Night feeds

Hi, wondering if anyone can give me some ideas on how to get my 15m old off from drinking milk at night, this is going to sound crazy but she’s waking up every 3 hours for milk (formula)

She’s on 3 meals a day and snacks too inbetween, so I don’t believe it’s hunger I think it’s sort of turned into a comfort thing but I really don’t know what to do anymore as I’ve tried to settle her without milk when she would wake up crying or whinging in her sleep but then she will get to a point where she will cry so much that she wakes herself up completely then I end up having a long night with her.
I didn’t have this issue with my eldest who’s 6 now hence I don’t really know what to do.

Social media babies sleeping 10 hours+

Please tell me I’m not the only mom who’s baby still isn’t sleeping thru the night.
My son is gonna be 6m soon and I keep on saying videos saying he should already be sleeping thru the night no wakings to feed. He eats like how he does during the day, wakes every 3 hours, he very quickly goes back to sleep.
We’re not interested in doing any kind of harsh sleep training, we just have a good nighttime routine and just attend to our baby when he calls for us
Any other moms sleep waking up with their babies? And when did your baby (non sleep training) start sleeping thru the night or at least longer stretches.

My little girl (17m) is poorly for the first time and it’s breaking my heart.

I just wrote a post asking how to make administering medication less stressful for my little girl but I feel so sad I need to say something. It’s now 1.30am. I’m covered in penicillin sick and precious baby tears. Plus my own tears. She’s got tonsillitis and has been prescribed penicillin, and she just hates it. I’ve been instructed to wake her for her nightly dose (5ml every 6 hours, 4 times a day) and this is the 2nd out of 6 doses already given that she’s thrown it up on me because she’s so distressed that she just cries, gags, coughs, and vomits. She’s not allergic, showing no obvious signs of allergy, she just has a serious aversion to medicine administration. Idek know what I’m aiming to get out of posting this, I just feel so alone (her dad and me aren’t technically together, and he left on an argument tonight) and im so hurt hearing her so distressed because she doesn’t know what’s happening. She doesn’t know why she’s so poorly. She doesn’t know I’m trying to help. She’s never been poorly like this so it’s really hard for me, she’s my first born and it’s just breaking my heart. 😢

Babies must know when we sacrifice for them

It’s 1000 degrees outside and I have a stomach flu but I strapped my baby to my chest and went for a walk anyway because she was fussy. The whole walk she was cooing, kicking her legs, and overall in a fantastic mood. Now that we’re home I’m convalescing on the couch while she plays with her toys in peace.

Formula feeding 8 week old

My son turned 8 weeks old today and for the last 3/4 days he’s been eating 6 ounces every 3/4 hours. Today he drank 7 bottles in 24 hours, is this too much?
I am feeding on demand, he is pretty much finishing them all (leaves a bit of foam)

He is on anti reflux milk and isn’t bringing anything up!

He was weighed today and he is 11lb 8oz and the midwife had no concerns with his weight gain.

How frequently is your baby waking throughout the night?

And how many weeks are they? Do you have a bedtime(ish)?

Had anyone held their child back a year in school? Did it benefit/help your child?

My daughter struggled with speech for a while between 1-3 years old. She starts school this year and I’ve thinking of ahead of maybe having her repeat kindergarten next year as well because I feel like she could really benefit repeating it. My boyfriend doesn’t seem to agree as much. I’m genuinely wondering if I’m making a mistake of thinking of taking that route? Should I wait and see how her first year goes?
