Hi! My LO had bouts of colic till about 6 weeks. Infacol worked really well for us.. if you use it, ensure you give it before every feed to ensure it starts it's action. We also got super obsessed with burping her and would keep her up for at least 30 mins post feed. We also made her do cycle legs every morning which helps relieve gas.
Hope this helps! You will get through this!! Good luck x

She is combi fed and we changed formula from cow and gate to kendamil.

I second keeping upright after feeds, infacol is also a must. And if formula fed, debate changing bottles? I was using nuk colic free, but they didn't work for us the flow was too fast aswell. Dr brown colic bottles helped. And definitely leg cycles, making sure she got all the farts out she could aha. Think ours lasted til around 7 weeks, but oddly enough we found out in the end she had a cows milk allergy. She had bad reflux too. 💪you got this

Colic magically and naturally disappears by the time baby is 3 months old and it is soooo amazing! Be careful with Infacol as it can cause constipation and having seen a stool stuck coming out of my daughter's bottom and her screaming in agony (sorry if TMI) you need to be cautious on how much you give. It is good if not used at every feed.

Over feeding!! Doing smaller feeds- I know a few girls who’ve found this to be the same! Xx

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. 🩵

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?

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 🙂

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.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

How long did it take for your child’s circumcision to heal and you could give him a bath?

I’ve just been wiping him down with a fiber wash cloth but I just wanted to know from others experience on how long it took
