I give my daughter whole milk

Avatar

My baby is fully breastfeed, had my 1year nutritionist appointment and she recommended whole milk but to do it gradually. A mix between breast and whole milk, like weaning all over again but with milk.

Nido, Nestle, all that other sort of milk is not necessary, she said is full of stuff baby does not need. Just pure natural whole milk

Same here. I asked my pediatrician about toddler formula like Nido and she said there really isn't a need. They are whole milk based so you might as well just give them the whole milk directly. I actually picked up some organic milk today and my little one loved it. He's been majority breastfed and we only started combo feeding last month. His doc told me to either mix it with his breastmilk or just give him a small amount straight each day until his breastmilk and formula are all used up.

I gave my son nido. He liked it better because it was sweeter like breast milk. But it’s up to you. I personally liked it better and it was convenient when I was out and about because I could make it while I was out

is hard when you go out and your baby wants milk? do you take some in a cooler or replace it with milk

Infant milk is regulated but toddler milk has no regulations so it is recommended that toddlers switch to whole milk. Of course the choice is up to the parent.

when I go out I express and take a small cooler with me, I use the medela one. When I get home I will either use on her breakfast for pancakes or freeze it. And whoever has my baby either dady or my parents will have expressed frozen milk to give her.

Definitely whole milk as long as there’s no dairy allergy.

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣
