Bottle formula feed help 10m
Hi moms!
My LO is 10m and has been refusing milk. We formula feed him since young.
He prefers drinking water than milk but NHS (UK) guidance said babies need 400ml
Of milk until 12 months.
He’s now drinking only 200 or less.
What do I do?? Any1 experienced this?
Also few weeks back he seems to not want to suck from
Bottle anymore, how he drinks is by chewing instead of proper suck like he used to. I think after his upper
Tooth came out. Has any1 had this with their LO as well?

Have you upped the teat of the bottle brand he’s using? Or could try a different bottle.
Is he filling up on solids? If so could try giving a bottle before any solid food. Xx
He's probably more interested in solids than milk. As long he's doing great with solids and loves water I think he'll be okay
Along as hes eating well i wouldnt worry 2 muh about milk make sure he eats plenty of cheeses and yogurts cottage cheese is really good and philidelphia etc.

Can we talk vaccinations?🙏🏼
Question for the mums 🩷
Are you/have you vaccinating/vaccinated your baby? 💉
If yes, what made you decide to vaccinate? Are you glad you did?
And if not, I’d love to hear your reasons why.
No judgement either way… just interested in hearing different parents’ thoughts and experiences. 🤍

Reassurance please
Hi all, just after some reassurance as everything online tells me to be worried!
My son is almost 18 months old and still doesn’t say any proper words. He literally says “Ga” to everything.
He does respond to his name, points, waves, follows most commands (like “bring me the ball”..etc).
Should I be worried he’s not speaking yet, or have others experienced this and their children were just later developing speech?

My husband is having his 2nd nap of the day.
He’s also been unemployment for almost a year. I’m so sick of his shit.

Negative midwife experience
Hi beautiful ladies,
I’m feeling absolutely awful about my latest midwife appointment. I’m going through the public health system so every visit is a new/different midwife. I went in for my 28 week appointment, and when the midwife asked how my mental health was I told her it was up and down and I’m after a referral for the free psychologist program offered (🇦🇺), she looked almost annoyed at me and told me I need to talk to my own psychologist before she gives me a referral. She also asked about my support network - I told her that my dad had passed away from mental heath and my mum has a carer and addiction issues. We have a positive relationship but it’s not possible or practical to rely on her. I explained that my only other family is two brothers who live two states away and do FIFO work. I explained that my partners family all live interstate with the closest being his mum who is two hours away. She told me that it’s simply not good enough and that I need to get my mum to stay with me to help me and help with the baby, I explained to her that she unfortunately can’t stay with me because she is a long term addict and that isn’t an option. After this, she reiterated that I need to have someone to come stay with me for a week or two at a time and if I can’t find anyone, I’m going to be hiding inside my wardrobe crying at 4am, she reiterated this multiple times.
Does anyone else here have limited to no support and have been grilled by midwives about this?
I’m considering ringing the hospital and requesting not to see that midwife again
Ps. Just noting that I am completely okay, I’ve lived my entire life without parents or a support system and this is just another thing. The midwife just really got in there with a dagger
