Bottle before bed

For those that do it do you warm your whole milk up? My son didn’t need it to be warm but he loved a straw cup. My gal is not into that idea atm and I’m worried she’ll get brain freeze and be put off entirely. Haha 🤪

My son is on oat milk as cows milk was not his friend on the transition but we do warm it up. Still using a normal baby bottle atm as he feeds perfectly on it but is very stop start with a straw cup so in my head, he wouldn’t finish it if he was only using a straw x

Yeah same. My son did but my son never had a bottle so I think that’s why he took to it differently. Dumb q but how do you warm it.

We do whole milk in a bottle, zap it in the microwave for a 1 minute and it’s lukewarm. Probably shouldn’t because of hotspots but I shake it and test it x

Yes I pop the bottle in the microwave for 30 seconds. He only have 6oz (using a regular tommee tippee baby bottle) I just shake it very well to disperse the hotness

Just put milk in the microwave for 10-20 sec and check it.

I just microwave for 30 seconds to take the cold edge off

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. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

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? 🥲

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
