Anyone still using formula?

I find he didn’t like cows milk and during the night he still wakes and I will make bottles with the prep machine. Can’t see how I could do cows milk and heat them at night

We're not on formula, but just wanted to say wr are the same with BF. My lb doesn't want cows milk, he only wants boob. He still wakes in the night for feeds also.

I give formula and will continue with it until she no longer wants a bottle at night

We don't do it during the night as he doesn't normally wake but his last bottle is usually formula as he isn't a massive fan on food

You just heat in the microwave and shake really well x

would involve going downstairs and disturbing the dogs unless I got a microwave for upstairs but then also need a mini fridge. How do you get round it x

You could try mixing formula with cows milk and reducing the formula week by week. Then so long as baby is eating enough during the day you could offer water through the night... soon baby will think no point waking for water and will sleep right through. X

Yeah I still give my boy ready made aptamil because he just isn’t keen on cows milk. He will have it with his breakfast but otherwise only wants to drink the toddler milk. Which I’m happy with. Especially for of a night

Have you tried semi skimmed? Sometimes whole cows milk is too heavy. We also struggled and baby was waking in the night for a bottle, so we cut the bottle before bed and now he doesn’t wake in the night because he’s learnt he doesn’t need milk to go to sleep xx

Depending on how many times does he still needs night feeds. Tommee tippee or any other electric bottle warmers would do the job.

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!
