Aptamil pepti 1 and Carobel

Baby girl has been started on Aptamil pepti 1 due to a suspected milk allergy but it’s like water and makes her reflux worse! I am going to try carobel but not sure how much to use for 4oz… does anyone use this? She was on a 0 teat without the carobel and it was way too fast so thinking a 1 teat with half a scoop of carobel possibly? Also has anyone got good experiences with this milk because my anxiety is through the roof in case it makes her worse 😓

Hi my lo was on carobel and think I was giving him one scoop of carobel from what I can remember. He’s off it now though it gave him really funny poos and didn’t agree with him. Double check the pack as it should have instructions on how much to use but sure I only have one x

My LO was on Alimentum for milk and soy allergy. It also helped with occasional colic

We did a few weeks on this milk and it was good but she did get a build up and we changed about just over two weeks. We did try carobel as well but it didn’t agree with her so had to come off that. We started with less than one scoop and just judged the consistency it’s a bit of trial and error really xx

Thank you ladies. I did the first bottle with just over half a scoop and it was perfect. Really hoping she does ok on it. It’s tricky as sometimes the milk changes etc seem to do more harm until you find what is right and it gives me major mam guilt! 🤞🏻 xx

It’s half a scoop for Carobel and you might want to use a fast flow. We do with our son (5 weeks & 2 days old) & did with our daughter.

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 put your babies to bed?
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?

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

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?
