What would you do??

So my LO goes to bed at 6pm he drinks between 6oz-8oz before he goes to bed and he sleeps till 6.30am/7am
We change him and give him a bottle at 10pm which he normally drinks around 7oz/8oz but he doesn’t wake for it he only wakes as we change him.
When he wakes up on the morning he’s just not interested in his bottle straight away and when we feed him after a hour he’s been awake he only drinks 4oz but he’s not overly fussed about it. Should we stop feeding him at 10pm??
We only really feed him as it’s a long time 6pm/7am
Thanks

Honestly my boy is the same in the morning. He’s not really hungry until a couple hours after he wakes. And I just think some adults are the same. I don’t eat breakfast until a couple hours after I wake up.
I used to dream feed him around 10/10.30, I have dropped this recently to see if he would sleep through still, which he did, but it hasn’t made a difference in his hunger in the morning. He’s still not massively fussed about his bottle.
I’ve started giving some porridge in the morning so I at least know he’s had something, around half an hour after he wakes. he absolutely loves that. And then about 1.5 hours after he’s woke up and he’s ready for a nap then, I give him his bottle x

Firstly can I say how jealous I am of how much sleep you are getting! Secondly does he take many naps during the day for him to sleep so well at night? And lastly my boy is exactly the same and not interested in his morning feed till at least an hour after waking up and it is still a complete struggle! Maybe Amelia is right and we should start some porridge/baby rice too

Hi my little girl also has no interest in the first feed for at least an hour and will barely have half. I try and get up at 7 and I’d love for her to take it at 7. As she eats every 3 hours. The later she has it the later her bedtime is. She wakes about 10pm/11 for a feed which she usually drifts back off to sleep for. Not sure if I could stop that feed yet as she does grizzle for it. I’ve tried upping her day bottles by an ounce but she’s not interested. Its reassuring to know I’m not the only one whose baby isn’t really interested in the first feed. Xx

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.

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?

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.
