Breastfeeding and nursery

Exclusively breastfeeding mums, when your baby went to nursery at 10 months, how many oz's per bottle and how many bottles did you find you needed for a whole day vs half day at nursery?

My baby starts next week for half days to begin with but she has exclusively breastfed on demand up to this point

My LO has been in nursery since he was 8 months old, he's refused milk there but I keep bringin it just in case. I've split my milk in 50-60ml bags each so they only have to defrost a bit each time but he's only taken sips or maybe half on a rare day.
He was fine with the occasional bottle before but we only ever gave him 5-6 bottles? And he's refused them both at home and nursery since. They've tried sippy cups and not found much difference.
All to say, freeze your milk in smallish amounts to start with and increase it if she takes the bottles.
I was (and still am) breastfeeding on demand, he usually has a big feed after nursery and sometimes compensates at nigh so we have to cosleep so I can get some sleep some/most nights.

I hope your little one does better and she takes the bottle but if not, don't panic! All will be ok x

My little one I pump for (she's not at nursery) and she has 5 100ml bottles in a full day with 3 meals if that helps at all 😅

Baby sleeps with his head turned mostly to one side ?

Little one is 4 months and I’ve noticed he has a favourite side to turn his head and it’s very slightly flatter than the other side due to him always facing that way, even when he’s awake he faces one way. He can turn his head both ways but even when carrying him he always looks left. I’ve even tried switching his position in the crib but he still prefers one side. and When he’s sleeping I gently move his head to the centre so he’s looking straight but he moves it back to one side after a while. He does suck his thumb on one hand so I guess it could be to do with that? I just don’t want him to have a wonky head or face bless him, has anyone had this ?
I might go to the GP

Wet clothes

When my 5mo rolls to his front in the night , we find all his clothing soaking wet in the morning. Amy other boy mums find this? Any tips?

mum guilt

am i the only one that doesn’t suffer from mum guilt when going out or staying away from baby for long periods of time?

i dont even feel it about starting work again at the end of next month

my boy is 10 months old.

18 months and started asking up during the night..

My son is 18 months coming up this month and he’s been in a bit of a routine for a while now. Still takes time going to sleep on a night etc but he’s started waking up crying 1/2 times but screaming.. if I bring him into bed he goes back to sleep so he can’t be up and he’s done with his sleep? But can’t also leave him screaming at 2am or 4am what could it be? He’s not hungry as if he’s hungry it’s a different cry I know it and he wouldn’t go back to sleep at all

When did yall transition from a crib to a bed??

How do you babies sleep?

Is this normal for a 6.5 month old.

Asleep for 7:00-8:00
Awake at 11:00 (Dummy and Rocked)
Awake at 2:00 for a Bottle.
Awake at 5:30.

He can also sometimes awake at 3 for Dummy and Rocked.

I feel like I am getting no quality sleep!
