I didn't stop night feeds until 2 with my first and it was a tricky transition but I remember the Emma Pickett Makes Milk podcast being helpful - starting right back at episode 1 and 4

I EBF for 7 months and then switched to combi feeding, so I now BF during the day and formula feed during the night. I did this because my baby’s sleep is so awful and I was utterly exhausted from being up bf, settling 6 times a night and then looking after my toddler during the day. Now that I’m formula feeding overnight my partner helps too with overnight feeds and it’s a lifesaver. It was hard to start with but LO got used to it gradually after lots of upset.

I just refused to bf her and eventually she got the message and drank from the bottle. It was a hard couple of nights with lots of crying (from us both haha) but after night two she was fine and took a bottle like a champ. Might not be the way you want to do it but I was so exhausted I didn’t see any other way

Binky after 6+ months?

So my son has recently turned 6 months and a week or so. I wanted to know what you guys are doing binky wise? Are you weening or ? Because I have only been letting or giving him his when he cry’s super bad having a hard time sleeping or if he grabs it himself. Doing it this way I have noticed him slowly put the binky down himself but maybe I’m moving too early?

ER visit

Took my 4 year old last night to the Er with a ear infection. They asked her two questions “Donyou feel safe at home ? She reply no . Does any one hurt you she reply big bubba .

Okay ladies this is not true . Her and her big bubba wrestle and play fight . And I honestly don’t think she understood the first question . I’m freaking out and wondering if I will get CPS on me

3 month baby lost most of her hair?

Hey all - my 3 month old has lost almost all her hair 😢 she looks like Groundskeeper Willy right now. She has a bit of cradle cap, but the hair lost is a ring around her head. Is this expected? She was my little ginger haired girl 🥺

Unbelievable

My MIL told my husband that I should be breastfeeding(nursing) and that pumping is not the right way to feed my baby….
Anyone else thinks that’s wild??

Maternity bralettes

Hi ladies, I’m looking for recommendations for natural material (cotton, bamboo, etc) padded bralettes.

I’m a 23 weeks pregnant with a very small chest but wide back. I’ve always been blessed that I can wear bralettes and looking for some that I can wear now and for breastfeeding that have some padding so my nips don’t show 😅 I’m also very aware that my boobs should be getting bigger later on so a bit unsure about sizing if anyone has any advice. Thanks ❤️

Kendamil issues

Hey, has anyone had issues with the brand Kendamil. We used Kendamil classic first and baby was having the worst digestive upset after stopping breast milk and exclusively formula feeding. She’s straining, going red in the face, grunting a lot and farting lots. She also takes days to poop! We switched to Kendamil goat formula and it’s made no difference.
