My baby hated it like he didn’t like the taste

I personally liked this formula because it was super easy to mix. We didn't have to shake it, just swirl a couple times and its perfect.
However, my baby has acid reflux and we had to switch to A.R. She seems to be doing better on that so far.

what were the signs she had to concluded that it was acid reflux ?

My girls got better after switching to gentle ease in terms of gassy, colic and spit ups

I have tried the advanced and sensitive 360 care of the Similac brand. But for the last week he has started getting fussy during feeds, Will drink fast but then spilt up and has the worst time passing gas. Today his doctor mentioned the A.R brand 1st but it doesn't say he helps with gas & fussiness but I'm wondering if it's just cause he isn't getting full like he should

my baby was arching her back and grunting off and on for hours. We showed a video of it to the pediatrician. That combined with her vomiting (not just spit up. It would go all down my shirt and soak us both and would sometimes shoot out projectile) even with gentlease she was vomiting a lot, grunting, and crying after eating.
She is doing MUCH better on ar now. I would recommend trying gentlease first because it is easier to digest. A.R is thick and heavy, so it stays in their stomach better, but can be more difficult to digest.

My guy is on it and does fine

I use enfamil gentlease on my little guy and he seems to like it. I agree with the comment about it mixing pretty well when you swirl it around.

I put him on the gentlease and has been on it for 3 days but I have noticed he is having saliva bubbles like crazy and coughing like he is getting choked up.. It's starting to scare me. Should I keep him on it or not

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

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
