How many ounces of whole milk should our LOs be having in a day?

I’m wondering when to start decreasing the amount and weary of overloading with milk.

My December 2024 (so only a month older) is on two bottles a day, one in the morning and one at night and sometimes he doesn’t finish them. They are 160ml ish so 5.5fl oz. Then he has a water bottle all day and plenty of hydrating fruits.

Nappy Brand

When I went on maternity leave, I was gifted a nappy cake from a charity through my work. The nappies were out of their packet so I am unsure on their brand & want to know before using.

Does anyone know what brand these are? Added a picture for reference!

Early autism signs ?

My four month old is a beautiful little girl who we love dearly. At home she’s very smiley and has started to make giggly noises. But when we go out she becomes very serious and easily freaked out. She shows no interest in toys - preferring to watch our faces instead. I’m starting to worry it might be a sign of autism - too early really to tell I know. Or that she’s naturally very shy and antisocial- if she is of course then that’s absolutely fine. Me and her dad are very outgoing and I’d just be a bit sad if she doesn’t like being around lots of people.
Is four months still early to play with toys? She’s alert, feeds well, normal nappies etc, watches me and my dad intently when we’re moving round the room. She doesn’t laugh properly yet but makes noises like she might. Is this normal? Anyone else had a similar sounding baby that turned out a bubbly social child? Obviously I’ll love her no matter what but feel it’s good to prepare if she is more sensitive and possibly on the spectrum.

Thanks x

Unsafe baby wearing

Would you politely tell a lady at a play group she is unsafely wearing her baby in the carrier?


There is a lady at the play group I go to who has an older child and a small baby who she often wears in a carrier. The baby is far too low, their face smooshed into her jumper and the legs dangling incorrectly. I always want to say something, but I’m too afraid of upsetting her or it causing a row when I’m only trying to be considerate of the baby. She has lots of friends at this group she speaks to and I can’t help wonder why no one else has said something before, or if they have, she’s ignored it!!!???

Relactation

Has anyone started their breastfeeding/pumping journey again after a very long break of dry. I haven’t breastfed or pumped for 3 months and I’m thinking about restarting. I just pumped and got a small amount of colostrum out but I don’t know if I’ll ever get a supply back.

So you think babies are smarter with?

I had a first time dad say babies that's breastfed have a 3% iq higher than a baby that's being formula feed. I told him it don't matter if they are breastfeed or formula feed it depends on the parents if they are teaching them and sI ending time with them vs just putting them in front of a tv or tablets. He said I sound stupid.
