I have only today tried her on the 1 teats because she’s been doing it so much x

So I'd try paced feeding first if you aren't already lovely.

How is her latch? Are both lips fully flanged and most of the teat in her mouth? Xx

maybe try going down a size see if that helps and also maybe burp her after every oz that may help with the sickness I had to do that with my son because he has reflux x

Hi hun I had this issue with my little one he was also left extremely constipated as well. I'm not sure if your little one is on breast milk or formula, but with my little one, I decided to swap formula and tried kendamil with a teat. 2. He was having trouble trying to suck on the teat 1, so he was essentially filling himself on air, and whatever milk he could get out, he threw up. Swapping the milk and the teats, though, seemed to help cause after that all the issues had stopped and he was a lot happier. Hope this somehow helped.

I will try that, thank you! Her latch is good and both lips are round it, it’s almost like she wants to drink loads but just doesn’t xx

I will try that, she’s so hard to get wind out of to see. I have tried infacol. But I find if I stop trying to wind her that’s when she’ll burp, she’s stubborn lol x

it’s always the same I used to tilt Kolbiee back and forth and stand up and he would burp,I know it sounds silly but it works lol 😂 x

Avatar

I’ll try anything at the moment, you want to see my movements on times that’s silly 😂 thanks so much for ur help! X

thank you so much! Not alot freaks me out being a first time mum but her choking on her bottles does :(! I will try all of this and hope it works. I use a prep machine which I am debating stopping because of the bubbles in the bottle and the more air xx

My little girl was exactly the same. We recently had an oral assessment done & she had a “perfect tongue tie”. We had it cut, her tongue function has improved with exercises & she’s now brilliant on the bottle. (She’s 7 weeks for reference & been bottle fed for 4 weeks) X

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

Crawling and walking

So my girl is 9 months now and shes great at sitting up and stays on her tummy for awhile but she seems to have no interest in trying to move or crawl or bum shuffle. Shes a big baby always has been but I'm disabled and I feel like it's my fault she's not hitting milestones I feel like there's something I'm not doing and it's making me a bad mum
