Dropping a feed..

So my little girl is 9 months having 3 meals a day was having 4 bottles, the health visitor told me to drop a feed, just wondering what time of the day did everyone drop their feed? She’s suggested to drop the morning feed and just give breakfast.. but I see a lot of people dropping an afternoon feed instead, does it just depend on what works for you?..

My little one is still in between 3-4 bottles. I found it easier to drop the feed in the middle of the day rather than morning or evening

My girl used to have bottle at 7,11,3,7 and we dropped the 11am feed xx

My little girl is naturally dropping one bottle, her 4pm is reducing down to just a few ounce. I’m just following her lead on it

My HV told me the same for our 8 month old. We had 4 bottles a day + breakfast, lunch and snack, and dropped to 2 bottles a day, sometimes 1 in the afternoon if I felt she was hungry. Now we do

7am BF
8am bottle
9:30 cereal
11am BF
12pm lunch
3pm BF
5pm bottle or snack
8pm big bottle

Works for us and she sleeps 8:30pm - 6:30am every day more or less

I'm going through this at the moment. My little girl was having 4x 8oz bottles but suddenly started refusing her bottles half way through and seems to be barely drinking anything in comparison to what she used to. I''ve tried dropping a bottle today and increasing her food but will persevere over the next few days to try and figure out a new schedule which suits her. Feels like a guessing game! X

it’s so hard isn’t it, my little girl is eating meals but little of each so I’m questioning wether she’s having enough milk then.. definitely a guessing game x

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Has anyone got any tips on how to GET RID of dummies😂🤦🏼‍♀️ my little girl is obsessed and i have no idea where to start!!

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?

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.

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😢💗

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?
