Formula feeding

Formula feeding mums, how often do you feed your LOs? Do you also feed them at night? How much milk/many bottles do you tend to give at night? I’ve recently started combi feeding so LB has 4 bottles now in the day and then BF in the evening & night but want to stop.

My daughter goes to bed about 7pm after her bottle.
We'll change and feed her just before we go to bed then she'll sleep through until morning. She might wake early but doesn't want her bottle until about 8am

Caught Husband Watching Girls Videos

Long story Short , am I Wrong for being upset at my husband for watching provocative lustful videos of girls half naked dancing and grinding on FB Reels AFTER he swore up and down he ignored those kind of videos. Not to mention I clearly stated and thought in that moment we both understood that I am not ok with him watching those kind of videos because 1.) they make me insecure asf since CLEARLY I do not have their bodies hello I’ve had 2 of his children and am currently 4 months Pp Breastfeeding mom
And 2.) he’s watching and enjoying another woman’s body Ass boobs etc and pleasuring his mind which makes me feel not good enough not beautiful enough for my own husband. And 3.) ITS NOT THAT HARD TO SWIPE PAST THEM. It’s a CHOICE to sit there and go down a rabbit hole of video after video after video and all the same person just in different lingerie whatever. My mind is messed up now and I don’t want him to see me naked anymore or even feel like having sex anymore because I just don’t look like those girls and I’m the complete opposite of them my body is still recovering from giving birth I’m trynna find my spark back and this just made me feel even worse now. Yes he apologized and kept saying he doesn’t want them and Bs Bs but now I don’t believe anything he says… cause I did at first and look what tf was the truth.

Nights are brutal

Anyone else feel dread the moment it starts to get dark out? Waking up every 2 to 3 hours to feed and pump is so hard. But to top it off, it feels so lonely. Trying to be quiet so no one (even the baby) wakes up. Struggling with how tired you feel and how much you wish you could just hit snooze on it all and fall asleep. It’s a type of mental pain. Or is it just me? 😞

Sleeping in cot

Hi all! Does anyone have any recommendations on how to encourage baby to sleep in their cot? My baby is only three days old but does not settle in his cot at night. During the day he seems to be able to sleep anywhere but the night is different as he only settles on me. I don’t know if I just have to be persistent and sit through his cries but that feels cruel to do so. Thank you in advance!

Struggling

I’m now understanding why it’s so easy for couples to break up during pregnancy or even after , the mean can really treat you like shit because they can’t handle it. I’m about to be temporarily sleeping in the streets of SD (in my car) with twins inside me because it’s just been so bad after i got pregnant our relationship just got worse 😔 i’m not sure how to deal with it all, i feel played and alone it’s worse because i don’t know anyone else out here smh.

Trapped gas

My little one is 4 weeks old and is suffering alot with trapped gas on an evening. We do the bicycle legs etc and she does get them out but causes her alot of pain.
Could it be her formula, bottles??
Any recommendations to ease her discomfort would be greatly appreciated ❤️ x

What would you do? Need advice regarding formula feeding at night!

Me and my hubby have got in to a routine with our little one where he will pretty much always do the last feed around 10-11pm. She's now 8 months old, she sleeps well, its getting harder and harder to settle her after this late feed. I suggested dropping it, but he thinks she's not ready yet because she was prem and she's still small for her age. I then suggested to start the feed when she stirs, don't wake her up from deep sleep, and trying not to wake her too much for the nappy change, so it's basically a dream feed and she'll go straight back to sleep. He doesn't seem to understand this concept. Instead, he fully wakes up, takes her in to a bright room starts chatting to her.... No wonder she's not getting back to sleep after!!! Then he moans he didn't get much sleep, he went to bed really late. When I try and take over he gets upset! I'm worried it's going to start affecting her sleep. Should I be worried or do I just let him get on with it?
