Not taken bottle since been sick

My little one has been sick the last few days and is gone off her bottles I’d be lucky to get 10oz into her throughout the day. She will take her water and eat but not formula. I’d started her on vitamins to make sure she is getting what she needs. I’m wondering what I can do formula should she be taken more ? She is just gone 10 months old was never a big fan of her bottles from day one

I could’ve written this myself! I’m counting down the days where they no longer need formula!

me too it’s just been a nightmare with bottles with her even before she was sick the struggle to get the few oz into her she loves food but not a bottle baby at all.

My LG only just stopped being sick yday so atm she’s off bottles and meals!! So stressful isn’t it!

it’s so stressful Im worried she isn’t getting what she needs so I got her vitamins yesterday to add to her water. As for today I have tried two bottles and didn’t take any as of yet

Very stressful!! I am now taking my LG to the doctors as she’s not been right with a cough for a few weeks and puking last 3 days. Only managed 9oz today so far x

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Bedtime routine

I have a 12 week old and we struggle to get him to sleep in his next to me crib or Moses basket, so he sleeps in bed with us which means we’re struggling to have a bedtime routine as he won’t sleep till i go to bed with him.
Any suggestions please as he doesn’t sleep till around 11/12
