Teat size

Hey everyone, we are using mam bottles with size 2 teats, how did you know when to move up to size 3 teats? I heard they are much faster than size 2 teats and dont want him to feel water boarded 😂 xx

We moved to the size before Christmas. Our lg wasn’t finishing her bottles and was getting tired. When we first moved up she did look like she was being water boarded haha as she was so used to sucking a lot harder but after a few bottles she realised she didn’t have to and she’s been fine since x

We are trying to transition to 3 now but really struggling.
My little girl is not finishing bottles anymore as she is getting bord or tired but she cannot get along with 3.
It pours out her mouth and she coughs and splutters.
We keep her upright and even this doesn't help.
Any advise would be welcomed. X

we just persevered and took it slow till she realised she didn’t have to suck as hard. But we do use Carobel for her reflux so the formula is a little thicker. She did eventually figure it out and now she’s fine but we’ve been on size 3 for a couple of months now x

many thanks, it is so hard because she gets to the point I think she gets scared because she keeps coughing so much then she refuses the bottle all together but she has gone from taking 6oz per feed down to 3/4 and then wanting more sooner.
Need to give it another try.
She is 6 months on Wednesday and has 2 meals a day plus her milk so I am not worried about her but would be nice not to keep wasting the milk.

It is crazy because her one feed at night she drains the bottle still. X

you could try the x cross mam teats which are variflow. I read the size 3 came out quite fast so I gave these I go and my LO took them really well just after 4 months (although it says from 6 months) xx

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?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

How many words

Just a quick gauge of how many words your little ones are saying at this age. I heard by 15 months it should be 5 words, are most around this mark ?
