Bottles 1year old

Is anyone else struggling with getting their 1yr old off using their normal milk bottle? My little boy has a full on melt down and refuses to drink his milk in any other bottle than his baby bottle. Or he’ll take a glug of the milk in the bottle we are trying to change it too and just spits out everywhere. We’ve tried using the tomme tippee bottles, sippy cup and straw cup. The mam toddler bottle & a 360 cup.

Bit lost on how I’m supposed to get him off using these bottles with the way the last 3 weeks have gone😬😬

I think my daughter pretty much still used hers well into the age of 1. I wouldn’t stress if he wants it. My friends say the same. X

My HV said to just put her milk into sippy cups etc but my daughter is 1 and I don’t plan on teaching her to drink milk from a sippy cup until she is older as she still has a bedtime bottle x

We kept adding more water and less milk until the bottle was just water. He still wanted the bottle for another 3 weeks once it was just water and then one day he just stopped wanting it. That was around 15 months.

Also as a side — we don’t need milk as humans (I know controversial 😳) so if he seriously won’t take it any other way don’t stress about it to much. Offer him other high fat dairy products instead. (Think yogurt and cheese).

You could also try an open cup. My son (19 months) has always preferred an open cup over any other cup with a lid.

My toddler had her mam bottle at night until she was 17m, at that point we just said if you want milk it’s in a cup and she just didn’t want milk for a while few weeks later she started wanting milk in a beaker so don’t stress too much. Will do the same this time

Saw another post about rear facing vs forward facing and was just amazed at responses….

The fear mongering around forward facing is incredible… rear facing obviously is preferable but people talk about it as if the alternative is negligent.
Rear-facing being safest often gets interpreted emotionally as “forward-facing is unsafe.” And they just are not the same thing.

I’ve got 3 kids and have done both for different reasons… Living in 2026, forward facing seats are continuously designed to be safer each year. Just wanted to put it out there as we often feel like we aren’t doing enough or are constantly scrutinised as mothers anyway. Do what’s best for your child, you aren’t a bad parent.

5 months pp, still don’t want sex…

I’m 5 months postpartum and it’s still painful to have sex. I had a C Section, so the scar still feels weird and uncomfortable being touched down there. Has anyone else gone through this? Is it normal or should I be worried?

Dr Google says my body could still be in shock from having a baby and it’s stopping me from enjoying anything.

Bath too hot?

I feel horrible, my baby is 4 months old and she usually likes her baths. And I’m usually good at reading the temperature before I put her in, but this time I feel like I wasn’t. She was ok initially but then all of a sudden as I was cleaning her hair she because fussy and her face changed. Then she because upset and wanted to move out of her bath seat. So I quickly picked her up as the crying got worse and her skin was hot. I then laid her on her mat to soothe her and let her cool down. She is ok now and back to her smiley self but I feel horrible knowing I put her in and it was too hot for her!!! ☹️☹️☹️

I cannot be the only mum heading to bed right after I put my toddler down????

I'm a SAHM with a 15 month old. She naps a total of 1 hour during the day. Still on 2 naps. I'm EXHAUSTED by 7.30pm when she goes to bed. She is up at 6am so I literally find myself crawling into bed the moment I've got her down. Sometimes I scroll for an hour. But sometimes I'm going straight to sleep.

Anyone with me???

My LO will be 18 months in a few weeks and still has not said their first word, they babble but thats as far as it gets. They know waving, high fives, points and kisses but they dont always do it. Its hard to get their attention by name. Im getting worried does anyone have advice or similar with their child?

Little one cries when my husband holds him

Our son is just over 5 weeks old, and for the past 2–3 weeks he cries almost every time my husband holds him. The only position he seems comfortable in is the “football” hold, but he won’t nap that way.

It’s becoming really stressful for both of us. I feel like I can’t properly nap, get ready, or let my husband settle him during the night without him crying, and I know it’s upsetting for my husband too. What makes it harder is that our son is happy and naps being held by other family members.

Is this something other parents have experienced, and does anyone have any advice or solutions that helped?
