Switching formula

My babe is currently on Similac total 360 and we have to switch to Similac advanced because of wic. Has anyone had their baby on the 360 and switched to the other one ? I’m scared my boy is gonna have a bad reaction to it but i also read how similar those 2 formulas are…

Just get the total comfort instead of the advance

wic doesn’t cover the 360:(

@Nicole it's called the similac total comfort it's in the purple can

I’m currently switching from similac 360 to a different formula. If you’re able to, change it gradually. I’m doing days 1&2 75% similac/25% new formula in a bottle, days 3&4 50%/50%, days 5&6 25% similac/75% new, by day 7 totally switched over to the new formula.

i already gave him his first full bottle of the formula over an hour ago… I didn’t even think to that..

That works too! I tried cold turkey another time. He just had some gas for a day or so but other than that he was fine! Good luck!

he started SCREAMING after the bottle so i was a bit nervous but he took a nap and now he seems to be doing better! Thank you so much!!!

WIC should cover if you get a form from your doctor for the formula. I had to do that for similac neosure. I just had my doctor fax over the form and they fixed it same day for me.

Baby #2??

I really want baby number 2 and am thinking of doing it via IUI as a solo mama!
Has anyone had any experiences with it 👀

Tests

So I had a blood test at the drs bc I keep getting positive tests when the blood test was negative what could this mean? Hubby says the tests are negative and said he can’t see anything. Negative image down below.

I'm so not meant to be a mother.

My kids won't listen to me get into stuff when they know they aren't supposed to. Telling me no all the time. Only listen to their dad. Laughs when I correct them. I spend most of my time yelling at them because they don't want to listen to me at all. My husband said that I shouldn't have kids. And I am believing him on it. I was never meant to be a mother now. I won't hurt my kids I just want to disappear and make everyone else's lives better without me.

Am I pregnant?

I lightly spotted almost 5 days ago, which is not common for me before my period.
My period was supposed to come today. I should have tested in the morning but its 5:30pm.
Is there a second line??

Anyone have this happen before?

We were not trying to conceive, used protection and had sex on week 2 of my cycle (accidentally on my peak ovulation day). Week 3 we had Flu A. Week 4 my period did not come (it’s very regular). I tested and it was negative (2 different brands).
What should have been week 2 of my next cycle (now 6 weeks post last period), I had light red/ pink spotting for one day when I wiped. The following week, I tested again, still negative, but this time almost all the dye was in the negative space, which I’ve never seen happen before. The area where it shows one horizontal line for negative and a plus sign for positive, the horizontal line was super faded at the 3 minute mark, and the negative vertical line in the next window was VERY dark. Now I’m on week 8 of all this, period did not show up yesterday. Nothing in my life has changed (no additional stress, no other illness, no changes in diet or exercise, etc).

Has anyone gone through this and NOT been pregnant? I’m super nervous as we thought we were done having kids.

PS. I know I should go get a blood test, does anyone know if urgent care will do that? I’m past being convinced by a pee test.

Help pls

I'm 7 weeks pp. Not had sex or even done anything but my tests have come back positive. I wouldnt test but had symptoms of pregnancy so I tested. What does this mean? Google says it should have been negative at this stage unless its a new pregnancy or bits of placenta has been left behind. I had a c section so 🤷‍♀️
