High lipase

What do I do??? My baby refuses to take my frozen milk and I’m realizing I think it is because it has high lipase. How do I get around this??

Once I figured out the problem, I scalded mine before freezing and just made sure he got fresh milk that day too.
Unfortunately I couldn’t get him to drink the older stuff straight, but it was fine when I added it to smoothies when we got to that stage so we still used it up eventually

what do I do with the already frozen milk? I have about 1000 oz and I don’t want it to go to waste

I read if you mix it with some fresh milk it can help with the taste. You could also keep some for when weaning to add to food

will it make the food taste soapy too?

I’m not sure but worth a go

I tried mixing in fresh milk and adding alcohol free vanilla and my little guy wouldn’t take it, but when he got to about 9 months I started mixing it in (still frozen… he was fine with it if I didn’t heat it) to smoothies with whatever fruit and veggies we had on hand. I donated some, used it in baths and on cradle cap. I was determined to not waste it lol.

i’ve seen of moms sending their milk to be dehydrated through a company called “leche”! kinda spendy though i think. but i think it’s so sweet, they’ll turn it into powder that can either be pre portioned into little packages or in one tub like formula! :)

I mixed it with fresh breast milk, formula, and then cows milk after 12 months. I played around with the ratio until baby drank it. I had around 3000 ounces frozen and ended up using it all. Also, I noticed some frozen bags had a stronger taste. Newer frozen milk tasted smelled better.

I would mix mine with oatmeal cereal and it disguised the taste enough my baby would eat it. I also used it in baths

Is it cheating

My husband just told me that at work he and his male friends/coworkers pinch each others nipples as like a joke, I think it’s inappropriate and it’s cheating in a way and he does not agree he thinks it’s just funny and nothings wrong with it

Front sleeping

My baby is 9 months old and I was told a while back that the sleep should always start in there back, is this true and why?
My baby always wants to front sleep now and I’m fighting every night to get the sleep to start on his back or side

Too much pram time?

LO is 15 months old. He's not walking yet. We've always gone for 2 walks a day, for about 30-45 mins each. I've found this helps LO's mood and also my own mental health. It's occurring to me that perhaps this is too much "container" time. When we're home, I encourage loads of floor time and he enjoys pulling to stand and cruising on furniture. His only other "container" time is in his high chair 4 times a day for meals, and for about 10 mins at a time when I'm getting his food ready, unless someone else is there to watch him (our flat is small and not open plan).

Witching hour??

Pretty sure my 7 week old has a strict “lose all chill at 6pm” policy 😅

Evenings = crying, pacing, questioning my life choices 😂

Fed, burped, cuddled… still a bit of a mystery. Any tips from mums who survived this stage? How did you get through the evening chaos?!

Is nursery a bit out of line?

Today I learned that my son was “seen by someone” when picking him up. Apparently speech therapist saw him in the nursery to evaluate him and I only learned about it on pick up.

No warning, no even proper explanation of what triggered it. With one staff member saying “he is not speaking at all”, and another dismissing it and saying it’s completely normal.

And everyone seem to dismiss my shock as he is the most chatty happiest child at home.

So it triggers me that instead of finding a way to get him “open up” and make him feel secure so he starts speaking naturally. They now decided he needs to be “fixed” and probably push him into more anxiety with it. Without even consulting us.

Co sleeping to crib

Hi! My tiny girl is 6 months and we co sleep I do want her to sleep in her crib. I personally don’t like the “cry it out method” if it worked for you great! Just not my thing! any tips or tricks to start transitioning her to her crib? anything that helped? she does sleep through the night. I’ve been having her take her naps in the crib just to get her comfortable. I’ve seen weighted sleep sacks? has anyone tried? thank you in advance!
