Milk refusal

My LO is 8 months old. But is suddenly refusing her milk. She has always been bottle feed due to latch issues. So breast milk from a bottle worked best for us. But the past few days I’ve barely been able to get her to drink more than 2 or 3 ounces a feed. Whereas she would normally take 5 oz. But she’s nuts for real food. I’m she still needs the milk for development. I’ve checked nipple size, I’ve tried putting it in a cup, syringe, etc and she’s just straight up refusing milk. She’ll drink water but wants nothing to do with milk

My boy too, we've reduced every bottle to 5oz, but during the day he doesn't like to take bottles as much, so I'll make them 3 or 4oz bottles. He also prefers real food

tried that. When I do that she won’t take any milk

Put the mik in food is the best option I can give you so mash creamy sauces just anything the recipe calls for milk swap to yours wont be the full amount she is missing but will give her something. But maybe try just stretching the length between bottles as well .

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?
