How much milk is your 9 month old drinking?

Mine has gone down from 4 bottles a day, 40 oz a day (doctor approved) to 20-24oz 2-3 bottles a day. Today, I gave him one bottle in the morning and one in the evening. He also had two meal times. How is your little one doing?

My baby is having her milk twice a day about 180ml , also two to three meals and snacks , depending on a day she have more or less milk

Mine has 3 bottles and 3 meals a day with some snacks added in between. Eating very well ❤️

Went to the HV yesterday and she said at 9 months they can drop down to about 14/15oz ... If they drop below 18oz they need additional vitamins and should be on 3 meals a day 🙂

My lb is still on 3 bottles but he doesn't always take all of his lunch time one but I've tried not giving it and he got really aggy

2 8oz bottles in the day, a 9oz bottle for bed and 3 meals plus the odd snack

3 7oz bottles doesn’t always finish them and a 5oz bottle at 11pm, pre weaning he was having 7 5oz bottles a day

My daughter is 10m and drinks 4-5 bottles a day about 6-8oz a bottle.

2 meals , couple snacks. 3 9oz bottles

really? My HV told me 20oz and I've been worrying about her not reaching it

But maybe it's because it's breast milk 🤔

it surprised me too. She just told me if it drops below 500ml to add multi-vitamins but he's not ready to drop the bottle yet anyway.

They don’t need multivitamins necessarily if they’re having nutritious meals according to our GP. Vitamin D has been encouraged by all my HVs although GP didn’t say it was necessary. I give vit D to be on the safe side cause babies of colour need more of it. We are on max 15 oz a day of formula (formula) and HV/GP are not concerned so I wouldn’t worry

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?
