Formula Amount
How much is everyone’s baby eating? Age, amount and how frequent?
My little boy is 7 weeks old and he has anything between 70ml-120ml every 2 hours! I always worry that the 70ml is too little but he’s gaining beautifully. Was 7lbs 10 at birth and is now 11lbs 8😬

6 weeks 1 day and he is having 120ml every 2-3 hours ☺️
7 week 2 day old little girl - she's having 150ml every 3-4 hours. She was 9lbs2oz at birth and is 12lbs now.
8 weeks 5 days she’s drinking 150ml every 3-4 hours, she was drinking 120 ml a week ago but started still being hungry after so we increased it 😊
6 weeks 4 days and anything between 70-150ml as well, every 3-4 hours. Has dropped overall this week a little but think it's the fussy 6 week stage!

Perfect prep machines
I have just read they are not recommended but we have the Tommee tippee one, has anyone used these and found them okay? If not how are people making formula?
My brother used a babybezza machine that dispensed hot water at the correct temperature and found this really helpful.
Would this be recommended?

Burping
How long are people burping their breastfed babies for and is this during a feed or just after? We think our little one might have quite a bit of trapped gas, he does a burp 80% of the time that we burp him but unsure if we should just continue until he does multiple?

Why do I feel like a bad mom?
My daughter is 1 and I know kids her age don't really understand the word "don't" or "stop" but we have a storm so we are in and out of power she kept saying dog because we were watching the live action Clifford movie so I was trying to connect back to WiFi while she was jumping on my bed. I told her to stop and sit down and next thing I know she fell off my bed! I heard her head hit the carpet and then all I heard next was her screaming like I've never heard before. I instantly picked her up to try and soothe her. She's sleeping right now because she had a long day and was already tired before the incident occurred. I feel so horrible and I can't stop crying. My mom called and I explained what happened to her and my stepdad even came in to check on her but no one else is answering me and I feel so alone right now. I don't know what to do. What signs should I look for when she wakes up? Does this make me a bad mom? Idk I just can't stop crying and I'm very shaken up. Please help 😭

Postpartum nappies
Can anyone recommend any to buy? I used disposable pants and pads in my last pregnancy and I just found them to be rubbish and uncomfortable as the pads kept moving and leaking. I’m fancying trying the nappy style ones if anyone has any recommendations? I’m a size 20 so I struggle to find any on amazon that might actually fit me😂

Car seat hell - help
My lG hates the car seat, and I mean hates. She screams and screams every car journey to the point we have to pull over. Even if I’m sat in the back, fed well before, made sure she’s comfortable, nothing is helping and I am starting to become traumatised from going in the car as I’m worried she will stop breathing from screaming. My first was bad but this is on another level.
Any advice please
