Not interested in pre bed time feed

My little girl is now on 3 meals a day, breastfed first and last feed with 2-3 4-5oz bottles throughout the day. She has recently really not seemed interested in the final breastfeed of the day, it is fairly close to finishing dinner but wasn’t sure if anyone else has experienced this? I’ve only recently transitioned from EBF so still working out how many bottles etc!

Is there enough time between feeds? My October baby has 3 bottles and three meals and there must be a minimum of two hours between feeds of any kind but 3-4 or even 5 is better! Baby has dinner at 5/5:30 goes to bed at 7ish and will wake up for that last bottle between 8-9. You may have to either make bedtime later (if you can my daughter was going to bed at 8:30 with a bottle at 8 with dinner at the same time at this age) or do a dream feed.

Thank you both! I think the nighttime one probably is too close to dinner.. she has dinner at 6 and is usually having last feed not long after 7 then asleep 7:30 but she actually has quite a long time between lunch and dinner so I could probably bring dinner earlier like you have. I think my post was a bit confusing as she has 2-3 bottles of 4-5 ounces rather than 4-5 bottles. I think I’m generally just worried she’s not drinking enough milk too since transitioning to formula.

my babies were bottle fed from the beginning and have 3 8oz bottles so to me 5 oz is barely anything BUT breastfed babies tend to drink less soo if she recently transitioned it will take time just try for 16oz (the bare minimum) to 24oz (a more general minimum) per 24 hours. I think my daughter averaged 21-24oz at this age my son is always bang on 24oz. But as long as she isn’t dehydrated I wouldn’t worry about it as she is having 3 meals.

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.

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?

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😢💗

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.
