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

Make sure you try your baby with it first. We got Kendamil and he hated it, pulled a face and would not drink it. For the flight back we had sma (which was in hold luggage on way out) and he drank that.

What changing bags is everyone using for their little ones? Especially those formula feeding!

I’ve got the one that came with his travel system, but I’m fancying a new one — looking for something stylish but practical! I’d love to see what everyone else is using! 🤍

Fed up

My 16 month old is only waking twice a night but for both those time she is suckling on me for 40 minutes and then I can’t transfer her to the cot so I’m in there for nearly an hour and then have to end up getting my husband to come in when she’s asleep enough to pass her to him, within 10/15 minutes of being in there he gets her down

I know two wake ups isn’t bad but being in there for so long is killing me and then because I’m so awake after that it’s really hard to get back to sleep.

The only answer is to stop the nursing back to sleep but she cries so much I can’t handle it, a few minutes feels like a life time 😩 I feel so trapped and fed up this is so so hard. I can deal with multiple wakes if she goes back down easily but this is torture
I wouldn’t even mind co sleeping but our bed is way too high and our mattress is very soft so it’s not safe and whenever we’ve tried anyway she just gets wide awake and thinks it’s play time 🤦🏻‍♀️

Moving to own room

Have we put our babies in their own rooms yet?? I know it’s recommended around 6 months but I don’t feel ready yet. Can someone educate me on why we are supposed to do it at this age??

Breast milk

Hi guys, so just want to check see if anyone’s had the same thing happen so I’m not going mad. I breastfed my baby for about 12 weeks then stopped my supply gradually. Anyway fast forward 2 months, it would appear I’ve got breastmilk all of sudden leaking this morning, is this normal?😂😩
