Has anyone skipped bottles?

So done with EBF baby won’t take a bottle, been trying over 2 months and still a no go! Breastfeeding ruining my mental health now and just feel trapped. Has anyone introduce cup feeding at 5.5months? I don’t know how it would work at night feeds etc. any help would be greatly appreciated!

Which all bottles have you tried? I had a similar issue but Dr Brown's bottles work for my baby. You could explore tube feeding though I've not tried that myself so not sure. I was suggested that by a lactation consultant when I was having a similar issue.

Yayy great work! Try a few different teats (size 2,3 etc) to see which one she likes best

Baby peeing a lot

Is it normal for an almost 11 week old baby to soak through nappy, bodysuit and sleepsuit several times a day?

Baby carrier

Recommendations for a baby carrier? I’ve tried a fair few with my previous babies but never really found them comfortable! I’m due in 6 weeks time, looking for something to make school runs with 4 little ones a little easier 🫣🤣

When you moved out and started your own family did you realise how toxic your own family was?

A rant because I probs need a therapist lol. I went away with my parents at the weekend with my kids and it gave me so much stress. They argue over everything, my mum rolls her eyes and doesn’t engage in any conversation with my dad. I was telling my pre schooler off for being dangerous and they started telling me off infront of her. My daughter cried because I didn’t do her hair a certain way and my mum infront of her said it’s heartbreaking to watch. Completely undermined me🤦🏼‍♀️

I’ve realised how nasty my mum can be and make comments about other people. My friend was walking through a car park the other day when I was waiting and she said ‘she needs a better bra’ I said that’s my friend that’s rude. She then got angry at me for calling her out.

As a kid they would constantly threaten divorce and bring us kids into their arguments. Now me and my brothers are total hot heads and we all seem so angry all the time😂

I’m so OVER it. I don’t have many other family so it’s very confusing on my brain.
