Nutramigen LGG 1 vs LGG 2

We’ve just been told by our dietician that our little girl should’ve been swapped from Nutramigen LGG 1 to Nutramigen LGG 2 when she turned 6 months (she’s just over 7 months now), as we had a lot of other things going on in the appointment I completely forgot to go back to this point and ask what the actual difference is between the two? Has anyone else switched without an issue? We had months of difficulty getting her to accept Nutramigen LGG 1 and honestly it’s been hell with complete feed refusal at times, I just don’t want to have to go through all of that again for her or us! We already have so many concerns over her weight and low intake that I can’t help but worry this will be another negative step!

I personally don't think there's a need, as the second stage milk is follow on milk, which is just a gimmic for companies to be able to advertise formula! My girl is on Pepti 1 and i won't be switching her to 2, as from birth milks are perfectly fine until they're 1x

I know that about standard formula you can buy due to the rules around advertising etc but I didn’t think it would’ve applied to medical formula as surely advertising makes no difference as it’s prescription only? The dietician didn’t really ask me, she just said it should’ve happened already so she’s sent it straight over to the GP to change the prescription (which is why I thought there was an actual difference). I never would’ve switched her to a follow on milk had it been standard formula but she made it sound like it was for a medical reason 🤷🏻‍♀️ x

Sorry to jump on, just seen this and wanted to say that both of mine were on pepti 1 (prescription) and my friends LO was on same as yours and none of us changed to the next stage. Neither time has any doctor said that it needs to be done. I did ask what difference was and it to keep them more satisfied during weaning process- the first milk is their sole nutrition. So no harm in keeping on first stage milk x

the dietician has taken it out of my hands! I’d requested my usual prescription the day before and when I went to collect it they’d changed it to just 1 tin and then the rest of the prescription is LGG 2. I’ve had to take it otherwise we’d have had no milk for the weekend. I’ve read through the nutritional info and while there’s a tiny amount more of certain vitamins the only real difference I can see is there’s 4.5x more sugar in it!! I’m going to ring the GP on Monday xx

If yall still giving your kids processed food, pls seek help

I understand not everybody can afford healthy ingredients all the time, but I’m seeing so many moms on social media giving they kids artificial cereals, coffee, frozen pancakes, velveetta Mac and cheese, hot Cheetos, kraft, the list goes on. I’m sorry but are yall not capable of cooking from scratch or ?? On top of that, if you still using canola and vegetable oil in 2026 you gotta stop. Am I the only one that notices this ???

Sahm .. the dad role .

Hi!! I’m 2 months pp. and I really would like your opinion on this situation if you have a moment.
So I have always had a job before the baby, and my bd .. not really. But 2 weeks before he was born he scored a really good job and I was able to be a sahm. Which is what I wanted , and I’m unsure if it’s still what I want or if the situation just isn’t right.
At first he was a great help in the hospital as I had an emergency c section. I was in the hospital for about a week and for most of that time I was in bed .
But after that.. I’m lucky if he will watch the baby while I shower .and I mean that seriously.
I am the only one who changes diapers, only one who bathes , feeds or watched him in general. And of course he may be tired after work but it’s like he completely avoids any responsibility. Like he will take a hour coming home and stop by his friends house otw . He will sit down stairs for hours knowing I won’t go down there bc I’m uncomfy . So I have the baby then.
We have been out maybe 2-3 times sense I had him & he refused to push the stroller c change or anything. In fact we got to the mall and said he needed to split up and I had the baby.
I feel he only wants the baby when it’s for … attention? Like to post the baby on social media or if his family is here he will take him .

I just feel like on days he doesn’t have work the next morning he should be helping , and if he is up early before work while I’m still sleeping he should get the baby instead of scrolling on reels for 3 hours .

Honestly he has really ruined my new born phase with my son. Within the first week of us being home I had to full on switch to survival mode I would call it. He would complain if dinner wasn’t done or if the room was a mess , he would complain if the diaper caddy had no diapers which really makes no sense bc he didn’t even changed the diapers . It was just everything.
I’m just wondering if there is anything I could say to get some type of help out of him.
I tried reaching out to his mother but honestly his hole family is oblivious to his behaviour.

Nursery ideas

Guys I need help! This is going to be my daughter’s nursery and I want to make it cute. Help me find an aesthetic look or a good layout to place some furniture/cribs etc!!

Should I respect his wishes??

I’ve been a SAHM for 4 years now and my husband does a great job providing for our family and we never need for anything. With that i still had to sacrifice some wants like shopping when I want getting my hair and nails done regularly so when I can I try to supplement for my wants and savings by selling my craft items at vendor markets and recently I’ve started donating plasma. Which has been consistent income for me. $125 twice a week. Well my husband has expressed that he doesn’t like me donating plasma. He feels like it’s not worth it to put my body through those conditions for $125. He even went out to sell one of his guns today and gave me all the money and told me “I shouldn’t have to donate plasma no more”. That was so sweet but I disagree. I planned on continuing to donate plasma to save for my kids birthdays thats coming up, a trip we have planned and our anniversary. I don’t know what to do. I finally found something that pays something consistently and my husband is against it. What should I do?

Blw

Hi I am running out off ideas on what to make for Lil 14 month old for breakfast lunch and dinner if anyone have any resipes would be great to try my boy with them

AITA?

This isn't a major issue, just wondering if I'm being a bit of an asshole.

• I do shift work, 5 out of 7 days, full-time.
• My partner works from home (mostly, sometimes he goes into the office) M-F, full-time.

Anyway, whenever I have a day off during the week he gets in his feelings when I make myself food (breakfast and lunch) but not him. His reason is he's working, I'm not - Which is fair but I've asked him how many times on a weekend has he gotten up, on his day off and made me breakfast and a lunch to take with me to work? You guessed it, 0.

So basically, just because I'm at home I don't think the responsibility to feed him should automatically fall on me when he manages to feed himself just fine while I'm at work.
