MAM anti-colic bottles OR Dr Browns anti-colic bottles?

Mamas with babies who suffer with colic who have tried both MAM or Dr browns or both. Or heard of anyone using either that helps with symptoms?

Currently using MAM but may switch to Dr Browns 🤔 xx

I’ve been told loads of positives about dr browns so I’ve ordered 2 and going to pick them up for tonight - my little girl is 4 weeks and been on breast and expressed bottles using MAM but I feel like she’s very windy

She will fart loads - never known someone so little To trump so much haha … but she is a bugger for parting with burps xx

I have 2 coming tonight as well haha! Thought I’d try them and see before getting a set. My boy is 4 weeks too! He was on breast and formula but now just formula with MAM and I feel like they give him so much wind but trapped wind. He struggles to get it all out 🥲

Omg bless her!! He burps fine but doesn’t trump much! we can both try to browns tonight and feedback after a few feeds/days haha! Little experiment xx

honestly we will have to give our verdict 😂😂

She’s struggling terrible of a night - especially the leap she’s not wanting to sleep in the Moses basket or the next to me, then the wind is kicking her off - I’ve got gripe water so il the that and we’ve had her on infacol which helps a little .. 💀💀 it’s just a pain in the bum xx

omg bless her! He’s like that at night as well! The dummy relieves him though. Soothes him right down! Or he screams all day.

Our HV said use colief but that did bugger all! Then I saw on here and in boots Dentinox colic drops! And we have been using it for literally day and I’m already seeing a HUGE improvement so highly recommend it!! Xx

my partner actually bought the dentinox from Asda so I will try that on her tonight for sure

It’s just trial and error isn’t it - no one tells you what to do we’re just winging it 😂😂

She hates the dummy, sucks on it for all of 2 mins and when she knows there’s no milk she will spit it out hahaha x

Yes! It’s 6 times per day but it does help. I just put it in the bottle.

Haha yep trial and error, if you’re bottle feeding it’s more money but yep I think all parents wing it until they’re 18 🤣😂

Oh bless her! He likes it for some reason. He didn’t initially but now he does. People always have an opinion on giving a dummy but he’s happy so i don’t care haha xx

I’ve been using MAM and Tommee Tippee and my LO is very gassy on both. I’m going to try dr brown’s bottles next and hope then give him some relief 😮‍💨 bit disappointed with the MAM bottles - they weren’t cheap either 😱

tried the dr browns on this evening! Already see a difference! Even the sucking is so much more better! The teat is softer and very breast like. And he fed so much better on it. So far so good let’s see after more feeds! And yep the MAM ones we bought the large set 😳 so that’s money down the drain haha. Xx

Avatar

that’s exactly what he was doing!! Especially drinking quickly even on extra slow teat! And he was always choking. I tried dr browns this evening and omg the difference was insane! The sucking no choking no screaming, slow drinking. I couldn’t believe it: fingers crossed it stays! I only bought a couple to start to test then I will get a the set, Amazon are doing sets on good deals! I.e £100 set usually is now £75! X

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.

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.
