Night feeds

Is anyone else’s little one still refusing to drop a night feed?
I’ve been really trying to reduce her bottles and up her food intake during the day but no matter what I do I can’t drop the last bottle in the night. She wakes up anywhere between 3 and 5am and will not go back to sleep until she’s downed her bottle! Very occasionally she sometimes needs a 2nd bottle in the night too😭
I don’t really have a problem with doing the feed, I just feel like everyone is telling me she no longer needs it!

Yes!!! My little girl still loves a bottle or 2 in the night. Shes never slept through.
I’ve tried weaning her. I’ve given up now. She’ll drop them when she’s ready.
I’m sure she won’t be 5 and still waking for a bottle 🩷

she eats really well in the day no food wise! I’ve just recently dropped her afternoon bottle as I’m trying to approach dropping bottles altogether! She currently just has one at bedtime and one in the night (making sure she gets lots of milk/calcium in other ways). I usually get up a couple times in the night when she gets upset to pop a dummy in and she goes straight back to sleep, but when she wakes up around 3-5 she won’t go back to sleep with the dummy, just moans! When I eventually give in and feed her she downs the bottle and is straight back to sleep for the rest of the night! Xx

makes me feel less alone that someone’s in the same boat! That’s it, I feel like she still needs it as she drinks it all and immediately settles after, but the HV told me she doesn’t need it now and my mum constantly tells me she doesn’t need it and to just give her a bottle of water 😂🤦🏼‍♀️

Honestly you do what’s best for you. If it settles her and means you both get a good nights sleep then what’s the harm. My little girl has bad eczema and my health visitor said if that’s the only thing that’s going to help her get back to sleep then keep giving it to her. I don’t think it’s anything to stress about ☺️

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?
