Breast-feeding and formula feeding support

Is there any advice on how I can transition my 6 month old from exclusively breastfeeding to formula?
The problem for me is not having someone else who can give him the bottle bc I know that’s supposed to help.

My baby is also rlly sensitive to regular and the enfamil formula for colic+gassy babies. He will throw up formula from an upset stomach.
I’ve gotten some hypoallergenic formula prescribed but it’s not sweet like breast milk so he won’t take it. I’ve also tried different bottles..
I don’t have much free time & im trying to start an at home business so I can make money but it’s hard to even get that together because my baby usually wants me by his side 24/7. I really want him to be okay playing by himself but he doesn’t like staying in his jumper too long, or even on his tummy. I just don’t know what to do. I’ve tried pumping but he also uses me as a pacifier and I feel like I never have much free time. Also I’m ADHD asf and it’s been so hard to stay focused… pls send some advice. Oh yeah & he’s also teething rlly bad and I think his K9’s are coming in first.. 😩

5am day starts

My 7 week old seems to wake for the day from 5am unless i put him in the sling he will then go sleep.

Will this eventually change and settle into a normal time if maybe 6/7am?

I have a 2yr old as well so praying this will change because my days are becoming sooo long. My toddler happily sleeps till 7/8am usually 😴

Colic

I am a first time mum. My baby is a month old, and is having uncomfortable movements and cries a lot during evening hours. And make faces while passing wind.Any suggestions how to deal with colic pain??

Tooth extraction

I am having a wisdom tooth extraction next week, I will be sedated and the procedure will take about an hour and a half. I have a four month old and I’m exclusively breastfeeding. In the consent form it says I shouldn’t breastfeed for eight hours and I should pump and dump.

I was wondering if any of you had a tooth extraction with sedation and are breastfeeding?

Can you tell me if you had to wait with breastfeeding? If not was the baby okay?

A lot of places say that I don’t have to wait and I can breastfeed as soon as I feel well enough. I have pumped some milk and kept it in the freezer, but I’m not sure if it’s enough and I don’t know if the baby will take the bottle.

Wake windows

Hi, my baby is 12 days old and is starting to stay awake longer and longer and I have no idea what to do with him, we've done tummy time but he's too young to do it too long. He just stars at me and me makes funny noises and I havnt got a clue what to do with him. He can't even see very far yet 😅 please can I ask what you guys did?

Reccos for breastfeeding tops / bras

Hi all, slowly getting my head round what works to breastfeed in public but would love some more help

Looking for supportive tops with in built bra support for slightly larger ladies (DD+) that you can wear without a breastfeeding bra and just yoik it up!

Also looking for a good strapless bra you can feed in by easily pulling down? And along with that any good feeding bras in general!

And any reccos for how to feed in a dress discretely! Thanks so much

4 month sleep regression

Baby is approaching 20 weeks now. We’ve been in the sleep regression stage for 4 WEEKS😭😭 it’s not getting any better. I’m running on empty I’m exhausted and upset all of the time. I feel like everyone else suffers for a week or two and I’m 4 weeks in what can I do? So many false starts, sleeping no longer than 2 hour stretches and she used to do 8-9. So so hard to settle even when fed I’m at my wits end😥
