Quitting the paci

Anyone still giving their kiddo the paci or know how to get them off it? Mines still using hers all the time. We try to just use it for sleep and diaper changes but she wants it all the time now and it’s messing up her teeth. I’ve asked friends about their older kid and I’ve heard cutting the paci doesn’t work, you have to do it cold turkey, or they just grow out of it. I’ve heard about “buying” a toy with all the pacis at the store so they give it up for something else but she obviously too young to understand the concept of purchasing something.

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🤣

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

Best ready mixed formula for an EBF 6 months old bubba. We are going on holiday and mamma needs a drink 💃🏼

Also the difference between first and infant milk?

Nap routines

Do you guys have a strict nap routine? Up to this point I’ve been following babies cues more than anything but today he had a really long third nap so I’m currently having to try to stretch the last wake window until bedtime (last time I offered a short catnap and woke him up, her was absolutely furious and bedtime was a nightmare 😬)

He’s normally up around 6am (awake a bit earlier but I wait until he’s fussing just incase he settles), was on an average of 4 naps and bedtime at 7pm.

Today he woke from his nap at 3:20pm and I don’t think I can delay bedtime any later than 6:30 🫣

Just wondering if a stricter routine would help maybe 🤷🏼‍♀️
