Milk transition

How are you transitioning your baby to whole milk if they were on hypoallergenic formula? Did they adapt okay?

If they’re on hypoallergenic formula the transition is going to suck. They leave out a lot of allergens in those specific formulas probably also adding in a ton of breakdown for better digestion. Milk has lactaid in it which a lot of people are allergic to they’ll probably have diarrhea or constipation for a while if not forever. Id choose a different option like lactaid free, goat milk, any of the oat mills, coconut etc… no soy either has a lot of hormones in it.

My little one was on nutramigen, and her transitioning was fine. She got a bit constipated but we upped her water intake and gave foods that helped her pooped and she hasn’t had an issues since we’ve done that

We know our baby had issues with dairy, so we transitioned straight to oat milk but are trying other milk products to see how she does, yogurt was fine, baked gods with milk were okay, trying cheese next and then whole milk at some point to see how she does.

I’ve been doing lactose free milk mixed with water (half and half) but he was very constipated so his pediatrician recommended ripple but it got better so we are still using the lactose free

My girl was in hypoallergenic alementin and we added an once more of whole milk to each formula bottle every few days. We transitioned slowly to look out for side effects. She’s now 100% on whole milk, no issues. This was all with pediatrician advice.

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. 🩵

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?

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.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!
