introducing formula

Baby is 11 weeks and i wanted to introduce formula as my supply dips in the evening. However i tried giving him 2 different formulas and he absolutely refused. I also mixed 3/4 breastmilk and 1/4 formula and even though he drank it for a second, he pushed away the teat with his tongue. i tried multiple times after that and he absolutely was not having it. Any suggestions & tips ?

Could it be teat rejection or will he take a full bottle of breast milk? Just wondering if you could try a different brand of bottle, our baby is combi fed and if he has mam bottles he starts to reject the boob! We swapped to Phillips advent bottles and he takes to both no problem 😁

My baby is mainly breastfed but has 2 formula bottles at night (he has done this since birth though). We use Kendamil Organic. Apparently, the Kendamil Goat’s milk is most like breast milk so that might be worth trying x

mine was like this, i just kept giving him the formula everyday until he got used to it , he still doesnt like it but will tolerate it now

Any September 2025 babies crawling yet

My little one isn’t crawling yet but he loves tummy time

Did you know this was a thing?

Didn’t know this existed! I’m actually not breastfeeding 2nd time round (though wish I did) after a bad experience with my 1st baby. But this is something I 100% needed 1st time round.

Screeching baby

I have twin boys, 5months.

One is very quiet

The other... is like a pterodactyl who screeches when bored, tired, hungry, as soon as he wake up to be held etc...
This habit has only just started!

Has anyone else experienced this and how long did it last?
So far it has been about 5 days 😭😭😭😭

How do you dry your 🐱?

Looking to settle a debate with husband, he is teaching our girls to dry themselves after they shower, i am teaching them to dry to a certain point on the inside but not between

Circumcision, please help

I know it can be a really sensitive topic, but I feel really underinformed about whether I should choose to circumcise or not if we end up having a boy.
For context: we are very non-religious, but I worry about the stigma of being non-circumcised when he would start to get interested in dating, navigating cleaning it and the risk of infection especially as he gets older and navigating potty training at daycare and stuff. I also worry about the increased risk of penile cancer. But then I also hate the thought of making my baby go through a major surgery unnecessarily and would prefer for them to make the choice when they are older if they choose to get circumcised.

How did you make your choice? Does anyone regret their choice?

Joie Signature Parcel LX lightweight stroller

Has anyone got this stroller? Up until now we have used our mamas and papas ocarro and we love it. However we are going on holiday in June and looking at a lightweight stroller to take with us. I'm not bothered if it fits in overheard locker, I would rather have decent wheels on the stroller and this one does have slightly bigger wheels than most travel strollers we have seen. Has anyone used this stroller abroad or got any other recommendations? TIA x
