We are currently doing
6:30 bottle
Breakfast
10:30 bottle
2:30bottle
Dinner
6:30 bottle

(Rough times)

I don’t no when to add lunch in and I’m unsure if this is the right sort of schedule so would love to know others

Bottle 0800, Breakfast 1000, Bottle 1200, Bottle 1600, Dinner 1800, Bottle 2000

Ours is:
06:00 to 06:30 wake and bottle
7:00 to 7:30 breakfast solids
Nap
11:00 to 11:30 bottle
Nap
01:00pm lunch solids
2:30pm to 3:00pm bottle
4:00 too 4:30 nap
5:00pm dinner
5:45 bath time
6:45 bottle
7:00pm bed

Times do depend on when he wakes up but it is normally between 6 and half past

We tried to move to bottles at 6.30am, 10.30am, 2.30pm and 6.30pm with lunch around 12 but my little is refusing most solids and was then crying for her bottles where she was so hungry.

I am now trailing bottles at her usual times (6.30am, 9.30am, 12.30pm, 3.30pm and 7pm) but reducing the size of the middle three.

We are doing;
Bottle 8am
Breakfast 10am
Bottle 12pm
Lunch 2pm
Bottle 4pm
Dinner between 5 and 6pm
Bottle 8pm

Times obviously vary when she wakes up for that first bottle, but she sometimes wakes up once during the night for a bottle. If she does this sometimes I cut out lunch because I don’t want her to eat too much. She’s such a gannet and could eat all day every day xx

210ml bottle half 7
180ml half 10/11
180ml 2
180 ml 4
Dinner half 4
210ml at 6pm

Advice is really conflicting apparently your only supposed to feed them once a day until 9 months but my girl is wanting food more so debating adding lunch in

Thanks everyone, I was just curious as my daughter is currently still having a bottle in the night so times can vary - so let’s say between 12am - 4am she usually has.

Then we wake up between 6-7am she has a bottle, then I give her baby porridge we play she has a nap. She then has another bottle about 12pm after waking up. She will then have another bottle about 3-4pm and then solids so a dinner or baby rice around 5pm followed by a bottle at 6pm and bed. You just never know if your doing it right haha xx

Cheating..

Found out my partner was going to massage parlors for “happy endings.” A couple of months ago I also found out he had pursued another women while I was pregnant. I have 2 kids, one with him and another from a prior relationship (his dad’s deceased) …he said he’s going to change and pursue therapy and when he’d get stress , that’s what his stress would lead him to do. I’m 30 and feel like a failure. I have 2 kids with 2 different men and although the first one was out of my control , I’m sad that this relationship has failed. He’s saying he’s going to change and he wants to be a family.
Should I stay and try to work things out… I do feel like my worth is down because I do have two kids with two different men. How should I navigate this? Is this how men deal with their stress? 😕 I’ve know this man for 15+ years, since middle school.. I thought I knew better.

Favourite children

My partner has a child with a previous ex, a girl who’s now 4. He buys her everything, clothes, toys, plans days out, absolutely everything. Everytime I’ve mentioned how I can’t wait to do something such as a bike for our 11 month old son as these were prime memories of my childhood he will go out and buy the thing I’ve mentioned for his other child. I’ve also started recently collecting blue nose teddies for my son and there small and can be safely in his cot and when I was small I used to collect certain lines of teddies, I then later found out he started doing the same thing for his child with his ex partner yet shows no interest in me doing it for our son. He hasn’t bought him anything since he’s been born or even when I was pregnant and when he promised to help when he was a newborn he was bearly ever here however when he had his baby with his ex and they split up pretty soon he’d go round to help with bath and bed 3 days a week.

