EBF at night only,

Hi mums ! Question, my 12 week old girl I'm breast feeding and then before bed time my husband gives her a bottle, it's been around 70-100mls every night but the last couple days it's been around 50 mls . She also hasn't pooped but I know that can be normal. I'm just worried she's not having enough

Keep an eye on her wet nappies if she's producing plenty of them thrn she's getting enough milk. Also keep a look out for hunger cues

We had this with my daughter we found that she didn’t poop when she wasn’t getting enough. We swapped breast milk for formula before bed and it make such a difference. She has EBM the rest of the time xx

I think there's a point they stop pooping overnight and just wee instead?

A lot of babies get constipated too which is normal look at which formula she is having my 9 week old is on hungry babies as normal formula or anti reflux wasn’t filling her up enough but again constipation can be a common problem in babies but can get lactose from your doctor and give small amount once/twice a month 1/2ml so there bowels don’t get reliant on it

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 😂
