Tommy tippy do a nipple shaped one, my little one seems to like this better, still spits it out but keeps it in much longer then the normal ones. https://www.tommeetippee.com/en-gb/product/breast-like-soother#530=466&526=136&527=20116

Mam pacifier or the Avent soothie are the only ones my girl takes

Mam pacifiers are the only ones my son would take

I use the nuk pacifier right now. My little was over the Dr. Brown one, so we used Ninni pacifier for a more comfortable feel. I go back an forth with the Ninni and Nuk depending on her sleep sched, but she took to both pacifier really quickly!

same with both kids

My baby is exclusively breast fed and does the same she hasn’t wanted to take a paci & we’ve tried them all. Last week I got the Razbaby teether that is shaped like a paci & she loves it so much she randomly just started wanting her itzy ritzy paci we got from target.

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?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?

Showering

What’s everyone putting there wee ones in whilst jumping in the shower? Awake or sleeping.
