I still am but only a couple times a day.

You can stop whenever you're ready. 18 months is incredible! If you just need to give yourself permission then know that you've done great!

Start by dropping one feed, wait a couple days to be sure that your body adjusts before dropping another feed. Replace the dropped feeds by offering milk, water, or hydrating snacks to help baby adjust to the new normal.

My baby comfort nurses is a lot and taking it away from him right now when he's teething just feels mean, I'm planning on waiting until he starts to lose interest a little bit. I am making him eat solids in the morning though first even if it's just a banana.

I'm still breastfeeding and plan to for as long as we are both happy about it, for us that will likely be a few more years.

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 😂
