Hungry baby milk

Thinking about switching my little one’s milk over to hungry baby milk.. we currently use the Aldi mamia milk which is great but she’s going through a tub every 5 days (she’s 8weeks old) the tub says babies her age should be having 5 bottles in a 24hr period… my little one currently gets 5oz every 3 hours and her bottle before bed is a 6oz… she’s still waking during the night every 4 hours for a feed aswell.

Has anyone else had experience with this? I’m exhausted and beginning to feel a bit drained

Hey mama I am board certified in infant & toddler. So I just did some research because I've never personally heard of mamia formula, however Aldi has discontinued this formula. They are currently selling out of what they have.

Target up & up formula is comparable in price, if cost is an issue you could also apply for WIC which covers all formula types if needed. If there's no allergy, try a different formula- if this is because your LO is hungry often & that's why you're trying mamia I'm sorry lol 😅 looks like they won't be returning to shelves & id presume there's an investigation to why internally.

Have you considered 6oz every 3 hours day time to see if this may help her not be so hungry? But also.. infants will need an overnight feeding up into 3 or 4 months typically, sometimes even up to 5mo of age (that's more dependent on environmental factors like preterm birth etc)

My last idea is checking the nipple size, if its taking baby 15 to 20 min I'd try to get down to 10 min.

I tried hungry baby milk with my first but it really messed with his tummy, made him really constipated and in pain also.
With my second I didn’t bother and the health visitor said they don’t like hungry baby because of how thick it is etc and does usually cause problems xx

Also a tub every 5 days sounds about right. My son used to go through them every 4 days x

Would it bother you? Hubby never finishes.

So my husband doesn't finish. Not for birth control but he just doesn't finish, he says he can go a really long time before actually finishing. He can finish as we have a child together.

It's never bothered me enough to cause serious problems in our relationship. Sometimes I wonder if I'm good enough in bed? He says he just gets tired. I've only ever been with two guys, my ex and hubby and my ex never had an issue with it. Hubby says he likes it and we have a healthy sex life as in we have sex regularly.

Just wondered if it would bother you or am I overthinking it?

Anyone know when the newborn insert can be removed from this seat? The booklet is absolutely useless.

Seat previously used for my son but he was over one when it was purchased so newborn insert was never used.

No kissing

Those of you who didn't let anyone kiss your babies, when did you start to let them?

I've had a no kissing rule since my LG was born, which was fine at the start but there have been a few incidents lately where her grandparents have kissed her where we have had to say something. One of these incidents she ended up in hospital with bronchiolitis and the other grandparent suffers from cold sores so I'm uncomfortable with her ever kissing my LG if I'm honest.

I just want to protect her but my partner thinks there needs to be a cut off point where we say it's ok.

Can’t hold a conversation with my 2.5 year old

He only started really speaking a few months ago and while I know he knows a lot of things, follows instructions so well, I still can’t have a conversation with him.

At most I’ll get a couple words stung together and almost always they are just words I have said and he is repeating them back.

I try to ask him about his day or what we just did and he’ll just repeat it back. He even does it with strangers when they have said hi guys, he’ll repeat it back to them or say hi followed his own name and he’ll do this with us too.

I really thought once he started speaking that we can finally talk, but it’s just him repeating and not really responding

What time do you put your baby to bed?

My baby is 6 months and her bedtime is 5:30-6pm whenever I look online it says this is too early but she gets so tired and cranky and wakes up early if it’s any later. Would love know what time is everyone else’s bedtime?
