Yes I read that. But thats why I'm asking if anyone has done it before. I don't think 1 or 2 bottles will hurt but then again im not sure. And if somebody could help I wouldn't be here asking the question.

No, not before 12 month's. I'd suggest braving the cold and grabbing formula

I think he’s more at risk drinking cows milk than being taken outside. Wrap him up and go get formula

absolutely nope do not risk intestinal bleeding !

No, even a small amount can really hurt them, they’ve only just started eating solids.
Definitely brave the cold and get some formula 🙂

everyone else’s comment suggests the same! To not give him cows milk it is dangerous

Cows milk has too many minerals for their intestines and kidneys to handle before 12 months of age. It therefore increases the risk of kidney damage and intestinal bleeding. That being said cows milk can be used in cooking from 6 months as the amounts are smaller. I would personally not risk giving it as it’s not like he’s 11 months and so borderline

Sounds bad and i do not agree nor would i personally do this, however, when my 2nd nephew was 4 months old my sister just swapped him to Cows milk from formula completely coz she "couldnt be assed with formula anymore" but he was perfectly fine and is now a healthy 14 year old.

So id say a night of it as a one off isnt going to do much harm in the grand scheme of things 🤷🏼‍♀️.

However, I would personally just wrap up both of you and go get the formula because that would obviously be better for baby.

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

New born

Finally had my baby girl via C-section on the 18th, everything has been so far. But I’ve noticed she’s very fussy and cries a lot. I’ve been trying to exclusively breastfeed. The lactation consultant at the hospital said I did look like I’m making enough milk for her. She was latching on good at the hospital and now here at home, she doesn’t seem to want to latch at all. She’s been crying a lot and very fussy. I’m just wondering is she’s colic or like maybe she just doesn’t want the breast anymore?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
