Can I get opinions on Dr. Browns vs MAM bottles? I do plan to BF if I can but wanting to pump so partner can help out.

Same here and I got MAM from recommendations 🍼

I don’t like how many pieces the mam comes in, too much plastic, leaked water after warming in water bath, and made reflux worse. But the nipple is much more like a real nipple. So it depends on your baby’s preference.

my lil 1 is on mam bottles but i pumped and freezed it so wen i wasn’t there he cud bottle feed her my milk helped with night feeds to u shud defiantly pump and freeze it

We’ve only ever used MAM, well we tried some others after a few months but baby didn’t take to them.
I found they worked the best for us for combi feeding so I never changed. We just used the size 0 teats so she would have to work as hard at the bottle as she would at the breast. Stopped her from getting a preference for a while but eventually we switched to just bottles

mam is best bottles tbh my lil 1 is on 0 teats but we find them leaking a lot but shes on full formula cow and gate shes gained loads of weight and on 80z now and stil wants more after

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
