Bottles for silent reflux

Can I please have some advice on the best bottles for silent reflux please? Also, do you use infacol or dentinox alongside? If so which one is better?

I’m currently using tommee tippee anti colic bottles, infacol and aptamil anti reflux formula.

Any advice, suggestions etc is greatly appreciated! I’m at my whits end and it’s starting to affect my mental health I feel so down, exhausted, emotionally drained. I’ve held myself together all day and just had a meltdown when my partner got home

We've tried tommee tippee, mam and Dr Brown's and found that mam worked the best out of those especially with the thick anti reflux formula.

Hope you're ok! Feel free to message if you ever want to chat as we're also in the thick of it right now. Some days can be so hard! X

Dr brown worked best for us I tried them all .. only bottles that’s my son brings up wind on but every kid is different .
I asked my Oesteopsth this and said the only ones she wouldn’t recommend were tommee tippee xx

Mam works best for us with formula and carobel in it.. she also is on prescribed formula because of cmpa.. its so hard to see them struggle xx

We use NUK bottles with latex teats as the flow is quite slow and seems to have helped x

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

Help

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.

Is this normal?

My 12m old is really funny with kids going near him, he’s always been this way, but anytime family’s kids sit next to him or head his way he moans or cries and moves away. He also really observes them and is never really relaxed, always looking over his shoulder. Has anyone experienced this? (He’s starting nursery properly tomorrow so hoping this helps) but is this normal?

8 week immunisations

My 8 week old has his first set of injections tomorrow and I’m abit nervous. Does anyone have any advice for after the jabs? I know they get a temp after so have got some calpol to give just before hand. Should I put him to bed in less clothing to make sure he doesn’t get too hot? Any tips from your experience with first set of immunisations? Am I worrying more than I need to? 😅
