She just doesn’t want to drink anything ? Try blending strawberries like into a puree add it in water to give it the flavor (not too much tho) just enough for the flavor see if she will drink that. Or any other fruits she’s into.

I’ve tried her with juice and everything it just gets pushed out her mouth

Bottle or straw cup?
Pushed out or spitting out? They find it funny to “drool “ liquid out

Babies use a tongue thrusting pattern to drink from nipples and bottles so when they start switching to solids and straws, they have to unlearn that. It's normal to push things out of their mouth at first while they're learning. I don't have advice, only pointing out that she may be pushing it out due to the learning curve and not a dislike of it.

You can offe foods that Hydrate like watermelon.

Is she teething? Try something cold

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? 🥲😭

Discipline?

My son is 20 months and was jumping on the bed today and I was telling him we sit down on the bed because we don’t want to get a coco.(cut) he just kept laughing and doing it. I grabbed his hand and sat him down. How does everyone tell their child no without saying no? Because if I said no he just would say no jump and still do it. Also my bf would talk to him in a serious tone right away listens I do it and nothing and I’m the one with him 24/7 so if anyone has any advice on what to do and how I can better my methods because I don’t want him to be one of those kids that no one wants to be around 😅

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 ?
