Breast to formula

Hi everyone! I’ve started weaning my baby a month ago and it’s going well. However as breastfeeding is mostly on-demand and never know how much baby is taking I am getting lost with bottles. Can you tell me what is your milk schedule with your 7 month old? And around how much they take? I feel like I’m either not feeding my LO enough or too many times? I’m trying to go along her cues but with her starting nursery soon I’d like to have a good routine. Thanks for your help!

I was in the same position and was worrying about producing enough when pumping for bottle for nursery.
I met with a health visitor yesterday and i asked her would 4oz bottles be ok and she said yes but to give them 2hrs before a meal. So say 10 bottle 12 lunch.
I then asked if it was ok for her to go most of the day without a bottle if she refuses she said it would be ok as shes still getting solid and water but to make sure shes getting some form of milk ie a yogurt, cheese or milk in cooking

She also said she may feed more off me in the morning and evening if she doesnt take the bottles in the day

Plan B or no?

Please I know I’m a dumb ass so let me just say that. My husband included. I’m 6 weeks post partum, ok to have sex again. My husband and I proceeded to have sex last night for the first time again and he did not pull out. He didn’t mean to because immediately after he realized he messed up. In his defense, we have never pulled out BUT that’s also why we have to kids close in age. However, we are done having kids and I’m going to be tying my tubes. Yes he’s still a jack ass for that and so am I.

Point is man, should I take a plan B or what should I do? :(

Finding out I’m pregnant again 5months postpartum…

So around 5 weeks ago I found out I am pregnant again. My baby is nearly 6 months now and when the second is born she will be around 13/14 months old I’m absolutely terrified as she was a c section baby and I know I’m probably going to have another c section….
She is breast fed also …

Has anyone else out there been through this already having 2 under 2 year olds, how hard is it??

any one got suggestions about stopping breast feeding before birth so second baby can have the boobs exclusively or should I start pumping and just give bottle breast milk to older child and the new born? Just looking for advice and suggestions really…

No proper words yet

My son just turned 13 months. He’s not really got any proper words. He understands EVERYTHING. He points claps etc. but mainly says ooooooohhhh or ooooooo to everything. I don’t doubt he’s autistic or anything but just worried why he’s not saying anything yet. Or should I be worried about autism? I’d love any mummies opinions on who’s been through this. They say boys are slower with words?

Dilemma

Has anyone had it where their partner has said yes to a second baby and then suddenly changed their mind to say he categorically never wants a second? Really not sure how to navigate my feelings at the moment or what to do for the best 😔

Baby boys playing with babies

What’s everyone’s opinions on boys playing with baby dolls. My little boy who’s 10 months loves playing with his baby dolls and my dad (baby’s granddad) said he shouldn’t be and he should be playing with “boys toys” I told him it will make him more caring and he will grow up to be the best dad himself. He really disagrees
