Hi,
I plan on breastfeeding however would like express so my partner, and others, can provide feeds. Which bottles are best for breastfed babies? I’m torn between Tommee Tippee and the Mam bottles

Defo mam I used Tommy with my first and he had the worst wind ever I used mam with my second and had no issues at all

tommee tippee were awful for us, we use NUK Perfect Match and have no issues switching between bottle and breast

i used mam for both my babies and i like them. they’ve never had any issues drinking

Another vote for mam 😊

Mam with lanonish teat

I breastfed, expressed, and bottle fed my first baby and we used MAM bottles.
Planning on doing the same again this time but we're going to use the glass ones this time.

breast feeding consultants recommend lansinoh bottles, they worked really well for us. I found expressing more work than it was worth though and only properly incorporated bottles when LO went off to nursery.

11 year son saying is gay

My son has recently told me he’s gay and it’s knocked me for six has anyone ever been through this

Screaming baby🙃.

So how do I let my neighbours know that I’m not torturing my baby? He’s just hungry for actual food but doesn’t understand he can’t eat and have his hands in his mouth at the same time so is screaming blue murder🤦🏼‍♀️😂

Showering with 10 month old?

Home all day alone with my 10 month old until 10 and wondering is it just better to kill two birds with One stone and wash us both together . Instead of having to distract him while I shower and him destroying the bathroom and hitting his head and trying to get into the shower . I don’t like showering late or else I’d wait until 10/10:30 for my husband to get home . Baths don’t make me feel clean also .Does anyone do this ? Or do you just do bath for them

Nappy bins

First time mum due in October, I am forever scrolling Amazon to figure out the stuff I still need from the baby checklist, and I’m currently on a tangent of nappy bins. I don’t want a nappy bin, but I am debating a food waste bin for the night changes, since they have an odour filter built in. I wondered if anyone has done this and if it works?

What would you do in this case?

My husband has mental health issues, so has left us and moved back with his mum and siblings. So the last two years I’ve been solely caring for our children who’s both under 5. He does chip in at times, but he’s always so depressed.

The mum made our life hell before. So my husband doesn’t speak to her. So she calls me now and then ( we still try to visit her and son stays over some weekends). But I think she is still under the impression that I need to visit her every week. ( my husband does not stay at home during the day, he prefers staying out) so I will just be with her and the kids and the siblings etc.

Would you voluntarily want to visit her?
I am worried if I don’t, then she will deny my husband staying there- which means more stress for us. But then that’s her son, and she should still try do something?

Runny poo what should I do ?

My LO is 4 weeks old and for the past 2 days he has had runny poos. He seems to be struggling with passing the poo and makes straining and painted noises.

He now has a little blood on the nappy when I change him and his bottom looks a bit raw. I have been putting nappy rush ointment but I am just worried it will get to worse.

Should I call someone? Should I be more concerned ? What could be causing it ?
