10 weeks old baby very fussy at feeds

My 10 week old baby is very fussy at feeds and its becoming impossible to feed him while he is awake, he cries a lot and sleeps being tired or we make him sleep and then dream feed.
Not sure if I am doing the right thing. Anybody else going through the same what are you guys doing in this scenario

I would assume it’s his 10 week growth spurt. My 10 week old slept almost all day yesterday and had a hard time taking is bottle, only wanted to breast feed. As always, if you have any doubts take him to the pediatrician.

What kind of bottles r u using? I have a 10 week old also.. we use Dr. Brown. my routine: every am I wash all her bottles (6) I prefill them all with the correct amount of water bc I have to fortify her formula for weight gain, anyways so I prefill all of them with water and I put one drop of gas drop in each bottle.. just a drop not the entire dose… that way when she’s hungry I just put the formula in and feed her.. this is my thoughts tho:
1. he could be getting really gassy and the gas build up in his chest or stomach is painful which causes him to b irritable. Make sure you’re burping every ounce or 2.
2. Check the nipple & make sure it’s slow flow or the flow for his age and it’s not going in too fast..
3. Try different styles of nipples maybe?? (Wide, skinny etc)
4. I would also make sure you’re using a bottle designed so they’re not getting air while drinking (we use Dr. Brown & love them)
5. Make sure the bottles are washed good & sterilize them.
6.keep him on schedule

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?

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

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?

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
