How many bottles of milk does your baby have?

And do they still wake in the night for a bottle? Mine has a bottle in the day and then wakes up for one in the night. Thanks in advance xx

Mine also has one in the morning when he wakes up and one just before he goes to bed at night

It's really variable for us at the moment. She hasn't woken at night for one in a few months. We were on 2/3 bottles a day but last few days she's been wanting more!

My little girl has a bottle when she wakes up and then one bottle an hour before bed

My LO has 2 bottles. 7oz in the morning when she wakes up and 7oz before bed at 7.15pm. she doesn't have a bottle during the night anymore.

Usually two - one in the morning and one before bed….but sometimes doesn’t want her bedtime bottle at all x

We’re between 2/3. She has one for her nap and one before bed and she’ll wake for one at night. She eats well in the day aswell but we can’t seem to drop that night one

If napping at home he has one then. Always one before bed. Hoping to drop the midday bottle soon

Usually 2, 1 late afternoon and 1 before bed. We’ve tried to swap the afternoon one for a snack but she has none of it. She’s recently had a few days where she’s not asked for it so I think she might be getting close to dropping that one now

She has no milk at all now. She just used to play around with the cows milk we offered her and then leave it. So we stopped offering it her

Usually 2.. one when she has a nap during the day and then one before bedtime but sometimes she’ll wake up during the night for a milk as well 😊

To those whose baby doesn’t have a bottle in the night, was that their choice? As in, they just don’t wake up for it. Or did you comfort them without the bottle or did you try the water trick? Thank you xx

I’ve tried water, she doesn’t have any of it. She can’t even be comforted she will cry and cry until she gets that bottle so I’m open to ideas too haha. She’s having 2 in the night we dropped one in the day and she’s just moved it to the night 🤷🏻‍♀️🤦🏻‍♀️

Yes my little girl just stopped waking for a night bottle at around 4 months. The only time she’ll have a bottle at night is if she’s poorly and hasn’t been eating much during the day

Avatar

Yes my little one stopped on her own, she dropped the 3am bottle at about 13 weeks and the only time she has a bottle at night is if she’s poorly but we’ll give her one if she asks. We’ve always fed on demand which works for us

Mine just gradually stretched out her night time sleep.
From about 8 weeks old she was going from 9pm to 5am, that 5am just started stretching longer and longer.
We then moved her bedtime to 7pm and gave her a larger bottle before bed, this was around 3 months. She gradually started going from 7pm to 7am.

She had severe reflux so once we started weaning she developed a preference for food. She refuses any milk now, but eats loads of food so we just don't offer it her anymore

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

This might rattle some people

Ok, this might get a bit long, and a bit bumpy, so get comfy and buckle up.

So about a week or 2 ago, there was a post on here regarding sleepovers. Not letting their child go to them as you can't trust who'll be at the house etc.

Now, given recent incidents in nurseries and schools, plus my own experience back in the 90s, I am more concerned about sending my child to nursery and later school than I am to a friend's house for a sleep over.

The other day a man was jailed for abusing children at the nursery he worked at. A woman has been arrested for sleeping with an underage boy and then getting pregnant by a different underage boy while on bail for the first offence.

Young girls and boys get sexually harassed and bullied when at school, not all of them. But more than you think. And not just by other kids, but by adults who we as parents are trusting to look after our kids.

A sleepover, is a more controlled environment, with only a handful of people coming into contact with your child. A school, a club etc there can be 100s of people coming into contact with your child.

I was targeted at 7 years old by the owner of a prominent private school. Thankfully, I wasn't SA'd. In year 5 of primary school, I started to develop early, I was harassed by the boys and teachers made remarks about how my uniform didn't fit right, always "adjusting it" around my chest and legs.

Years 7-9 of secondary school were hell. But it was all under the guise of "we're just messing around". A teacher twanging my exposed bra strap (none uniform day) is not "messing around".

Boys pinning me down trying to rip open my shirt to see my breasts.

I fear for my daughter. I hope she takes after my father's family, flat chested.

We need to educate all our children, what is acceptable behaviour. And to come to us, as their parents should ANYTHING happen.

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.
