Kendamil formula

Hi Mama’s,

Is anyone’s baby super hungry all the time on Kendamil formula? My LG is 6 weeks on Thursday and she is constantly wanting milk. For example this evening, between 3-6:15 she’s had nearly 14oz milk. She is never full! And this isn’t a growth spurt as it’s been going on for over 2 weeks now. I’m at the end of my tether now! The amount I’m feeding her is getting ridiculous! I’m contacting the HV tomorrow because I don’t think this is normal. Just wanted to see if anyone else has the same issues with this formula? And if so, what can I change her to?

I don’t have this problem! Not sure if that’s really any help? My little boy was 6 weeks yesterday and he has about 4oz every 3 hours 😊

How many oz in 24 hours are they having? x

@Sarah atleast 34-36oz daily! She guzzles non stop in the evening and in the mornings. Less in the afternoon because she sleeps a lot and around 8oz between 10-4/5am

I combi feed with expressed breast milk and kendamil and my little one who is 5 weeks has 37oz a day, I thought mine was the only one who ate like that!

you are not alone. 🤣. I get really stressed with the amount she’s having. My HV is coming Friday but I’m going to contact them tomorrow! I appreciate babies grow but myfirst born was premature and weighed 4lb 8oz and even she didn’t guzzle like this. My newest LG was born 39 weeks and 9lb 1oz! I know babies are different but I do think her milk intake is quite excessive

My little girl is 5 weeks today and does this most evenings also. She has done for a good few weeks now. It's their way of stocking up before bed/cluster feeding the same as breastfed baby's and is nothing to worry about. Just make a bigger bottle on the evenings

Thanks I spoke to a HV and she said because she does it every morning and every evening she’s stockpiling. Last night she went 5 hours without a feed after a 5oz bottle. Little miss is just so demanding.

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.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

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.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

How long did it take for your child’s circumcision to heal and you could give him a bath?

I’ve just been wiping him down with a fiber wash cloth but I just wanted to know from others experience on how long it took

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....
