Feeding

How often does an 3 month old eat? How many ounces? My son usually cries after he’s finished his 4 once bottles. Idk what that’s about . Could he still be hungry? He’s formula fed as well

If i remember correctly, my daughter ate about 5 oz every 3-4 hours. I would try 5 or 6 oz and see how he does.

Mine was only on 3 or 4 at that age but he wasn’t a great milk drinker at that age due to reflux so he would never drink that much at once. You could try upping the amount if he’s draining the bottle or it could be due to gas pain or even reflux x

My baby ate 3-4 oz aprox every two hrs during the day at that age and technically still about the same now and he is 4 months old. If he’s crying he may still be hungry does he give other hunger cues? - crying and not relaxing probably does mean he may still b hungry.

What these people said ^ every 2-3 hours and burping every couple oz to make sure it’s not gas you could try mylocon drops in the milk as well and if need be up the oz mine was drinking like 6 oz consistently because he was always hungry

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
