Feeds

My baby is 6 weeks and has been taking 5 ounce bottles every 3-4 hours since she was 2 weeks old but is starting to look for more. Is anyone else’s baby this age taking 5+ ounces? I’m scared to put her up incase it’s too much but she’s constantly hungry

Thank you! I was thinking even maybe 6 in morning and 6 at night because she’s draining every bottle and looking for more 🥲 HV isn’t keen but I can’t have her hungry 🩷xx

At the end of the day you know your baby better than your health visitor does you do what you need to do for your baby that’s the way I think of it, it’s trial and error with babies 💕xx

Baby fall

I’m posting this anonymous because I don’t want to be prejudged. My little girl is 9 month old and has just fell off the sofa, I literally stood up and turned my back for a second to grab something, done it loads of times and never had an issue, it happened at between 7-7:30. She’s been sick a little down herself just before. Am I the worst mam in the world? Will she be alright having a nap? The mam guilt is something else right now. We’ve been up since 5:30 so she’s getting tired as well

If your LO is already sleeping or has fallen asleep at home and you need to go out do you wake them up or let them sleep.

When I say you need to go out I'm not talking a must like a GP's appt. I'm talking say to meet up with a friend.

My 3 weeks old son slept through the night

Good morning, I’m panicking because my son only sleeps in my arms throughout the day and in the past two days every time I tried to put him in his cot he would wake up after 5 minutes. So he had very poor sleep for the past 48 hours. Yesterday I was exhausted and he finally fell asleep. I woke up in the morning and he never woke up to be fed last night. This morning he woke up I changed him and I breastfed him as usual. He doesn’t seem stressed, but I feel really guilty. Did this happen to anyone? Should I be worried?

Night shifts/feeding

My partner is going back to work soon, we’ve been super lucky as he’s managed to have 4 weeks paternity leave but my goodness - how do you manage night shifts/feeding when your partner returns to work?

We are only just managing at the moment with two of us and dreading him returning to work and how I’ll manage considering he’ll need enough sleep to actually be able to do his job. Advice appreciated!!

Can I take my 9 month old on an uber without a car seat?

I may need to go to London (I live in Birmingham) for a few days, and will be taking public transport there. Once I get to London it’ll be quicker for me to order an uber. I won’t be taking a car seat though as I’ll already have a pushchair on me.

Baby carrier recommendations

Hello!

I would like to buy (another) baby carrier and need some recommendations, please.

I currently have a wrap baby carrier and my baby loves it. However, I would like to buy something that is easier and faster to put on.
My baby is 1 months old.

I would appreciate any recommendations from your own experience.

Thank you so much ♥️
