Need advice ASAP!

Hello, little backstory before I go into this post. My son when he was born could NOT latch, didn’t want to, bit me, cried, the works. He just wouldn’t latch. I surrendered ended up just exclusively pumping and giving via bottle. Well.. that’s changed weirdly enough. He’s two months now and I tried again randomly and boom he latches! However I don’t want him to gain a preference and not take bottles anymore, this would make it hard on all of us including when dad takes him on his shifts. What do I do? Do I make a mix up schedule where I do bottle and boob or? I’ll take all advice thanks!

it’s entirely different between each baby, but if he’s taking bottle and is now latching 2 months in with no problems then ur probably going to be okay as he’s a little older now, if u do run into any problems with preference just have a go with changing teat sizes in the bottle and see if it makes a difference

for my girl, she don’t care she just wants milk so will drink if from either😂 but some babies are the complete opposite x

really just trial and error but it’s promising that he’s been on the bottle and is now happy with latching onto you though x

Having to take baby everywhere

Do people take their babies with them to hairdressing appointments ? I’m desperate to get my hair done but my 4.5 month old is literally glued to me 🤣 she feeds every 2 hours so I can’t really leave her with any yet !

What would you do?

So I've just seen a profile on here of a mum who commented on a post and being nosy as I am I just clicked on her photo and can't stop thinking that her son has a lot of features of a baby with Sanfilippo syndrome.
I have never spoken to her or matched or anything.
Would you tell her? Just in case she doesn't know or hasn't heard of this?
If you were her, would you like to know?

Breastfeeding

Just wondering how often everyone is breastfeeding? My 8 day old is on the boob all the time and several people have suggested a dummy. I’m not anti getting him one but not sure if I’m just giving in too soon and it’s normal for him to be feeding often at this stage. He’s definitely not only eating once every 3 hours!

Move into own room

What age did you move baby into their own room? Did you wait till they started getting unsettled in their next to me or move them as soon as they turned 9 months?

Is this normal?

Living with mil and bil with my partner and toddler. Come down to the living room and none of them bother to look up from their phones, say hello or greet us. Happens half the time. Other times they’ll say hello. Other times, ignore us completely.
