No bottles

Looking for some recommendations! My son is 11 weeks old and will start daycare in 3 weeks. He REFUSES to take bottles. Any recommendations to get him to take a bottle so the transition to daycare is easier?

I’ve tired warm and cook milk
I’ve tried different brands of bottles
I’ve tried different nipples

none seem to work

My mom had this same problem and ended up using the convertible sippy cups with nipples!

I use the pigeon bottles off of Amazon and they are the only bottle my breastfed baby will take. It also helped if I put her in the same position she breastfed in

Have you tired the boon nursh I swear by them it’s the only bottle both my breastfeed babies took everything else was a fail, with my first I would start to breastfeed and then swap it out for the bottle sometimes it worked but I would use a haakaa to collect the milk flow. Wishing you the best I know it can be hard and so frustrating but you got this mama🫶🥹

My boys really like the mam bottles I love them too. Super easy to clean and my boys haven’t spit up as much. They however took bottles from day one since I exclusively pump. A good friend of mine whose daughter had trouble taking bottles would only take the comotomo natural baby bottle. I stumbled upon a blog today that talked about the pros and cons of the comotomo bottles.
Pros:
Nipple and base are made of medical grade silicone (no BPA, PVC, or phthalates)
Soft and wide nipple mimics mother’s breast more closely and prevents rejection of breast
Dual air vents help prevent gas and colic
CONS
Silicone design makes heating up milk take longer than other materials
Silicone bottle body falls easily if it’s not a hard, flat surface
More expensive than other comparable bottles
Here are the pros and cons of the mam bottles too.
Pros:
Air vents in the bottom of the bottle reduce air swallowed
Easily sterilize bottle in the microwave
Ultra-soft, silicone nipple mimics breast

CONS
Prone to leak if  all pieces are not screwed back together tightly
Some babies experienced more gassiness due to small air leaks

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
