Not sure how old your twins are, but my twins are 4 months old and they still have 6 bottles a day

they are 23 weeks but I have at least 40 bottles I think for them

Yeah the amount they drink won't really change except possibly increasing 😅, my 9 month olds still have 6-7 bottles a day, and now that they've started eating solids, at a couple of those night feeds they eat 2-4 more oz than usual 🥴

Lol you can never have to many IMO. There’s nothing worst than when you need a bottle and none of them are clean

Haha i just brought 6 bran new tommee tippee anti colic bottles because they were half price.

I brought these mam bottles as they are in my local co op and they we’re different colours

I literally have 8 9oz mam bottles. 10 9oz tommee tippee, 5 5 oz. Tomme and 12 5oz mam

The first step of addiction is admitting you have a problem! 😆 We had so many Dr. Brown's bottles with our twins. We had clear, we had blue, and we had pink. Think we were washing like up to 14 bottles a day!! And of course we bought the sets that came with the extra nipples, teethers and toddler cups! We had bottle nipples for days!! Lol.
They're toddlers now. So it's straw cup city at our house with the twins and their not much older sister!

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

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

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?
