What would you do in this situation

I have a 1 week and 5 day old she is formula fed and she is currently 7 pound 8 and she was drinking a hole 4oz bottle she has been since day 7 but now after the bottle she will settle for a little bit and then scream for ages I have decided to up it to 5oz today and now she goes straight to sleep I’m worried I am over feeding her but she seems to be fine on the aptamil box for her weight and age she should only be drink 2-3 oz but she is not satisfied…..

My boy is exactly the same, he will be a month old on the 9th, but from the get go he has been a milk monster. He is having between 6-7oz on some bottles every 3-4 hours.
When I've googled it, it does say he is probably having too much, but he will literally stay awake for hours if he isn't full. Then will only drink an ounce but then be awake within 20 mins showing signs of hunger again.
Every health visitor I've spoken to is strongly for following your babies cues rather than sticking to strict guidelines. ❤️ Out of curiosity what weight was your little one when they was born? And what do they weigh now?

Infacol

Has a anyone actually been able to get hold of infacol? Online or in store (close to Warrington) I have dentinox but seems to make my baby more sicky

Do you think there’s a difference in giving store puree & making your own?

I use shop bought, the ingredients are organic and 100% the fruit/veg. It’s so cheap & convenient

Sun cream

Just curious as to what sun cream everyone has tried for their babies under 1 and would you recommend it? 😊

My 9 month old keeps waking up 4/5am

My just turned 9 month old goes to sleep at 7.30pm and without fail everyday keeps waking up between 4-5am. We have been using the Tommee tippee black out blinds so surely it’s not the sunrise waking him up. I’m baffled as to what the reason could be??

** just to update what I wrote. He wakes up around 4/5am and then we bring him into our room and he goes back to sleep until 8am??

Struggling with 2 kids

I’m absolutely desperate for some advice because I’m on the verge of a breakdown almost every day.

I have a 3 (almost 4) year old boy and an 11 month old girl. All they do is scream at each other all day.

My boy hates the fact that she wants to play with everything and my girl hates the fact that he’s always taking toys away from her. He’s always pushing her over and screaming at her and then she starts screaming because she’s upset.

It’s not fair to keep her contained in her high chair or jumperoo because she’s upset wants to crawl and is trying to walk. My boy doesn’t want to play in his room.

I only have the living room downstairs available to play in and it’s not big enough for a playpen, plus it would restrict her so much.

Can anyone help with how I can stop all this fighting between them?

They each have their own toys and separate sections in their toy box. Even if I take them out my little girl screams because she just wants to crawl around and not be in her pram.

I’m sorry this isn’t explained very well but I’m just so frustrated today and can’t take it anymore
