How many oz of milk/food are your little ones having daily.

My boy was down to 9oz in the morning and 9oz for bed. He has 3 meals a day and 1 or 2 small snacks throughout the day. He’s a great eater but never been great for his milk. (He had CMPA and hated the formula).

Anyways, past few weeks we’ve slowly transitioned him from his formula onto oat milk while doing the milk ladder and suddenly for his morning and bedtime bottle he’s crying when it ends. I give him more but he’s now having around 12/13oz in the morning and night. Hes a tall boy for his age already and I’m not concerned about his weight at all. But, I was just wondering if this was normal for him to be suddenly wanting more milk when he’s almost 1. (I’m not used to him enjoying his bottle 🥹).

I’m not in any rush to get him off milk as he’s not even 1 yet. Has anyone else found their little ones are doing this?

Yes since my baby was poorly a couple weeks ago he's back upto 3 8oz bottles again and he went right off his daytime bottle before! He's also on 3 meals, i haven't started snacks though... just out of interest what snacks do you give?🤣

ahhh really! I was wondering if he was having another growth spurt too because he loves his grub when he’s going through his spurts🤣 I give him loads of different things! He loves raisins but obviously I keep a close eye on him. He has fruit, yoghurt, organix biscuits/oat bars from Aldi xx

Maybe! I was thinking maybe they have a growth spurt now ready for when it all slows down a bit when they hit 1🤞🤣

Maybe there’s less calories in the oat milk so he is hungrier, where formula is pretty calorie dense?

They have a growth spurt around now so I’d say it’s normal!!!

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.

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?

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.
