Stopping Milk and bottles

I’m a little stuck on what to do with my little boys bottles. He will still have about 7oz of milk when he first wakes up and about 8oz before bed. I’m not sure when I should stop it, I’m thinking of dropping morning bottle pretty soon and just giving him his breakfast early. Just don’t know what’s best.
Also for his bottle at bed I’m wanting him off bottles and maybe using cups but don’t know what would be best to use. He usually has his bottle in bed and then self soothes to sleep but can’t just give him an open cup of milk because it would go everywhere 😂.
I’m so stuck on what to do, any advice is welcomed 😊

Is he on formula still or whole milk? Have u tried non leak sippy cups? My son has his whole milk in a non spill cup with his breakfast when he wakes up and with his supper before bed, sometimes he won’t even drink it and prefers juice. May take him a while to get used to not having bottles anymore, but it’s a 3 day rule

he’s on whole milk. I was going to try one of the munchkin ones non spill. My little one doesn’t always drink it all to be honest but I like to offer it to make sure he’s full

yes I use the munchkin non spill cups, my son has been using it for around 3 months now and it’s so easy for them to use and turns into a cup! I hold it for him as he likes to throw things when he’s finished😂

We literally just stopped giving our boy his morning bottle and straight up replaced it with food. We still do bedtime bottle but sometimes he doesn't bother, like tonight he only had 3oz instead his normal 8.

Out of interest can I ask why you’re wanting to stop the milk? Or is it just the bottles themselves? My girl still has 8oz morning and night whether or not she fully finishes it and it’s my understanding that until 2 they recommend 16oz milk and another 8oz dairy products (or alternative). Was just curious that’s all x

I’m not wanting to stop his milk, just wanting to transition him off the bottle to use a cup instead. I’m only curious about the amount of milk he should be having at his age, but I know all babies are different which makes it harder.

We’ve just swapped the morning bottle for breakfast straight away! It’s working well so far and he doesn’t notice? He wasnt eating much breakfast and he was starting to be a bit sick every now and then from it and now he seems better. I think we will keep the bedtime bottle for comfort for a while but just make sure we brush his teeth after the bottle x

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?

Nappy’s ?

How many packs of nappies should I get? I currently have 4 packs of 24 in the 1st size and 1 pack of size 2

Circumcision question

So my son got circumcised before leaving the hospital he’s 3 days old and they told me the day after leaving to take it off which is today and just add a lot of Vaseline to the area to help it and when we took him to his pediatrician he told us to just keep adding Vaseline on top of the gauze and it’ll fall off on its own but now I’m worried that it’ll get stuck to his skin if it sits to long. What do you feel I should do

Ms Rachel ??

How many of you are putting ms Rachel on??? I’ve just introduced it to my 8 month old and it’s like sorcery. I feel so guilty putting it on because LO don’t take his eyes off the screen, but it’s the only way I’m getting 20/30 minutes during Velcro baby stage. I’ll put it on twice a day for up to 30 mins at a time, the rest of the time we’re out the house, playing with toys or he’s with me doing jobs around the house. Should I even feel guilty?😩

Is two packs of diapers, a pack of bibs from the registry, a Hape brand baby toy, and a bottle warmer enough to give a first time mom friend at her baby shower?

The bottle warmer is something I already owned (very lightly used) and it’s the brand that goes with the bottles she chose. I offered her mine so she didn’t have to buy one and she was like hell yeah. But now I’m wondering if I’m bringing enough to the shower because the bottle warmer isn’t something I’m purchasing brand new. Lmk!!!!!