I’m also pretty sure he ditched me and his son to go and spend Father’s Day with his other child at his own dads house as I had lots of things planned and he didn’t show up. Bearing in mind I was so so excited because this is the first ever Father’s Day I ever got to plan as it may not be a first for him but it’s a big first for me. He never plans any days out for me and my son it’s always me and I buy everything, every toy and every item of clothing. Ontop of that his first birthdays coming up soon and I’ve chosen all the gifts and planned the whole party on my own but when it comes down to his child with his previous partner he goes out and spends hundreds. He even ditched my son and I on Christmas Eve to go out and spend 4 hours in Smyths for his other child and didn’t bring 1 thing back for our son (don’t get me wrong, he was 3 months old then) but even just a little gesture or teddy or anything. I had to go shopping for our son for his Christmas presents on my own whilst he did that.

He despises his ex as she lied to him about being on birth control and hr never wanted a child with her but did want one with me so why does he do nothing for my son but does everything for his other child and also helped out his ex partner more when she lives with her parents and didn’t do anything for me when Blake was born and I was all on my own.

Pocket money?

So I'm currently a sahm with no source of income. My husband works and pays for everything. I do my bit he does his bit. Its very harmonious. I never needed pocket money before but now, with a baby, its becoming inconvenient to not have cash on hand or have anything for myself. Like i havent had a haircut in years and i cant go on coffee dates. Anyone made an arrangement with their husband?
Hes more than willing but i hate asking. No judgement pls

Am I crazy to think I’m not allowed to hang out with my niece and nephew anymore?

As of lately, my husband has been having this idea that my brother doesn’t like him for some odd reason. It’s gotten to the point that he’s accused me of being there more for my brother than my own husband and my child which is totally ridiculous. Today my brother texted me inviting us out to eat, but I didn’t go because I knew my husband would say no so then again my brother invited us to an ice cream shop. My husband started working in his office. I told him me and my son would go because I also wanna see my niece and nephew. My husband makes the statement. “ watch our son don’t take your eyes away from him.” I ask him why he says that and he says.” well you always go towards your niece and nephew and disregard of our son whenever you’re around them.” I decided to not respond because it’s now starting to seem like I can’t even hang out with my brother. It’s my niece and my nephew and my son.

Keep in mind this is not the first second or third time he makes comments like this. What should I do?

I hate this situation

My husband and I have been on the edge of divorce for a while. He spends thousands of dollars on this card game to buy and sell, but whenever he sells, he just reinvests whatever he earned or he buys stuff for his personal collection. He even spent $650 of our son’s birthday money on ONE single card for his personal collection. It got so bad that he emptied our joint bank account that had around 25k in it, but has all this money in cards value, which he says is better than a savings account cuz they’re like “stocks”. I have my own bank account where I put all the money I make (I bartend at a fancy steakhouse) so he can’t touch it. I have a friend who I feel like I’m falling for despite me trying not to do this cuz this friend is very know it all and always criticizing me, tell me to leave my husband (it’s hard cuz we have two kids under 7) but at the same time I feel his friend love and we spend a lot of time together. Ppl who don’t know us always think we are dating. We both bartend at diff places but get off around the same time and we often times meet up for dinner or drinks after work. I know I’ll never be with this friend of mine because he’s looking for a wife and to have kids, but a part of me wants to move on from my husband and be with this friend of mine, cus I feel like he might date me if I’m single and divorced. We never touch each other and we’ve been totally platonic but last night we went to a rave and were really cuddly and snuggly cuz of the uh, substances we took. I know it meant nothing to him but he felt so nice to have his arms wrapped around me and hands all over my hips and body. We did not kiss or anything but, it felt like we were bf and gf for a few hours and when I went to the bathroom later on, I discovered that I was uh, turned on. I’ve told my husband before that I have a crush on this friend but my husband doesn’t really care. I think he thinks I’m joking or something. But anyway, yea. I don’t know why I wanted to share this because I know yall gonna be mad at me 🥲 it just hurts I’ll never be with this friend of mine and it seems there’s nothing I can do to shake the feelings I have for him. It’s like, I don’t have feelings, but I do to a degree? I don’t know if that makes any sense but that’s the best way I can describe these feelings I have. I love him as a friend so much but I crave his desire for me at the same time. I’m hoping these feelings will pass eventually.
