Cows milk at 9 months?

So we just got back from our 9 month checkup and our ped told us we can start cows milk, we don’t need formula anymore because he’s eating food well and he’s a good weight so no need to add more calories from the formula

I don’t feel 100% confident in his answer about cows milk but want to see what everyone else thinks.

After the appointment on our way to breakfast I looked some forums up on Google and they said little sips are fine but moving over to primarily cows milk is not good because of course the nutritional factor and it can cause intestinal bleeding.

Please let me know your thoughts!!

Front sleeping

Hey all 👋 might be a little bit of a silly question but here goes!
My 7 month old has started sleeping on his front (which is fine, ofc) he actively unrolls and rolls and crawls. My issue is that he is so active in the day that when bedtime comes around he’s comatose, he then slowly rolls onto his front but sometimes he is literally face down. He does move himself in the night and isn’t face down the entire time, I think he just doesn’t move when he’s in a mega deep sleep.
Is anyone else experiencing this? I don’t want him to suffocate 😅

2AM and your baby is crying.

All needs have been met. He’s 2 weeks old.
Do you pick him up and hold him til he sleeps or let him cry as to “regulate himself.” Dad seems to think he has to cry it out at 2AM verses him being picked up.

4 month regression

What the f... is this???😭😭

Its the constant fussiness and crying and the struggles to put them down to sleep.

Wow!!!!

I can't wait for it to end!!

No sleep

Anyone else’s 9 month old become a twat for sleeping? The past couple of days my little girl has decided she doesn’t want to sleep, we’ve been doing the whole routine during the day with two naps, 3 meals and 3/4 bottles. She went down to sleep at about 6:45 last night, very kindly let me watch the England game and woke up at about 12. She screamed the house down, we gave her an extra bottle, changed her nappy, rocked her, gave her a dummy to see if that helped but nothing she ended up wide awake bouncing away, then eventually went down at 1:30! Which means I’ve had probably 3 hours sleep max, as I don’t sleep well anyway. Her front teeth are coming through so I know that she will be a bit out of sorts because of that but she’s never been this bad with other teeth.
I’m exhausted, and this week it doesnt help I’ve hurt my back so I’m in pain, exhausted and past the point right now. And the exhaustion is effecting my fiancé as well we are both tired so end up snapping at eachother. I just need to know if I’m doing it all wrong or is this normal?

Sincerely a very tired, overstimulated and overwhelmed mam

nursery, work and toddler

what is everyone doing with nursery and working? Me and husband both work full time. Today is the last settling in day at nursery but we’re doing the 30hours so we’re taking her half days. My little one is 14 months.

I’m looking after her whilst trying to wfh in the morning, settling her in nursery is emotionally draining as it is and then trying to work in a nearby cafe after is so hard.

I don’t know how I can sustain this lifestyle of wfh in mornings with her she’s so active, and very needy atm (my husband stays when he can but his job is onsite a lot).I’m typing this as she’s refusing to take her nap 🙂🙂🙂

How is everyone tackling this?

Struggling

I am 22 and my husband 25, we got married 3 months ago and always knew we wanted a family. I always felt I was made to be a mom and always had that dream. We weren’t planning of having a baby that soon, we wanted to wait a couple years. Since we found out we were having a baby we have been through a lot of emotions.
I feel so guilty to say that but a part of me is “sad” and nostalgic of all the moments that I could have had with my husband for the next couple of years, just the two of us. I know I am going to love to be a mom and we are going to love our child so much and won’t think that when he/ she is here. But for now I am just going through a lot of emotions about it especially since it was unexpected.
I trust God timing just really struggling of all the changes coming up.
Hope it makes sense 🤍
