The only ones that have worked with my bf baby is the lansinoh teats!! I had bought a load of mam bottles while pregnant but thankfully the lansinoh teats fit perfectly on the mam bottles! Worth a try for sure 👌,

My baby boy is the exact same! He’s also 10 weeks now. Last time I gave him a bottle after not having it for a while was last week, he would just chomp on it first and then started drinking but didn’t finish all the milk. Since then I’ve been trying but he wouldn’t take it 😭 Now I regret not giving a bottle every single day, they forget so quick. I would say maybe see if your son takes the bottle from his Dad or anyone else? If he still doesn’t take the bottle then you could use a syringe to give milk?

Lansinoh x

Yeah as soon as we decide to give it a go it’ll be Lansinoh bottles I think! Any teats which are bulbous are highly unlikely to be taken

I had bottle refusal with my first. I'd try everything in this guide first https://llli.org/breastfeeding-info/bottles/
but if all the usual tips and tricks don't work this is what we used in the end (a bit of a slow process but it worked!) https://www.rachelobrienibclc.com/blog/what-to-do-when-your-breastfed-baby-wont-take-a-bottle-introducing-a-bottle-part-3/
Hope this helps! Xx

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😢💗

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

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 😂
