I’m going with cow and gate . Used it with my first no problems so happily using it again .
Wouldn’t let the recalls bother you , all formulas are recalled at some point for all sorts of things

Either way all formulas are practically the same anyway they legally have to be

I would recommend Kendamil. I am planning to breastfeed, but will take some ready made bottles to the hospital just in case. I also gave it to my other 2 kids after I ended breastfeeding and I find it to be the best formula on the market at the moment. 🤗

I used SMA little steps with my first but I’ve also been put off by the recall. I’m going to try kendamil but I’m also hoping to breastfeed. Just trying to be realistic as my milk supply was poor with my first.

Which ideaology do you wish would disappear?

1. Toys have genders
2. Breastfeeding past 1 year is just for the Mum
3. Boys don't cry
4. You can sleep train a newborn

Couldn't fit an option for all of them

Am I wrong for not covering up while breastfeeding in my own house?

I am a single mom who is breastfeeding. When I’m in public, yeah I cover up because that’s my personal preference. But when I am at home alone, I am just fully top exposed. No care in the world.

Well my soon to be ex husband came waltzing in unannounced. No heads up or nothing. (No he don’t live there anymore) as soon as he walks in, he sees me topless breastfeeding our new born son. As soon as he sees, he says, “wtf is wrong with you? I don’t wanna see that shit. Cover up!” I had no idea he was coming over. Otherwise I would’ve covered up. But yet again, it’s my house. You didn’t tell me you were coming through. So if you don’t like what you see, there’s the door. Am I wrong for not covering up while breastfeeding in my own house?

Changing diaper

I have a question.. do y’all change your babies diapers during nap time while being out? My baby fell asleep and needs a diaper change.. but he struggled to fall asleep and I feel so bad waking him up to change his diaper because I know he won’t fall back asleep

Hurts to have sex

I'm almost 6 weeks postpartum and have already gotten the okay from my obgyn to have sex again but me and my husband tried and it hurt really bad, I didn't start feeling or anything but it hurt to sit after as well (we did not continue when it started hurting) any advice? Me and my husband's sex drives are high and I miss being intimate with him but don't want to undo any healing I have accomplished

I’m grieving the mother-in-law I wish I had

Anyone with me?

I’m sad because I’m mourning the person I wish she was and wished we had a relationship.

We are no contact for the second and final time. I can’t help but think she’s missing out on her son and our first baby (never met our baby and don’t even know if she knows about her).

I just wished she was different and it could all be happy.

Health visitor

Does anyone know what health visitor does at home? I had my baby 17 days ago at 36 weeks via emergency c section. We have been to our midwife appts and now have health visitor on Wednesday. I’ve heard they are really judgemental and I’m petrified. I’ve been struggling with breastfeeding and I’m on a feeding plan as she’s dropped just below birthweight again.
I don’t want a judgy health visitor making me feel shit in my own home xx
