Bottle

I am still having trouble taking the bottle away from my LO. I feel guilty every time I hand it over but she literally asks for it and I’ve tried every sippy cup out there. She’ll do water only from sippy cups and milk only from her bottle. SOS 🥲 we’re approaching 18 months & I feel like I’m falling short

Have you tried the soft top sippy cups by Nuk? That’s what my little is transitioning with and takes his milk through.

So my friends son was on bottles until 2 and a half, then he saw my son use them when he was a baby and he decided he was too grown up and never wanted them again! So hopefully in time she will decide she’s too grown up too. Do you have any babies you could show her? And tell her big girls have big girl cups and maybe let her choose one?

My daughter is still on bottle too and i am ok with it she will stop it when she feels ready

My son is 23 months and still has a bottle but not like a baby bottle more of a learner bottle, more specific the Nuk First Choice+ Learner Bottle. He only has it for bed and only has a milk from it and I'm okay with that, I didn't see the point in stressing him out and taking it from him when clearly it comforts him.

My dentist has said it's perfectly okay so I don't see an issue with it

Have you tried these? My daughter transitioned with these and now just drink straw cups. She never liked sippys. Just another idea! They are cute and easy to hold! She still drinks her water out of them.

I just got my 22 month old off of it and we're still having some sleepless nights and nap refusals but it's worth it bc he hasn't had his bottle in a week. Just refuse and honestly it's gonna suck when she doesn't want to fall asleep or nap without it but they do eventually just settle for the sippy cup.

We use nuby and nuk bottles. I also have one dr browns cup with a straw

So I thought it was going to be really hard to transition but someone I met randomly at the park told me something that helped. Have a special sippy cup for milk and one for water. When they expect one or the other and it isn't they get upset. One day after doing this a while, I just hid all the bottles so it was out of sight our of mind. He hasn't asked for one since.

I'm totally in the same situation. I honestly didn't even realize I should have totally transitioned her by now... I was totally oblivious. She can drink from straw cups but I don't like them for milk because they leak and I don't want milk spills around the house. I have tried the Dr Brown 360 cups but she can't for the life of her figure it out. I am just now teaching her to use an open cup and I can't imagine a 6 month old doing that. She struggles and spills. I'm either going to have to deal with milk spills from straw cups or get her off cow's milk completely, which maybe I should do anyway.

These are actually spill free cups that my daughter has been using for a while now! It’s kinda big but she can hold it well! Just another option!

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
