Mode of feeding

Trying to BF my second baby (I wasn’t able to with my first), but finding it so hard!
I feel like I don’t have enough milk , so giving some formula to top up about once or twice a day!
Wanted to see how common EBF and combo feeding is amongst mamas .

Do you

Be aware of the top up trap, if you're topping up after every feed, you're not telling your body that more milk is needed, so it won't produce any more than it is currently.

If you feel like you don't have enough milk, I would speak to a feeding support worker who can go through some pointers with you and help you have confidence in your supply and ability to feed your baby.

True low supply is actually very rare, and in the early days normal feeding behaviour can be mistaken for not having enough milk.

Standing???

Anyone else’s 7 month old standing up and trying to take steps??? My son can fully stand without support and is now trying to take steps. I feel like it’s too early?…

Excuse the mess, I’m doing a late night deep clean and he’s doing the opposite of helping 😂

Deodorant

Ladies what deodorant are we all using?

Since the sun has finally remembered to exist and we've been going on more walks I STINK. I smell like I've been laying on the beach in the sun covered in oil all day. All just after going for a walk.

I know a lot of people struggle with this postpartum but it's so embarrassing!

I just can't seem to find one that works for me?

Help!?!

Sleeping 5 months

My baby is 5 months today, his been a wake up once a night for milk since 3 months old. Very luckily i know. For the last couple of days we are having lots of waking up but his moan crying( not crying crying) if that makes sense. If we give him a cuddle he will happily be straight asleep in seconds.

Have we hit the 4 month sleep regression late?
Anyone else in this phase?
We are also teething could it be this?
Help and suggestions please

Thank you in advance

Regression

Is anyone else struggling? I haven’t slept in days. She’s gone from sleeping 9-10 hour stretches to up every hour. I’m so exhausted. I suffer from anxiety and I need sleep otherwise it triggers me and I have panic attacks. How long will it last? I’m soothing, giving a dummy, I put her down awake but drowsy, she’ll drop off for an hour max. I’m trying so hard to not show my panic as I know it’ll rub off on her but I genuinely cannot take this anymore.. how long is this going to last? Is it up to 6 weeks? Even a longer stretch for the first sleep will do me but I can’t even get that.. she’ll only contact nap in the day so I can’t even get a nap in then. Please help me

Waking baby up for their last feed?

Hi guys. So my baby was due in October but born in September, he is now 6 months old. It's nearly 11:45 and hes still asleep, I'm not sure whether to wake him for his night feed or let him sleep? He does usually wake himself up but think he may be getting full? Any help is appreciated 😊
