Milk substitution

Hello,
I ran out of funds and formula to feed my son. At this moment he drinks Enfamil Gentleease. Does anyone know what I can give him instead. Or can I give him regular cow milk. I know he will be hungry in the morning and I just wanna know what options I have. He is 8 months old.

I know that regular cow milk is not recommended until the age of 1. You can see if anyone in your mom group on Facebook, where you live and see if anyone would donate. You can ask if your local food bank, WIC, local community or pediatrician if they have any.

Look into if you have a pregnancy decision health center near you, they have formula to give from donations. Local food bank or WIC, marketplace, ask a family member or close friend or neighbor to help out

Your only
Option is formula. Please don’t substitute your 8 mo with regular milk. There’s resources for you to get formula. There’s Facebook groups to help fund you for formula etc. and wic

Health Visitor Home Visit

Hii, could anyone explain what the health visitor does on their home visit?

Also if anyone had a home birth, what the midwife home risk assessment involves?

I’ve got 3 home visits coming up in the next two weeks (health visitor, midwives and doula) and it’s making me nervous for some reason. I think having 3 just feels like a lot and a bit invasive if that makes sense!

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.

Fighting naps

Does anybody else feel like they spend all day trying to get baby to nap? I get tempted to give up as he must not be that tired but he is too cranky to play or do anything else!

Any experience with different teats?

Hey Mamas

So my little girl is exclusively breastfed but she wont even take FRESHLY PUMP milk from the bottle. I had a whole 4oz that was going to waste and baby girl was just massanging her gums and smiling lol :/
Ive tried adding extra holes with a needle, the ol' switcheroo (BF first then switch ti bottle) but she's very keen and notices straight away.
Im currently using Nuby and Tommee silicone bottles, and I would like to try more softer, boob-like teats.

Id ideally like her to take a bottle so Dad can give me a REAL break yknow.

Has anyone had this same experience? Any teats one would recommend?
Thank you in advance!

How are we entertaining our babies

What toys does everyone have for their 7 month old?
Nothing is satisfying my little girl she's got blocks, rattles, playmats loads more. She would much rather hold my hands and walk all day but I cant physically do that and whenever I put her down to play she just wont, is this just a faze?
