his first vacation and he REALLY struggled with the change. He struggles with any type of transition or change in routine.

He laughs, makes eye contact, mostly responds to his name, but doesn’t do any other gestures.

Normal toddler behavior or signs of ASD? Let me know your thoughts!

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! 🤣🤡
