Well my baby is 14 weeks and and she’s only eating 5-6 oz but she weighs 11lbs

My baby 13 weeks, eats 3-4 oz every 2 hoursish

6 oz for the first bottle of the day and then 5 oz every bottle after. Depending on the day she has anywhere from 26-31 oz

4-6oz every 2.5-3 hours, average is about 28oz per day

14weeks tomorrow and drinks about 31oz/day 3.5oz every two hours

My girl is 16 weeks and we are still doing 4oz every 2.5 hours or so and if she’s still acting hungry I’ll give her 2 more oz. She’s just starting to sleep through the night more and nap less during the day.

My 12 week
Old is drinking 3 ounces whenever she feels like it. Lol. Typically every 3ish hours. Maybe sooner. I’ve lost track. Haha

My girl is drinking about 3.5-4oz each feeding
It was 4-5oz from 4-8 weeks

14 week old- he’s doing 4-5 oz every 2-3 hours. Doesn’t nap much during the day and almost sleeps through the night. He’s a little over 15 pounds now.

I mostly breast feed but my girl takes one bottle at the end of the day and it’s usually 4oz. Sometimes a little more or less.

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!
