This post makes me feel better!! She has 2x 7/8oz bottles and I was worried she wasn't getting enough.

Gaaahd. My little one is still having 8oz, 6oz, 4oz, 8oz plus 3 meals and snacks…considering dropping the 4oz bottle.

Do your little ones sleep through? X

6 7 bottles still. He’s refusing solids a lot and eating very less due to teethings. What am I doing wrong

Avatar

My twins girls are on 4 7oz bottles a day plus 2 meals and then snacks and they sleep all the way through xx

Avatar

yes he has slept through since 6weeks old lol.
He use to have 4x 8oz bottles a day (8am,12pm,5pm & 10pm) we dropped the 12pm bottle around 8ish months and replaced with lunch.
Then stopped the 5pm bottle only about 6 weeks ago when my oldest started reception and replaced it with dinner so we could all eat together.
He then reduced the milk down himself to 5oz.
He has 3 meals & no snacks & water to drink throughout the day

every baby is different. I have the benefit of my sister having a little girl 3 weeks younger than my little boy so I’ve tried to stop comparing because they are night and day babies!!

I’m considering dropping his 4oz/3pm feed because I’ve noticed he’s eating less of his evening meal than he does at breakfast or lunch so I figured he must be full from his milk feed? Maybe try reducing one of his feeds and increasing the solids that would usually happen around that bottle and see what happens? X

My LG is having 3 bottles a day of 6oz. Sometimes if she wakes up during the night and I see ahe needs a little top up I give her either 4 or 6oz.
She used to sleep straight through but now due to teething and 10month regression she wakes up once and needs us to remove her and co-sleep.

Avatar

yes I would try that. Reduce one bottle and you will see his appetite will grow. x

It is recommended to give 25 oz in 24 hours

can’t force them to drink milk if they don’t want it 🤷🏼‍♀️

3 x 7oz bottles a day, but she was born small so was told to

Avatar

Avatar

3 6oz bottles and 3 meals and occasionally a snack in the afternoon (also offer water throughout the day and meal times (sleeps through most of the time unless poorly or teething bad) x

Avatar

3x 7oz bottles x

Avatar

3 bottles 5oz. Has never taken more than 5oz so she always wakes up at night crying hasn’t slept through a single night 🥲 I’ve accepted it now it is what it is. Hoping that time comes soon when she just sleeps through. But yeah she also has 3 meals x

I had a HV appt recently and she said she should be having atleast 14/15 oz within 24 hours

Avatar

my daughters the same. She’s preferring milk over food she’s 1 in just over 3 weeks and I’m stressing 🙈 she’s got CMPA and her milk is getting stopped on her 1st birthday I’m worried she’ll not get enough🙈

Those of you who are on just two bottles a day, which bottle did you drop first? I think we're almost ready to drop a bottle but don't know whether to drop the morning pre nap bottle or the mid afternoon bottle first.....

Avatar

2x7oz a day. Morning and night. She has only recently dropped the bottle in the day just refuses it so happened naturally.

Avatar

we dropped the midday bottle as he has a good dinner. So we now just have a morning bottle and an even bottle before bed

Avatar

thank you for this. I'd be interested to know what time do you tend to do the morning bottle and then what time is breakfast?

Avatar

10 oz 3 times a day with 3 meals a day

Avatar

3 x 7oz bottles

Avatar

3-4 6oz a day but using a 360 cup or munchkin sippy cup. We stopped bottles a month ago ☺️

Avatar

our routine roughly looks like this..although he depends what time he wakes up in the morning.

6:30/7am - wake up
7:30am - bottle
8:30 - breakfast
10am - 11am - nap
12:00 - snacks
13:00 - dinner
14:30-16:00 - nap
17:00 - bottle
18:00 - tea / supper
19:00 - bedtime, usually sleeps through

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.

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.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Vaccination advice

I’m really looking for advice and opinions on vaccines for my baby. I’m not against getting them but also just don’t feel like I know enough about them to make a decision just yet as I’ve had people say to me they don’t agree with them and they can cause issues etc… so I just want as much info as possible. What are everyone’s thoughts and experiences of vaccinating your child? I’m just interested to see everybody’s views (no judgement as I just want to know I’m doing the right thing) thank you x
