Upright after breastfeeding?

How long do you keep baby upright after feeding for Breastfed?

We're combi feeding so after a bottle we keep her upright for 20 mins then lay her down is it the same for Breastfed?

Struggling to keep my eyes open when she's fed for an hour across both boobs 😅

I’m intrigued to see other people’s answers here, I’m the same as you we are combi feeding and try for at least 20 mins as LO can be a bit splootery. But he can feed for an hour too, so the staying awake after can be a challenge!

I'm breastfeeding and baby has reflux. Our lactation consultant said to keep her upright after feeds for 30mins but at night 15mins should be ok so that's what we're doing. It seems to be working! At night she seems ok but during the day we still get some vomits no matter how long she is upright for lol

It’s reassuring to know it’s not just my LO! I don’t know if you find the same but some days it’s minimal and the next it feels like he’s spewed up like a hundred times!

I know what you mean, if she doesn't vomit all day then it's amazing but ours usually saves it all up and does it in spectacular style haha

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. 🥺

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? 🥲

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?

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?

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
