Kendamil x)

We used cow and gate, when I needed to leave the baby with my MIL (due to unfortunate circumstances) and he seemed to have no issues at all. But it's ok to drink whilst BF (unless you plan to have a lot!) https://www.breastfeedingnetwork.org.uk/factsheet/alcohol/

I’m an ebf mam too. I’ve had no problems with cow and gate number 1.
The first is easier to digest and the infant is more high in iron etc making it better for weaning baby’s.
Also Amazon sells the dipsticks to check if your milk has and alcohol content left in it so you know when it’s safe again. The first drink takes 2 hours to get in to your system and after that for every 1 unit of alcohol you consume it takes 1 hour for it to go. It’s the same as your blood supply. I used to think it was pump and dump but it’s not x

I combi fed with sma until it got recalled 😅 then went onto kendamil

Ebf bottle refusal

I want to introduce a bottle so my partner and mum can feed baby every so often but she hates it! Have tried breast milk and formula and am using mam bottles. She also isn’t a fan of dummies. Goal is to give her formula as I hate pumping!

First time using Milton cold water sterliser…

When the 15 mins is up do you just take them out and put them straight back together?
I know it says you can leave them in the solution until use but I don’t want to do that as I have 8 bottles to sterilise and can only fit some at a time.
I have mam bottles but my microwave isn’t tall enough to fit the bigger ones in it to sterilise them🤣 didn’t have this issue with my son as previous microwave was taller🤣

bottle

anybody else’s 4 month old hold their bottle?

Nursery settle sessions

Anyone started their settle in sessions? Was our second session today scheduled for two hours. Dropped my boy and returned after after 1 hour 45 minutes. The nursery worker, bless her, was rocking him to sleep. They said the baby was crying for 1.5 hours. Not gonna lie that worries me a lot! How are your little ones doing? Have they settled smoothly? FTM here and a very anxious one
