My baby is 5 weeks old and having 5oz of formulae every 3 hours or so and napping for 1-2 hours in between

I’ve always fed on demand so never really know how much she’s taking: I’ve always let my babies guide me!

I have a 9 week old, and I’ve noticed he takes smaller feeds but more regularly. I bottle feed mine and he normally drinks 120 to 150 every 3/4 hours. He is now taking around 80/90 every 2 hours. I was worried at first that he wasn’t eating enough but worked out how much he has in 24 hours and he is having enough. I would recommend also doing smaller feeds more frequently just to keep the baby hydrated :))

I exclusively breastfeed and just go by my baby's cues. Although if he is going 3 or 4 hours between a feed because he is asleep I will try him for a feed just in case as that is a long time for him. He had been going longer between feed 2-3 hours as opposed to 1 1/2-2 hours but seems to be back to between 1 and 2 hours during the day at the moment now that it is hotter

As a mother of nonverbal kids I need y'all with verbal kids to know that our babies are being abused at school.

Every other day there is something. A mom put a camera in her son's braids and caught a teacher choking him and calling him the n word. Poor baby couldn't speak but she knew something was up. There were multiple autistic kids in a school being taken to a basement and stripped naked.

I hope you teach your kids if they see something to say something to you because not everyone's babies can.

Dummy or avoid?

My baby is 4 weeks and we haven’t introduced a dummy yet. Are there any drawbacks to doing this? It’s not a huge issue to avoid it for us but would probably help us stop some fussing and provide a bit of comfort. We are breastfeeding but it’s going well so far. Any thoughts welcome! Also wondering on sterilising them especially on the go how does everyone do this doesn’t it become a huge faff?

Bathtime backache

Hey all, what are we doing to save our poor backs during bath time?

I'm still waiting on the 6 week clear to take a bath so can't jump in with her. And even if I could, do I still have to have it shallow? I couldn't cope with the coldness!

I have an angel care bath and leaning over is taking its toll! Also if anyone has tips for strengthening back muscles I'll give those a try!

Recommendations on bottles for breast feeding and bottle feeding mumma’s

I’m expecting my first this year and I desperately want to both breast and bottle feed baby! I however have such a fear that once baby has bottle they won’t want to feed from breast.

Any recommendations of bottles that you have used successfully and still been able to get baby to bottle feed please let me know!x
