Night feeding

Hello, my twins are about 14 months old and I still have to feed them at night few times.. we feed one twin around 7pm, 9pm , 12am, 3am and second one around 7pm (half bottle), 9pm (finish his bottle, then around 2 or 3 am.. it’s too much.. dr said they are doing okay weight wise and it’s okay to wean them but my family (hubby and mother in law) is obsessed with their weight and feed them on demand but then they don’t eat breakfast… I prepare their breakfast every morning before work and they only eat little bit.. I need help! One of them sleeps in my mother in law room and one sleep in ours and we alternate every week.. please help me.. I think it’s time for them to stop nightfeeding and I need to wean them off of bottles

I'm sorry mama I'm not sure how you should go about it, but when my babes were 11m I started slowly transitioning to whole milk, 11.5m got up to 3 meals and 2 snacks a day, and by their birthday they were completely weaned from bottles and onto sippys, and they get 8oz at Nap time and 8oz at bed time, they sometimes wake maybe once around 6-7am, drink 4 more oz and sleep for a couple more hours. Once I transitioned to 3 meals, 2 snacks, and 20oz of whole milk a day, they flipped a switch and started sleeping through the night and eating solids like Champs!! Thats gonna be tough with your sleeping situation. Transitioning them to their cribs in their own nursery at 6m was soooo beneficial in getting our night time routine down pat. I'm sorry mama good luck!

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
