Bottle

Hi everyone,
My 5 week old little girl is breastfed. We tried a bottle twice in the last week with pumped milk and almost immediately afterwards she throws up so much. We are using doctor browns anti colic bottles with a 1 nipple. The milk was 2.5 days old and stored in the fridge. Today I tried pace feeding with her sitting up and continuously filling the nipple off and on. Has anyone else had any experience with this or any tips? I don’t remember our older baby going through this.

You should use a transitional nipple, not a size 1! We also hold the bottle horizontally so the nipple is only filled up half way. With breastfed babies, they’re use to slower flow of milk so that could be why!

Milk is only good for 24 hours if refrigerated I believe

@Lindsey S if refrigerated pumped milk can be stored for 4 days and still good

damn so I’ve been tossing good milk 😭 thanks girl

I would use a 0 nipple, or specifically a slow flow nipple. We use MAM anti colic bottles with a 0 and haven't had any issues with reflux or spitting up. Definitely continue to sit your baby upright with bottle being horizontal. Maybe try removing bottle more frequently and burp

Ive had the same issue with the same bottle/nipple. I switched to Philip Avent Natural Response Nipple &’ havent had any problems since. Baby controls the pace &’ the nipple only releases milk when baby is sucking. It also has different nipple flows so yu can figure out which one works for ur baby.

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

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

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?

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

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 🤣
