My little boy is 7 months, he still will only take 5-6oz and he’s not doing too great with weaning, he’s the complete opposite to my first, I wouldn’t worry they’ll soon tell you if they’re hungry 😊

yeh that’s same he doesn’t finish all the bottles but just feel like because we have been doing this for a good few weeks thought he would be wanting more but can only give him puree because he hasn’t got any teeth yet

We'e been on these bottles for nearly 2 months now if that makes you feel better! Babies gums are quite hard so you'd be able to do some soft finger food or things like porridge if you're comfortable with it 😊 x

My almost 7 month old twins have :
7.30am: 7oz bottle with 2 scoops of baby cerelac
10.30am: 5oz bottle and a brekkie fruit and oats pouch
1.30pm: lunch is 4oz bottle, a food pouch or jar, a fruit pouch (small) and a bit of finger fruit or veggie to chew on and help with textures
4.30pm: same as 1.30pm (but dinner)
7.30pm: 7oz bottle with two scoops of baby cerelac and they sleep with this one. They sleep through the night until 7am next morning.

Hope it helps x

They don’t have any teeth yet and they mashed the finger veggies and fruit fine with their gums x

hey, what is the cerelac for? I’ve not heard of it 😊

Avatar

It’s like baby cereal, makes the milk more nutritious and weights more on their belly so they feel full and satisfied for longer. That’s how mine started to sleep through the night 😊

You can also use it to prepare like a porridge if you mix it with less milk or water and give it for breakfast on its own or with some fruit

NHS do not recommend adding cereal to babies bottles but you do you hun x

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

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
