Hardly any milk today

He’s only had 10oz today and last had milk at 12.30, he just pushes it away and wouldn’t even take his bed time one. Feeling stressed 😬 just worried incase he’s going to get dehydrated, he’s only had an ounce of water too ☹️

Could be teething? My daughter is an August baby and she's doing the same with her milk 😔

I’m the same lately but he’s been cutting some teeth and I know it’s normal as they start to get hungrier for more and more food and less milk. I’d still offer it and increase the food (they get water from some foods too or you can add formula or water to foods and mix), keep an eye on it and if overly concerned about hydration and seems very off things check with GP but for me normally rights itself in a few days. Been up and down for the past month.

Water in foods also counts, recommend lots of yoghurt if they are teething. Seems to be one of the few things my LO will have when she's teething. It also counts towards their dairy intake too!

Also recommend adding some vitamin d drops when it gets this low, just to top up on some of the stuff they would be missing out on.

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.

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.

Experience with not circumcising

Hi!
Having my baby boy any day now. My first is a girl and in a way that felt easier for the sake of feeling like I know what comes with being a girl. Me and my partner decided not to circumcise our son but everyone I know has been circumcised or circumcised their sons. I understand why people do circumcise it but it’s not something I’m comfortable with and don’t want to for the sake of “everyone else does it”.

Can anyone give me advice or tips or what to expect with not circumcising their sons? Feeling lost and anxious over it.

TIA!

Hey mommas

For my anxiety ridden, overthinking mamas….. how do y’all function? Like I’m serious. Idk if there’s a medicine I can take to relax or just pray it out of me…idk…..but I notice EVERYTHING. Every smirk, every loss of eye contact, every text that i may be interpreting wrong… all of it. Overthink and just become filled with anxiety. My simple interactions turn into “why did they say it like that?” Or “they must be thinking badly of me or they don’t really like me.”

I knew it was bad this morning when I asked daycare if they need anything else for the grad party tomorrow. The response was kinda strange to me so I assumed she must not really want me to come and that maybe I should buy something else today to give to make things better. Like ………………….

Nappies or pull ups?

Are you supposed to change from nappies to pull ups when they start walking? I’m still using nappies

Does your baby wake up

I have a 4 month old when he is sleeping dad and I will start having sex. Since the baby was born he will wake up almost every time. He’s usually a hard sleeper.
Is this normal? If this happens to you is your baby a boy or girl?
