Amount per feeding

How much are y’all’s babies eating?
Mine has been taking 6 oz since he was 2 months old and no matter how much I give he still whines after so I never know if he’s actually hungry because you can soothe with a paci. How do I know when to give him more or not?

When we experiment with volumes, we will add an extra ounce to the bottle and see what she does. If she takes it down now problem we know she is wanting more. If she doesn't want it she will move it away with her hand when she's done or push it out with her tongue.

We use donor milk with our girl and we pasteurize it every night. Once it's pasteurized it's good for 24 hours, so we tend to experiment the most with her dream feeds. Instead of measuring out an exact amount, we will just pour whatever is left over from the day into the bottle and see how much of it she takes. If we know we have extra from the start, we will add 1 oz to a feed during the day :)

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x
