Am I measuring bottles wrong 🤔

Health visitor has asked me to track how much milk my 5m old has in a day due to weight/CMPA
When I make a 6oz bottle, I measure out 6oz water, then I add the formula powder. Once it’s all mixed in (and the bubbles have gone down) the measurement then looks more like 7oz as obviously the formula adds volume. So if she has the full bottle do I count this as 6 or 7oz as there was 6oz of water but formula takes measurement up to 7?

I count it as 6 but I’m not sure what the correct answer is if I’m honest x

I’ve always recorded the same way. Even though the volume goes up it’s still 6oz of water and 6 scoops of formula x

My daughter (3yo) just woke up terrified at 4:30am...

She got out of bed screaming, me and my partner went in her room and she was terrified saying something was in her bed. I looked and she peed her bed so I assumed it was just that. She refused to get back in bed she was literally shaking she was so scared... I brought her in my room and she did the same thing when I tried to put the blanket on... She won't let me put her down at all... I had to ask my partner to call off work because I also have an 8mo...she keeps saying it's a wormy and wormy bit her on the leg. Theres no bite, I thought maybe a snake got in but I dont see anything in her room... She is just so scared and I don't know what to do... Everytime I out her on my bed she creeks out... And even when we hold her occasionally she still freaks out saying the wormy is back... I don't know what scare dher but it scared her good...

When to stop Co-sleep

My baby is currently 7weeks old and I don't know when to start training her to sleep on her own. I love sleeping with her and she sleeps so good with me or my husband but I know at some point she needs to be in her crib. When did you guys start putting your babies to sleep on their own and what tips do you have to help a clingy baby sleep alone?

Contact Naps

When did your baby stop contact napping? My son is 21 weeks old and still only contact naps. He won’t go down for a nap at all. He sleeps in his next to me at bedtime but not during the day he wakes up straight away.

Was anyone else’s baby the same? What did you do to change it? I don’t mind the contact naps at all I love that he only sleeps on me. However I’m sick of not being able to get anything done during the day when I’m on my own.

Dripping milk

Very early postpartum - what do people do about dripping milk? I don't want to wear bras because of engorgement.
My shirts are constantly soaked. Currently just carrying around a towel underneath
