Feeding
My 6day old is on 3oz and is currently being fed every 2 hours however sometimes she’s waking up 30 mins before this and not settling until fed . Really don’t know what to do . She doesn’t show any signs that she’s drank too much eg being sick etc .
For reference she was 8lb3oz

Feed her when she's hungry, not when the clock says 😊
definitely follow baby’s lead!
Yeah feed her when she wants and you could always up an oz and see - they go through phases and up and down on amounts, the recommended feeds are generalised and not for your baby, you might find she takes only a little bit extra across feeds or one big extra amount on one bottle x
Feed her when she’s hungry, all babies are different - no point stressing yourself out with feeding schedules etc. when this little, I always followed my babies lead on sleep/food x

Formula flasks
I’m new to formula feeding I make bottles up at home but when out & about I use pre made bottles.
I want to be able to make formula bottles when out so I’ve bought the Nuby rapid cool and thermal flask. But the capacity of the flask is only enough for 1 feed without refilling it.
Where can I get a larger flask that keeps water above 70 degrees? I’ve searched online but they’re all up to 50 degrees.
Thank you in advance! X

Am I the asshole for being nervous/ paranoid when my mother in law has my baby even when she’s just near him?
Hear me out, when I was pregnant she would always make jokes in the beginning and during my pregnancy. Saying, “oh this is our baby” and at first the way she would put it was funny but after a while it seemed possessive. So anytime she’s near him my skin crawls and when she’s holding him I can’t have a conversation with anyone because I’m so fixated on him making sure he’s okay. I don’t know, it’s probably PPA kicking my butt. Also I’ve stated multiple times he doesn’t need to be infront of a phone or tv because he’s 3 months old. Talk to him, play with him, yk. In return in a passive aggressive way I’ve been told that I’m wrong or “unfair because mummy gets to”.
I don’t know let me know y’all’s thoughts/ opinions or advice

Sleep training
Are there any mums who didn’t actively sleep train your little ones? What is there sleep like now?
My LO is 4 months and I typically rock her to sleep. She hasn’t yet learnt to connect her sleep cycles, but she’s been waking up every 45 minutes for many many weeks now, unless she’s sleeping next to me - and then she can have longer stretches of sleep.
Wondering if actively sleep training is worth it?

Combo feeding
Hey mamas! I’ve been looking into combo feeding my little one and was just wondering y’all’s opinions and which formula you would suggest? (Hes a gassy guy)
He’s six weeks old and my supply is still a little all over the place and he’s starting to eat more so i just want to make sure he can take formula incase i cant get my supply up to where he needs it in once he really starts munching!
