How much are our April babies eating

My baby turned 6 weeks yesterday and is currently in 120ml every 2-3 hours but I feel like we are going to be moving up to 150ml very soon! What’s the normal amount at this age ?

My baby girl will be 2 months exactly tomorrow and we are still on 120ml but I do think we’re going to transition to 150ml now. I did go up to 150ml at 6 weeks as she was still crying after feeding but health visitor advised to keep to 120ml if we can as the guidance is 150ml from 3 months. But she did say if needed then to just up it. Also 2-3h but about 8h at night x

My little boy is 7 weeks and we are now giving him his first 150ml bottle. He has been draining all his bottles today

My baby is 5 weeks and we’re feeding 120-140ml ish per feed (but sometimes more) plus top up breast feeding every 3ish hours, he’s a big boy (13lb)

My baby is 7 weeks today and has just upped to 180ml but every 4/5 hours so bigger feeds but longer stretches xxx

120-150ml 8-12 feeds a day is normal
Until around 6 months

We’re giving 120ml bottles every 3-4 hours. My son is 8 weeks old tomorrow. He does have the odd 150ml bottle but often doesn’t finish the 120’s so haven’t increased all the bottles as yet.

My baby is 6 weeks tomorrow. He was born small, 5lb 7, he is currently on 3oz every 2-3hrs with an occasional top up. But think we could also go up to 4oz. He weighs 7lb 13 now

Am I being unreasonable?

For context I'm SAHM and my partner works from home 7.30-5:15ish without a lunch break. Very busy and on the phone most the day
He's started going to the gym with our neighbour who annoyingly wants to go at 5:30pm every day (No kids)
Every day it turns into an argument of why he can't just go at 6pm. There is no reason to go during the only bit of time you get to spend with your daughter. He thinks I'm being controlling. I reply the gym is more important than spending time with your daughter. It's starting to drive me insane. Am I being unreasonable??

Frustration rant about screen time shaming.

I constantly see moms posting about how their baby is screen free, how they leave their baby to play and get on with stuff and it’s draining to see.

my daughter is 9 months in a few days and does not use screens unless absolutely necessary to keep her distracted whilst I have to do something or we are travelling far and she is bored of all her toys and snacks.

I have a fomo baby who is VERY active. Attention span in toys is 2 seconds, gets bored very easy, is very clingy. I constantly rotate toys, get new toys, leave her to play, give her snacks but sometimes it’s not possible to do things with her after she’s bored of all her toys and snacks. I also give her things that are not toys like plastic cutlery and Containers etc but still it lasts 5 mins.

So I have to give a little bit of screen to just quickly get some stuff done. And I do feel that there’s some type of shaming online and in real life. Even from influencers who constantly say ‘this is my baby playing without screens whilst I do things’. But it’s easier when ur baby isn’t a fomo baby. I feel like parents or moms with very fomo active babies are very misunderstood.

I do want to say my daughter has about 10 mins of screen time in a whole week if that. But also does mean a lot of household work is not done or is done very slowly :/

Also any advice would help

Wanting a divorce?

Hey everyone! I just need some advice , me and my husband been married for 3 years and we have a 19 month old . I’ve been wanting a divorce bc we gotten married way too early bc he was in the military but not anymore. Anyway the reason why I been wanting a divorce is because when I gave birth , he had told me he would stop playing a lot but he didn’t stop for days and nights. It was so bad I remember I’d spend days and weeks alone at night and sleep alone and it honestly made me feel not wanted. He stopped playing as much, only 2 times a week but he is always on his phone and when I try to ask him a question he answers with 3 words or less , it feels like I’m bothering him when I try to talk him at home. But when we are out he is normal and talks. Today he went to go play games bc we got into a fight bc I felt like he didn’t want to talk to me. I just need help or anything helps !!(he doesn’t want a divorce but I keep bringing it up )

Baby being left to cry

I feel like a bad mum.
For context I have a toddler (almost 2) as well as 5 week old.
There's some times where baby is crying and i literally cant go to him straight away because I'm dealing with toddler, or cooking etc
And i feel so bad when he's just there crying.
I feel bad even taking a shower because he often screams while I'm in there even if it's 10 minutes?
