Breastfeeding

Tried to get little one to latch in hospital and were struggling so switched to bottle as I wasn't massively set on breastfeeding anyway. Shes now a week old and Im itching to try again with breastfeeding but worried it could ruin her weight gain and set us back. She does eat well with the bottle, only 1oz down from birthweight 5 days after birth. Expecting her to be back at birthweight at least at our next appointment on Tuesday. Anybody tried again with breastfeeding? Obviously if it didnt work, we still have bottles and plenty of formula. Pic of our little angel just cause 🥰

Infant dyschezia, help!!!!

My baby was 10 weeks old yesterday and I think he has Infant dyschezia. Before 6 weeks he pooed after every feed, mustard colour and seeded (breastfed baby) and wasn’t in any pain. Then since 6 weeks he’s been going once a day and the colour has changed to brown, watery mucus, he is in so much pain screaming and crying real tears. I’ve taken him to the doctors 3 times and they just say he will grow out of it or it’s down to his vaccines (even though he only had them a week ago). Other than when he’s trying to pass wind or poop, his a very happy baby, smiling and laughing away. What do I do? Can post pictures of poop if needed.

Share your recommendation and experience please

I’m a first-time mum and would love some recommendations for a good nappy brand that you’ve personally found to be leak-proof, gentle on sensitive skin, and overall parent-friendly to use. I’d really appreciate your opinions and experiences.

People judging my 2 year old in social settings

We have some friends that are new friends for my husband and I as a couple. They have an 11 month old who just started walking and I have a 25 month old whole is my favorite person in the world but also, is a 2 year old…. That speaks for itself.
We were invited over to their house for dinner and they were CONSTANTLY comparing their 11 month old to my toddler and Mai g comment alike their kid will never be like her and “she’s a lot”. I honestly don’t even think she was being bad. She was bored and trying to find things to play with and the more we tried to border control her, the less behaved she wanted to be.
Now I’m home and feel embarrassed. Like they totally made it clear they think she’s a bad kid. Which makes me defensive. Is this normal emotion?
Like of COURSE your 11 month old isn’t acting the way a 2 year old acts. They have no idea of independence yet. They also can’t talk, or run around. I’m so frustrated.

Can I start breastfeeding at 4 months

I am a first time mom and I chose not to breast-feed my baby and mainly focused on formula feed. Hes never latched or anything. Is it too late to start or try it out? I don’t know what to start. Does anybody have any tips?

Anyone else’s baby end up like this every morning?

No matter how far I put her to the left side she always ends up moving right up to the right side? I do move her back when I notice but I’m just worried she’ll end up there for a prolonged period of time if I don’t wake up for a while?
