My pediatrician doesn't care if he has milk at all, she said water or milk with meals, and water throughout the day. So I guess, if your son wants milk with meals, it's fine, as long as he's drinking water in between.

We're opposite.. water with meals, and milk with snacks or to chill.

what if he depends on it at night before going to bed

i limit mine to no more than 24oz per day per their pediatrician suggestion.

as long as he's eating a balanced diet then I see no issue, but do be aware of of his teeth. Eventually, the last step before bed has to be brushing his teeth.
Milk, especially in a bottle setting in his mouth all night will ruin his teeth.

We don’t do any straight milk at all and our kids are growing just fine. We tried with both and they got constipation from it. So we do cottage cheese or mozzarella sticks etc. for them to have their milk intake. I’m the same I can’t drink straight milk so maybe I’m the one to blame 😂

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
