Formula on holiday

Has anyone travelled to Majorca recently with a baby on Kendamil Ready-to-Feed?

We’re staying near Cala d’Or and I’m trying to work out the best option. My main worry is the night feeds as my baby still has at least two feeds overnight, so I don’t know what my best option is. We use a prep machine at home!

Any tips or experiences would be really appreciated!

When I went away we took a few ready to drink bottles and then also took two nubys with us and a tub of formula so we could make in the hotel room with the kettle and bottled water (this was in turkey so couldn’t use tap water but may want to check with Majorca).

For sterilising we also used bottled water and the milton tablets and then rinsed with boiled bottled water again.

If you don’t want to take formula, we got told that you can do a delivery to he picked up at the boots at the airport too so your not having to pack it all xx

Just take a tonne. Very very unlikely it’ll be available - we packed enough for travel (then some) in hand luggage as you have no restrictions on things for babies then basically lined the suitcases in the hold with it too. For feeds in the Airbnb (which is what we did) we took the Nuby and prepped with hot shot method then kept in the fridge for quick overnight feeds x

We went to Italy for two weeks and took a Nuby thermos and 2 rapid cools with a measured out tub stack to pre measure powder feeds and it was super easy. We never made up bottles at home either always used our brezza pro but actually wasn’t a problem and was super easy

We use the Nuby with the thermos flask. We get a lot of feeds out of using that flask. Stays warm for hours

We took prep machine with us and travel size one with ready made bottles

You can buy formula out there

Normal grandad behaviour

Apologies for this post, I've never had grandparents and my child does - so I dont know whats normal.

I have a toddler (2), her grandad; tickles her (randomly in random situations), kisses her (requests if when saying bye), pats bum , hugs (requests it), and whispers to her (randomly)

Unsure if this is normal. Please note I am also freshly postpartum with postpartum anxiety and all this news about paedophilia is really getting me worried.

Today made a joke when she was eating ice cream "wide mouth, come inside".

My mom

Omg, my mom is straight up annoying me. To the point where I just want to give her my baby and move on with my life (I’m married and have one child lol)

She literally thinks she’s the mother of my child. She keeps making comments saying I should start solids with my 5 month old soon to be 6, but he’s not even sitting up by himself yet. I told her he’s my baby and I’m the mother not her. I told her she already had her kids and did what she wanted, now let me do me.

Yesterday we went to get out pedicure and my baby was looking at me and smiling at me when she was holding him and the pedicurist said “aww he knows who mama is” and she said “yeah he’s always happy when I hold him” 💀 I wanna tell her off and I already did but man she’s doing too much. She takes care of him while I go to work so she literally sees him more than I do and STILL wants to see him on my days off when she should be doing something else.

Like I love how she loves my son but damn let me breathe as a mother.

Which is more disgusting...

I know this is a weird one so hear me out.
Imagine you're out in public, what's worse? Smelling a strangers fart or smelling their burp?

There is something soooo disgusting about a burp with a smell that I just can't comprehend🤢

Vitamin D drops

How are you giving your babies the vitamin D drops? Midwifes told me to put it drop by drop on nipple but now she is eating less frequently thats not really possible! Health visitor said to do it on my finger
Can I just drop it directly into her mouth? She holds her mouth open for it so it's easy enough but wasn't sure if there was a reason they couldn't have it all in one go!
Thanks!

Mam bottles

How old is your baby and what size mam bottle teat are you using?

Arguments

My partner and I have been together 2 years and have a 3 month old together. We’ve always had petty arguments nothing serious but ever since having our baby it seems as though we are arguing more often. I don’t know if it’s because we are both young or it’s the change in our lives. Is this normal ? Has anyone experienced this ? And does it ever go away or maybe it’s a sign that we aren’t compatible?
