Several months, what helped was experimenting with different positions

I've started using mine again because she's getting so heavy

what about when your out ?

Avatar

She mainly feeds from me before nap/s abs bedtime . Sometimes during the day if she signs milk or is extra clingy/ cranky .

So when going out I have a pillow in the car - if I time it to her nap . I’ll feed her in the car then put in pram and walk ( round zoo ) till asleep . Or it’s feeding in car after swimming when her naps due .

She’s mainly on one nap days , so that’s helped . But I still take the pillow if I know I’m out all day and think she’ll need 2 naps . It’s just easier that way . I just find a quieter spot / good bench and feed her .

Tbh the only places we really go is the zoo and we’re there from like 9:15-2:30 . Most of the time she naps at home . My daughter doesn’t attend nursery and I’m not back at work currently.

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 😂
