Any combi feeding mums using mam bottles?

If so what teat number are you using please... I'm still breastfeeding but not sure if to use the 0 or number 2 as it says teat 2 is for 2 months plus?

I do, and I use size 1 teat. We kept her on size 0 for as long as possible to replicate breast (especially as I have slow flow and low supply) and she’s been fine. We’ve only just increased it to size 1 as she was getting fussy

We’re still on size 0, haven’t bothered to change as he’s still happy drinking from it!

2, I forgot about 0 teats so we started on 1 😂 still totally happy breastfeeding.

If you’re still breastfeeding (and not exclusively pumping) I would stick to 1.

we bought 1’s. 0 seemed to slow, they got fussy but 2 was pouring milk out the corners of their mouth 🙈

We moved on to a 1 when she started fussing but after a couple of days off, she’s back down to a 0 as it’s like she’s forgotten how to drink a bottle 😂

We are mainly breastfeeding how wee is he gets a bottle of expressed milk from his dad we are still using the 0 as he is not having any issues with them

Expressed milk here and been using size 2 for a good few weeks. He’s 15 weeks now

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

My little one is struggling with sleep

Hey! I'm in need of some advice please girls! My little boy is 20 months turns 21 months in 2 half weeks. He use to sleep through the night now he is waking up every single night in the early morning, I've had to transition him to a toodler bed as he kept climbing out his cot. Just need some advice on what I can do to help him get back in to a sleep pattern?

5.30am wakeups 😫😴

My 15 week old has started waking up about 5.30am and is really hard to settle back down - it’s like he thinks it’s time to wake up for the day. He used to go to bed at 9pm and was up at 8am but now he goes to bed between 7.30-8pm as he’s knackered by then but waking up at 5.30am😴. Any advice to get him to sleep a little longer in the morning?! Even an extra hour would be lovely 🤣

6 month old autistism

My 6 month old makes no eye contact with me and doesn’t respond when I call him. Can this just be a phase or personality trait as apposed to autism
