Puramino shortage

Is anyone else struggling to get Puramino formula? It’s out of stock in every pharmacy and the supplier told them it’s out of stock. We’ve got about 6 tins that’ll last about a week and a half but what will happen when we run out and if it’s still out of stock? Has anyone been through this before?

Ring round all the pharmacies you can get to and see if anyone's able to order it and then get a new prescription issued from the GP to take into the pharmacy that can get it x

You need to get an alternative prescribed. Pureamino isn't going to be available for a while I've heard. We have been given SMA alfamino in the meantime. If you save a few tins of pureamino you can do half and half to get baby used to the taste before fully transitioning over xxx

thank you but I think there’s a nationwide shortage as it’s out of stock everywhere and none of the pharmacies can order it in 😩 x

what a nightmare 😩 my baby has been on it for 5 months, I hope he’ll take to the alternative. Was your baby ok with the transition? Xx

Oh no! I know when nutramigen went out of stock the normal village pharmacy we use couldn't get it but the next village over had an over stock of it so we were able to get it so wondered if it was the same case for you. I did check their website last night and nothing came up about it xx

that happened to us when he used to be on Aptamil Pepti and we were able to get it from a different pharmacy. Thank you for checking. I’ve seen a few posts on Facebook too saying it isn’t going to be available for a while. It makes me panic and wonder if there’s anything wrong with it and been using it all these months 😩 xx

It's likely what happened to normal nutramigen one tin out of an entire batch was wrong so they've recalled the whole thing and a couple batches made either side of it to make sure nothing bad happens. I think with normal nutramigen (as it's the same company) it lasted about a month before it was all back to normal, worst case it may be wise to swap to another amino one if possible or just keep calling around and see if anyone can get some in xxx

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
