I need help please

Does anyone know why my 4 months old puts the dummy in ber mouth like this? She puts the bottom half of the dummy in her mouth. Does that mean we need bigger size?

Never seen that, but yes potentially, is she still on newborn size? X

Hi, no she’s not, she’s on 0-6months xx

Does the same brand also do three month+? and have you maybe tried a different brand just to see? X

Maybe try a different brand, if ifs the right size? X

She was on tommee tippee bottles but changed her to mam couple months ago due to bad colic & reflux but kept the tommee dummys
I think I will change them to mam x thank you🫶🏼

Probably teething also. My daughter puts hers in a weird way at times because of it

My son does this too

Maybe try a different shape on the outer plastic she might just not like the way its positioned on her lip/chin

Same with my 5month he would take it out then flip it and put it back to his mouth. I guess he just likes the hard part due to teething😂

Ohhh I didn’t think of that, it could actually be teething thank you everyone 🫶🏼 i will get her different dummys see if it changes anything x

How often are you breastfeeding after baby turned 1?

Health visitor said to reduce so it doesn't ruin appetite for food but just wondering how often others are doing it. Thanks x

Weaning

What bits has everyone bought to start weaning baby? Also does anyone have any weaning book recommendations?

Looking for advice/ support re triple feeding. I have a 3 month old little boy. I was keen from the start to breastfeed him but things didn't really go as planned. I had an emergency csection, and i guess milk came in later than expected. Initially it was all ok, he was gaining weight as per normal, didn't loose much after 5 days.
It all went downhill from the 6 week review i had with the gp as he dropped half centile and gp advised i top up after each feed.
I was then referred to the infant feeding support team and they advised i start pumping 8 to 12 times per day and top up... started doing that straight away..
After a few weeks with no changes, i went private and was told my LO has a posterior tongue tie and was recommended to see an osteopath. We had the division done a week ago, saw the osteopath twice... and still no changes.. i feel like he is having more and more from the bottle. I am doing paced feeding with the bottle and he did gain weight in the meantime.. which seems to indicate that the triple feeding is working but i am so so tired of pumping all the time... does anyone have any success stories with the triple feeding? Does it ever end? Desperate to just exclusively breastfeed my lovely little one

Wake windows

Is anyone else's baby having really random awake and nap times? I know wake windows aren't a science and I only use them as a rough guide but my daughter (15 weeks) was working towards a nice 4 nap schedule with 1.5-1.75 hours between naps, lately we've gone back to 5 naps most days (she is a chronic cat napper) but the last few days its been all over the place! Today she had 30 min, then an hour awake, then 45 minutes, 90 min awake, 45 minutes, 2 hours awake and has just gone back to sleep again now. Anyone else?

Wearable breast pump

Hi.
I'm reading a lot about how important to establish the milk supply. I really want to exclusively breastfeeding and I want to make sure I have enough milk, but I read the wearable breast pump can mess up the supply? It's not as simple as more you pump more you able to produce? Or I'm just think its that simple? What is your thoughts/ experience on this?
