From EBM from the boob to bottle feeding

Hi there! I am giving my baby breast milk eusively from the breast directly and we will need him to begin drinking from a bottle because he will go to the kindergarten. For now everytime we give him a bottle he doesnt try to drink he really doesnt want it or is interested in it. Do you have any recommendations?

Do you mean he'll be going to daycare?

Have you tried a cup instead of a bottle? Some kiddos like them more at this age.

I would say have someone else give it to him and leave the room. Sometimes if they can smell you they want mom. I also second trying a straw or open cup. Something he won’t associate with the breast

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

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?

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?
