Formula feeds and storing (also gas drops advice)

With formula can you make a batch in her bottles and store it in the fridge for up to 24 hours, but once it's out the fridge to use that formula within 2 hours ? Or do you just make it from scratch each time. We have a nuby rapidcool which has helped, however it has a reset of 3 hours, so if she's snacking in the meantime it's hard to do.

She also has bad hiccups about an hour after her feed so we feed and burp, she seems settled then an hour later she's hiccuping and this then aggravates her (understandably). You can also see during her feed, her stretching out and trying to move presumably to move gas etc. We do burp in-between the feed to help this and then keep her upright for a minimum of 15 minutes to help. But was wondering if the gas drops will help especially at night?

I pre make the bottles and put them in the fridge and then warm them up in the microwave and then use within 2 hours. My little boy usually finishes most of the bottle in one sitting but if he doesn’t I just make sure to use it within 2 hours. I was using infacol at one point and they did help for a bit but he’s now got a bit of reflux and infacol isn’t suitable for reflux babies from what I’ve read. There are other ones like dentinox and colief you could try but I haven’t tried any of them as of yet.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Crying during feeding

Hey mams! My girl is 6 weeks on Monday and is having so much trouble with feeding. It doesn’t happen every feed but more often than not she will start a bottle and just start crying as if she’s in pain and she can’t take the milk. I think it’s trapped wind but I genuinely don’t know what to do it’s so pitiful to see her not be able to feed! She’s formula fed and on HiPP Organic.
Anyone else been in this position? I’m pretty sure it’s just a bit of trapped wind that she needs to fart out but can’t! If anyone has any advice I’d be very grateful as I think I may need to tape my eyelids open soon 😂

No more naps! 10 month old

For a few days now my 10m old has fought her 2 daily naps. Normally her wake windows were 3-4 hours and she is now eventually napping after a 6 hour wake window. Today was only one nap, she skipped the second one. Used to nap like clockwork so I’m wondering if anyone else is experiencing this? Also very unsettled most nights and doesn’t sleep well at all
