We used Aptamil for my son. He was very colicky and asked if we should change formulas. The consultant said they are all the same apparently and it makes no difference.

Kendamil can be really rich for babies tummies. My first we started on Aptamil but he had colic really badly and we changed to cow and gate comfort which was a lot thicker milk and worked a dream for him (that and gripe water was a game changer). We’re going to try cow and gate first time around. It’s one of the oldest in ones around and I just think there must be a reason for it. Again these are all my personal thoughts. I wouldn’t buy into follow on milk though, that’s marketing and it’s the reason it can be on offers etc but ‘normal’ baby first milk can’t be. X

I used aptamil with my first and she was SO colicky, so might try something else this time x

My son didn't care whether he had SMA, Aptamil or Kendamil (or whatever we got for him on holiday, he had formula in Finland Spain and Portugal too 🤣). We used the ready made bottles and the Aptamil one smelled gross, that's all I have to say negatively about any of the formulas! None of them were better or worse for his tummy we found. Kendamil just tends to be the hardest one to source so if you find yourself to be reliant on it it's a good idea to use their subscription service not hope to get it at your local supermarket.

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?
