Can anyone relate?

My daughter is a preemie born at 36 weeks, from the day she was born I was breastfeeding and pumping in hospital for her, she was only taking quite tiny amounts, at least 20-30 ML each feed, she was jaundice for the first week which affected her eating. Since taking her home she’s been a lot better and no more jaundice rebounds, I also made the decision for my own reasons to switch had to formula feeding only, she is now 1 month and comfortably takes 2oz feeds every time, I’ve found if I’ve tried to push her to take 3oz she will through it straight back up or seen in discomfort so 2oz seems to be comfortable for her, she’s sometimes mixed with her feeding and can take just a bit more or a bit less and be happy. I’m just feeling quite worried as I see other mums babies at that age are taking 4,5,6 oz. My HV reassures me it’s because she’s a preemie and will catch up in her own time, can any other mums relate and am I just overthinking it too much? She wakes every 2-3 hours like clockwork to feed but again only comfortably takes 2oz.

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

Overnight diaper suggestions?

We are a Huggies family but I recently tried the overnights and my 8 month old has leaked through nearly every night! I don’t know why!
What overnight diapers do you suggest?!

1 year check

Hey ladies, in need of some experience / advice:
My little girl, nearly 11 months doesn’t crawl, cannot pull self to standing, cruise or walk unaided and on her 1 year check is in the concern section for this.
Upon measurements they also questioned why my little girl sits slouched? Or the only way I could describe it was like a monkey ha?
They’re referring my little lady to a community children’s paediatrics team and given me a physio number … question is: has anyone else been in the same position? What happened? What support was given? Did your child meet these milestones?

My little girls legs are fine, she’s a late roller but has exceeded other areas on the 1 year check.

And please, before anyone comments ‘babies develop at different rates’ yes I do understand this as an early years worker myself, but being my first and only baby… I still worry and would like support if any ❤️🥹
