Nursery not offering breast milk

My little girl is 9 months and still breastfed. She started at nursery last week and I sent expressed milk in bags as previously discussed with the nursery and they said it would be fine. She picked up a cold at her settling in sessions the week before so was under the weather all week. The first couple of days they tried to give her milk but she only took a tiny amount. On Thursday she was dropped off at 7.30am and picked up around 3.15pm and nursery don’t seem to have even offered any milk in that time as the bags were untouched. She was very hungry when she got home and had several oz from a bottle (from her dad who picked her up). Is this normal/ok?! She definitely would have had multiple feeds in that time if I’d been with her, but I’m worried they didn’t even try to feed her!

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?

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

Help! What do I do in this heat!

Our bedroom is reading at 26.7 degrees and worried about baby sleeping in the room. We have the curtains and windows closed during the day and a fan and air con unit running but it’s still way too hot. Really worried about SIDS. Any advice?

Breast pump

Hey everyone! 👋 I’m 33 weeks and honestly feeling so overwhelmed lol. I really need to get a breast pump this weekend but the reviews on the ones I’ve looked at are not it 😩
I was leaning towards Momcozy but a few people have said it either stopped working on them or broke down pretty fast, so now I’m second-guessing myself.
Has anyone used a brand they’d actually recommend? I just want something that’s going to last and not give me headaches 😅 Any suggestions are appreciated!
