Vomiting

Hello, my baby boy is 5 months old, breastfed and drinking formula from the bottle. He has been vomiting after feeding time and it doesn't matter if he has had a bottle or from the breast. I started to think it's because I don't burp him long enough but he is a wiggle worm once he is sitting up. Will he grow out of the habit of vomiting after eating or am I doing something wrong?
This is my first baby so please be nice when you respond. Thank you!

How many times has it occurred? Any changes recently?

Do you burp him and then have him sit or lay upright/in an incline position for at least 30 min after a feed?

He could be developing GERD/ acid reflux. The vomiting could be due to that. Or a milk protein allergy.

My baby also wiggles after a burping session. He gets frequent hiccups too. I have noticed that keeping him upright helps a lot. He also fusses when he has tummy pains / gas.

Did you switch formula or start giving him something different? I started my baby on Kendamil probiotic drops. He actually projectile vomited twice after that. I was adding it to the bottle with either formula or breast milk. I stopped giving him those drops soon after.

Is the formula you’re giving him still good? Sometimes, formula is to blame. Nara was recalled recently.

I would take him to the pediatrician :)

What to do 😩

My daughter is a side sleeper. I put her down on her back every single time and she rolls onto her side and will fall asleep. She's never rolled over onto her tummy yet but I'm paranoid waiting for the day she can and I won't sleep again until she can fully hold her head up 😩😩😭😭 she's 2 weeks and 5 days old.

I've tried constantly moving her back onto her back, every single time she moves onto her side or fusses until I let her. Once she's on her side she'll drift off into a peaceful sleep. I'm forever constantly checking her to see if she'a breathing or rolled onto her tummy and gotten stuck.

The picture is of the position she will get herself into every time. With her hand under her head. I'm lost for ideas please help 😭😩

No interest in sex

I have NO interest in sex anymore. I'm so touched out and tired by the end of the day i don't want my husband to go anywhere near me. He has gently brought up that i might be struggling a little postpartum. He feels the distance between us and has said he is worried about me. I'm about to be 1 year postpartum with my second baby. Is this normal or should i be seeking professional help?

4 YO refusing nap

My 4YO is taking a hard stance on no napping. I know he’s age appropriate to stop naps but the trouble is him falling asleep at 6PM and sleeping the rest of the night.

Not sure what to do as I navigate this territory.

Had sex with husband and hes easier to be around

I mean....we were not intimate for years because I wasnt feeling it but we started being intimate these past two months and boy I tell you. Like a changed man. Is this really how easy it is??

Ever had these thoughts?

Honestly it breaks my heart thinking about it when the thoughts come up.. but have any of you ever thought to yourself about "maybe my child would be better off with someone else"? I have but mainly because there's so many problems here. He's loved and supported and well fed and healthy. But we have very little money, I can't drive due to medical issues, he has medical issues himself, I'm recently divorced but live with my ex(no where to go)... I'm the main one taking care of him even with others around.

Feeding

How much are all your little ones drinking in a full day? My little girl is 9 weeks tomorrow and drinks between 120-150ml fir each bottle she goes every 3 hours ish but will then tend to go for a long stretch through the night as we give her a bath to settle her for the night. Shes had 750ml for this entire day.
