Unpopular opinions, I'll start

I do not think stopping breastfeeding despite your ability to do so is what is best for your baby. I can't help but feel disgusted by formula knowing what their companies have done and what they still continue to do, and I don't trust that stuff. I would only use it if it was my only choice to do so

me being severely depressed on the verge of being sectioned is also not what’s best for my baby🤷🏽‍♀️

Obviously breast milk is better for the baby, I think most people stop for valid reasons though including for their mental well being which in that case they could argue it's best for their baby too.

Real ballsy of u to state an unpopular opinion while hiding who u are as incognito.
I certainly disagree with ur unpopular opinion. I don’t think a motherhood app is the best place to leave unpopular opinions at abt motherhood. What’s best for the babies is when their mothers aren’t judged. Ppl are just trying to do their best. I have so many unpopular opinions bt I don’t think ts safe to air them out on a mom app. Because I realize that Some opinions can be damaging to some mothers. Mothers deserve support not opinions.
I also what to add that I too am guilty of saying or agreeing with some problematic shit so I’m not innocent either bt I’m learning & growing that some opinions are jus not helpful to anyone

We prefer formula over here 💁🏼‍♀️

Whilst breastfeeding encourages some women to bond with their baby, it had the opposite effects with me. I can’t explain why, but it did. Stopping breastfeeding was the best thing for both myself and my baby at the time. Then I had my second baby and the exact same thing happened. Just because women can breastfeed, it doesn’t mean they should.

unpopular opinion over here: moms shouldn't judge other moms, especially when we're all doing the best we can with what we have!!!!

Oh okay

Oh go away lol go watch a movie rather than trying to make mums feel bad. What a sad life!
Btw I also breastfed

Feeling so guilty

I think I’m going to have to switch over completely to formula, my breastmilk came through but it just didn’t seem enough for my baby, like yesterday he just wanted to be on the breast and didn’t seem satisfied, so I thought I’d pump and check, for 30 minutes I hardly got 30ml from both breasts. I feel so defeated because I’m hardly sleeping as I guess he just wasn’t full. So I’ve given him a bottle of formula yesterday and he slept for a good 2.5 hours rather than waking every 20 minutes. I feel guilty because I really didn’t want to lose that bond and I know a fed baby is best but I just can’t help feeling like I’ve failed. Please if there’s anyone with any advice on how I can get my milk back, I’m more than happy to try. Otherwise I guess it’s formula from now on

Transition to cows milk

Good morning,
My little girl just turned one, I feel confused on milk situation
She’s currently having 3 7oz bottles a day of formula
I was going to gradually cut down her formula and top up with cows milk but once she’s fully on cows milk should she still be having 3 bottles a day?
She eats so much food I don’t get why she still drinks so much milk 😂

Struggling to stay on my side while sleeping at 17 weeks pregnant

I'm 17 weeks pregnant and find myself waking up on my back every morning, no matter how I position my pillows to try and side sleep. Has anyone found any other tips or tricks that actually work to keep you on your side through the night?

Sleeping mystery

I don’t understand why my almost 7 months sleeps through the night but every single day around 6am she starts to moan, cry, grumble like something is bothering her (I checked everything diaper,hunger,temperature) I can see she still wants to sleep but is like she is unable to go back to sleep even if I tap her back or rock..
anyone had the same experience??
Btw she’s teething..

Thanks 🙏🏻

Night time nappies UK

My little boy has recently started sleeping a lot more on his front, so every night or morning he will wake up not only the nappy will be wet but his vest, pj's and sleeping bag too. He will usually wake up to be changed and have milk about 6 hours after going to bed. We have tried Aldi, Tesco, Asda & pampers and all had a similar problem I'm pretty sure it's not user error as it happens no matter who puts the nappy on and it has only been happening since he has been on his front most of the night. He is a size 4+/5, depending on the brand. I've even tried pull-ups, which seem to be better, but he is then wide awake and struggles to go back to sleep after.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated as there are only so many times I can wash the sleeping bags until there is nothing left 😂

Sorry it's super wordy

My daughter (nearly 9m) has woken up with crusts on her lashes and waterline.

She does have a cold. Is this normal?
