Is anyone planning on doing toddler formula? Or just cows milk?

Let me start by saying we did it mamas! Our babies made it through the first year beautifully and so did we. The ups and downs were wild but I’m so proud of all of us and I thank you all so so much for being such a supportive group 🥹💕

My question is that I’m considering Serenity Kids toddler formula (my daughter has low iron, both my husband and I have deficiencies. I learned of mine during pregnancy) and we give her vitamin drops (Mommy's Bliss Baby Multivitamin + Iron) and figured it wouldn’t hurt to do a month or two of toddler formula with her meals instead of cows milk. But I wanted to hear everyone else’s opinion and see what they were transitioning their babes to. Thanks!🫶

My son just turned 1 last week and I have him on soy milk. Since his body’s adjusting to it he’s been doing fine with it

We transitioned to regular milk, but will also give toddler formula (the Enfamil brand) for a short time. My son isn’t a big eater, so want to make sure he’s getting the calories in.

I am! I’ve been doing a ton of research on toddler milk and was thinking of introducing that first. Im planning to still breastfeed some and it seems like a good compliment.

I give my twins toddler formula in addition to solids. I don’t feel as though their digestive systems are ready for cow’s milk until they are closer to two. Also I’m biased because I don’t feel like we should drink it either I just use it for baking etc. Do what feels right for you😊

I breastfeed and won’t be switching to cows milk. And if I was formula feeding I would go onto toddler formula. It’s got the right nutrients for them! 😊

Thank you everyone for your input! It’s so appreciated ❤️❤️

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.
