At what age did you stop using bottles for milk?
I have a 15 month old and we went to get 15 month old appointment yesterday and her doctor told us that she wants us to stop giving her milk in her bottle at night?

Poo’s

So my LG was diagnosed on 5th August with rotavirus and today we are still experiencing similar poos to what she was having when they said she had this? Does this poo look normal as she is a formula fed baby on apatamil pepti 1. Just I’ve been back and forth to docs and wanted to see if anyone else babies are having poos like this before a ring up again 🤦🏻‍♀️ this is her 2nd explosion of the day

Breastfeeding and sleeping through the night

I really want to give breastfeeding more of a go this second time round. However, I feel like I come across more stories of breastfed babies that don’t sleep through the night or that struggle to ever take a bottle. My formula fed baby slept through from about 3 months, and while I’m not expecting that luck again, I am nervous about no sleep with a toddler to look after too. Does anyone have any tips/ or positive stories about breastfed and sleeping through?

How do I teach my baby No?

So my little girl is nearly 14m, and she’s biting, pinching and pulling hair 😬 how do I teach her not to? I tell her no and try to move her attention to a toy but all she does is maniacally laugh and try to do it again. She finds me telling her no funny. I say No, we don’t bite, pinch, pull hair etc and then show her gentle hands. I just don’t know what to do 🤦‍♀️

Water for 5 week old

I took my 5 week old son to the GP because his poo turned green (after being yellow for some weeks) and he started to strain a lot more which was waking him up. Doctor said since he is pooing 6 times a day sometimes more (exclusively breastfed), he might be dehydrated so to give him a tea spoon of water after each feed. He is having 6+ wet nappies a day so i don’t believe he is dehydrated and was told at the hospital that breastfed babies can poo after each feed and it’s normal. Has anyone else had similar advice before because i know water could be dangerous at this age.

Boy mum troubles 😅

So erm my son is 3 years old and has recently discovered his penis does things 😅 till now it has mostly been 'oh it gets bigger' or similar comments but he has just spent the last 10 minutes playing with making it move on its own 😅🤣 obviously i want him to know his body is normal and natural etc etc and to be honest I have just sat and laughed my head off because it took me by surprise. He also started a thing of wanting to cool it down and does that by straddling a pillow... like I said I know this is all normal and natural him discovering his body etc but I guess I am just unsure on how best to handle these things and want to make sure I handle it the right way because I dont actually know the best way for me to react or talk to him about this
