Bottles

Hey my lil one still drinks milk from his mam bottle in the mornings and evenings before bed around 200ml per time. Should I be stopping this? I dunno what to do cos I’ve tried other sippy cups etc but he just refuses outright 😫

We still use our Tommy tippee bottles in the morning and before bed 7oz in the morning and 4oz before bed I havnt really thought when to stop or change cups everyone is in such a rush for them to grow up that I don’t mind her comfort in having bottles it’s not like their meal replacements for us just part of a comforting routine

thank you for your reply! This put me at ease x
My lil ones been sick lately so he’s having one proper meal at breakfast and picking at fruit and other bits throughout the day so I feel like I’d rather he has his milk too and if that’s from bottle it’s fine for now x

My lg was really Ill a couple of weeks ago and she stopped eating so milk was her only fluid nutrition intake I’d rather her have a bottle than nothing. I had a meeting with the hv last month or so ago and she’d only worry about the milk intake if she was having a third in the day and waking up in the night for a bottle or 2 which she doesn’t she said ideally to not use bottles but that’s an opinion of hers

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!

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?

Any experience with different tears?

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!
