Feeds

Hello, just looking for some advice! My little one is 15 weeks today, he tends to have x5 feeds in a 24 hour period, consisting of 6oz. His last feed is usually 11.30pm and he sleeps through until around 7.30am, in which we feed him. However, the past few days, he hasn’t had much interest in his morning bottle, and it’s a bit of a task to even get him to drink 4oz. I was wondering if it could be worth upping his day feeds slightly, to get rid of the 11.30pm feed, meaning his last one would be around 8pm, and he is still getting his daily cal intake?

Hope this makes sense 🤣

Any advice would be fab! X

If ur baby is having enough wet and dirty nappies then ur good. Honestly dont worry about him not having "the right amount" for his age. One day my son will have 7 oz 5 or 6 times a day but then somedays he will struggle to even have 4 .
I mean my son is on the bigger side and was born on his due date so i dont worry aslong as he is having wet nappies and he is gaining weight

Hes 12 weeks btw

My 16 week old is pretty similar, 5 x 7oz bottles, the last one usually 10/11pm, she wakes up around 7:30 but is usually just very smiley, wants you to talk to her and drinks quite slowly, I’ve started just letting her wake up a bit and feed her at 8am and find that’s better for her xxx

I've always gone off how much milk in total they should be having in a day. As mines 12wks but some days she will have less than others but she's happy and dirty nappies. She rarely shows hunger cues so I just go off when she last fed and would only be 3oz lucky to get 4oz but if I don't give that 10pm feed she will wake up at 4am wanting a feed
I personally wouldn't change it if its working for you. If you're worried you could Google it on how much you need to have in a day for the weight of your baby as for myself its between 580ml/730ml a day (20oz/25oz)

Bed

When did everyone upgrade to a big bed from a cot?

Baby rice

Hiya ladies
My little boy Benjamin is 9weeks old and already in 3-6 months clothes, he’s having 7oz of hungry baby milk every two hours however he does sleep 9pm to 6-6.30am (9 hours) every night
How early did you start giving your baby rice in the morning, I feel Benjamin needs just needs that little extra

Morning wake up time

My 10 month old used to wake up at 6:30am or 10 minutes before but last couple weeks it’s been 6am. His bedtime is 7pm now used to be 6:30pm. Is anyone else in the same boat? And when will he start sleeping past 6am? He has 2 naps 1 hour each, sometimes less.
Total sleep is 10-11 hours in 24 hours?

I’m really struggling in the mornings. Is anyone else in the same boat as us? Is this normal? What do I need to tweak to get him to sleep past 6am? 🥲😭

Is it bad???

That I’m one and done? I feel so guilty to not give my daughter another sibling but she is a hard baby and newborn stage was so awful for me and struggled really bad with PPD.

Also not support from family members either so it just me and husband

Thoughts?

Pumping

Hi! If I’m pumping in place of feeding will my supply go down, so at night my one month old settles so much better having a bottle then going back to sleep rather than breast feeding for a hour plus and crying on the boob etc
So last night I pumped for 20 mins instead of breast feeding and gave her a bottle and it was better and a more settled night but I still feel like I want to breast feed even if it means tiredness and tears, then the second feed my hubby can give a bottle then I’ll pump

What do you guys think? She’s coming up 5 weeks and past few weeks have been stressful with latching as fussiness and I’ve cried a lot but I still want to breast feed Which I will do In the day but at night Is it ok for me to miss one and pump instead ?

Struggling with mom guilt

Sorry for the long paragraph.. My 7 month baby is not sitting unaided or has any interest in rolling. Totally hates tummy time. She is delayed in these motor milestones and I don’t know if its because I have done something wrong. She is exclusively breastfed, and hardly showing any interest in solids. I feel like a terrible mom when I see other babies doing a lot more than mine, I know I should not be comparing but its just giving me mom guilt and a feeling that I may have done something wrong. Don’t know what to do.
