Feeding

I’m noticing that a lot more mums seem to be exclusively breastfeeding these days which is great; there’s so much more education out there now to support us.

With that said - I really don’t think the “1% club” is a thing anymore (only 1% of babies in the UK only having breastmilk until 6 months when they start weaning). This data was collected in 2010 I believe!!!

With that said, how is your baby fed? (For curiosity on the data, no judgement!!!)

I do think we have to be considerate to mums that might not be able to breastfeed, and I appreciate that you have added "no judgement". I breast-fed my baby girl for 6 weeks but had to stop as she wasn't gaining weight. I did everything I possibly could to increase my supply and it just didn't work for me. We all have our own stories.

Waking baby for feed

Hi all
I’m finding it difficult to let go of the 2-3 hour wake ups over night! My baby is 4 1/2 weeks and typically still wakes up every 3hrs 20mins for a feed. However sometimes he will sleep longer and I find myself worrying about why he hasn’t woken up and if I should wake him. Are you all letting your little ones sleep longer once they’re over birth weight?

Thank you ☺️

Never a second from Baby 💔🥹

Hey everyone 💫💗

I find that I’m constantly with my 10week old constantly. She’s feeding on demand and find when breastfeeding and trying to get the wind up I’m unable to get enough out for her to settle down for the 2-3hrs ☹️💔 not to mention I’m sleep deprived running on crumbs. As we speak it’s 4am she’s just had some milk and she fell asleep and didn’t burp. I have 0 friends mind you and feel absolutely helpless and lonely. I’m going through PPD as well unfortunately which sucks.

Thanks for the advice in advance 💗💗

Weaning my one year old daughter off my breast on to a bottle of milk

Hi, I’m struggling to wean my 15-month-old daughter off breastfeeding. I think she’s mainly using breastfeeding for comfort now. I’ve been trying to get her to take a bottle, but she refuses any milk from it. She’s eating solids well, but I’m finding it really difficult to get her to drink milk from a bottle because she prefers breast milk.

Could I have some advice or tips on what I can do, please?

Is the flooring stopping my baby’s progress?

My baby is struggling to pivot and crawl, I’m starting to think that maybe it is because he’s on carpet as he’s pivoting in his sleep all the time.
Has anyone else felt this way?

Would you recommend a play mat if so which one?
