It took 2 weeks to see any change and within 4 weeks my baby literally never spit up and started sleeping so good :)

My GP said it takes about 10-14 days for milk protein to completely leave your breast milk but it will drop significantly in the first 24-48 hours.

I saw some improvements within the first week but really I would say that I saw a significant change after week 2. Baby was much happier and within a month all symptoms had disappeared. I believe it can take a while as their stomach needs to recover and can take time to adjust.

The NHS has lots of information on how to get your daily dose of calcium with replacement foods. I was very lucky that my local GP referred me to a dietitian who gave me a list of foods and their quantities that I could eat in order to get my 1250mg daily calcium. I would try and get this through your diet before taking a supplement. If you can’t then I would seek advice through your GP who can recommend an appropriate dose for you to take.

It can take 6-8 weeks for all of the inflammation to calm down and every symptoms resolve.

For me I saw almost immediate improvement with the rash my daughter had. Within three days her rash was completely gone. For the reflux to improve it took closer to 3-4 weeks before I saw improvement and around 6-8 weeks before she was completely better.

Social services

I have been referred to social services due to a cancelled abortion clinic appt as they were worried about emotional abuse/coercive control. I have another toddler already. Feeling very stressed and anxious. Has anyone had this experience themselves or have any experience of social services assessment? They advised they will be visiting me.

4m sleep regression

My daughter is 16 weeks old now and prior to about 2 weeks ago she used to be such a good sleeper at night. One maybe 2 wakes at most and she slept through the night a handful of times!

Since she hit 14 weeks, everything changed 😅 she wakes up constantly all night, 5-10 times a night.. I’m exhausted! I think the 4 month sleep regression came a little early for us ?

We’re 2 weeks into it now with no sign of it getting any better, how long can I expect this to go on for? Will she ever be a good sleeper again? 😫

Triple Feeding 🙃 Nipple Shield Weaning ? Any success stories !??

Hi everyone. My baby girl was born on 25th September at 34 weeks (she was 5lb 5oz) and we spent a couple weeks in hospital afterwards. Initially for the first 7 days she was tube fed and we were discharged triple feeding, so I breastfeed (have only had success with a nipple shield 🙃) then I top up with 45ml breastmilk afterwards and then pump. This is not sustainable long term but I guess I'm just looking for any success stories from doing this?!? I don't really know what to do, she doesn't transfer milk very well whilst breastfeeding as every feed takes a good half hour per breast (if I manage to get her to latch) and then she needs the top up after. It all feels a bit pointless using the nipple shield but she is completely reliant, has anyone managed to wean their little one off? I went to a breastfeeding clinic locally and found it a bit stressful so don't really want to go back (I just had a lady trying to shove my boob in her mouth for 20 mins without a shield whilst she screamed hysterically). I don't really know what to do and just feel like I need some reassurance to bin it all off and transition to formula maybe? Or shall I wait it out??

She will be 4 weeks on Friday and is now 5lb 14oz (up from 5lb 5oz).

Sending hugs to all you September mums 😄 xxxx
