My baby girl drinks 6oz every 4 hours but she only has 4 sometimes 5 bottles a day because she sleeps from 9pm- 6/7am

4oz every 2.5-3 hours. He’s tried 5oz but he ends up spitting a lot up. Very rarely do night feeds anymore. He’s also got reflux x

She’s 11 weeks Thursday and is on 5oz (but doesn’t always finish it) every 2 ish hours but she’s currently sleeping through the night and is a baby on the bigger side

7oz every 3 hours, rarely wakes for a bottle in the night now, but he’s 14 weeks now and allowed to not wake for a feed in the night because he’s a good weight x

5-6oz every 2-3 hours but doesn’t always finish, but like today she had 12oz in the space of 3 hours so it just depends x

Our baby has reflux too we give him 5 oz every 3-4 hours sometimes he drinks it all sometimes he doesn’t sometimes he brings some of it up! We just follow what he wants to be honest but always offer 5 oz. A lot of the time he will drink half then have the rest 45 mins- hour after works better that way for his reflux

4-5 oz every 3 hours and a night feed ! 😅

5-6 oz every 2.5 to 3 hours and has around 6 bottles a day but sleeps from 8.30pm to 6.30 am and her last feed is at 10pm!

10 weeks old and Combi fed but in total around 6-7 oz about every 3-4 hours and sleeping about 7-8 hours through the night (starting in moses basket ending up in bed)

I originally got told I was underfeeding which is why I went from EBF to triple/combi feeding. The most important thing to me is that he seems satisfied and is gaining weight (he lost quite a bit after birth so its always on my mind) if he has some spit up in just clean it up and move on. You know your baby better than anyone, trust your instincts, give them love and you cant go too far wrong ❤️

When should I give my little one Calpol before or after?

The doctors have told me to give it to him before and other people have told me to give it to him straight after as it could hide some of the symptoms.

Bedtime

I think someone posted something similar here recently - but I'm curious what time your babies are going to bed for the night ?

My girls bedtime is all over the place at the moment and can range anywhere from 6pm to 8:30!

Normal?

Hey guys I need help with knowing if this is normal.

My first born son was the easiest baby ever. Rarely cried at all!
My second born cries about everything. His diaper changes are traumatic because he won’t let you do it and the only way to get a diaper done is to pin him down (we’ve given him our phone, toys, chewies, sang to him, silly faces, played with him- he will not let a diaper change happen at all and just screams)
He won’t let us wipe his hands after mealtime he screams and flales.

You can’t distract him once he works himself up.

At the beginning I was like “this is normal” but now he’s 10.5 months and still screams every diaper change and hand wipe

Is this normal?

Leaving toddler for dad

Does anyone else leave their toddler in the morning for their dad? Like I can hear her shouting (not crying) but I wait for him to wake up to go get her out of bed.

The reason I do it is because if I were to go and get her, he wouldn’t get up, like I mean would stay in bed for an another hour or two whilst I’ve already been up and started the house work. Also, during the week when we have work and she has the childminder, I’m always the one to get up, sort myself out, the house and the dog out, then get her up and ready, then he gets up 10 minutes before he has to leave and does nothing.

So am I wrong for leaving my her in the mornings sometimes on our days off? Cuz he’s making me feel as though I’m wrong for doing it.

Would also like to point out our daughter never wakes up before 7:30 (except childminder days), most days she doesn’t get up until 8:30/9.
