Poo every 7-10 days

My LO is nearing 12 weeks and since birth has only poo’ed once every 5 days up until 8 weeks, from where it then became every 7-10 days. Been to the GP who did prescribe some lactulose however his tummy is not hard and does not seem uncomfortable. I am reluctant to give a laxative if he seems completely fine. Curious if anyone else’s LO has a similar bowel pattern.
Stools are runny whenever he does poo, exclusively BF since week 8. Was triple feeding + combo with formula prior to this.

Best bottles for breast fed babies?

Hi I’m trying to make a registry on Amazon and I’m having trouble deciding which bottles are going to be best for breastfed babies? Last time for me was 10 years ago and I’m so lost 😭 any advice is appreciated!!

Swaddling in a heatwave

My LO is 5 weeks old and will only settle if he is swaddled, i have stripped him down to just a nappy and using a cellular blanket to swaddle, i am keeping his legs uncovered and rhe bottom of his belly. Im so worried he is going to overheat. A muslin is too small and he just wriggles out of it. Any advice please x

Bed time 🌙 💤

Out of curiosity, does anyone follow a bedtime routine? Would they mind sharing & do you find it helps? Also,do you try to keep to a specific bedtime?

Thus far, I’ve just followed baby’s lead but thinking need to start establishing a wee routine.

So tired

My baby is 7.5 weeks old and I'm tired. Every nap is a battle, she won't go down without a fight and I have a toddler who also needs attention through the day. Please someone tell me this gets better? I don't know how much longer I can shush, rock and be screamed at multiple times a day 😅
