Milk intake
Anyone else have an 8-month-old, nearly 9 months, who suddenly doesn’t seem to be enjoying milk anymore? 😩
My little one has hardly been drinking his milk properly over the past week. If I make an 8oz bottle, the most I’m getting him to drink is around 3–4oz. Even today, I made a 6oz bottle after he’d had a bit of lunch and he only drank 2oz.
He’s absolutely fine with his food and is eating his meals well, which is the only thing reassuring me, but I’m just worried that he’s not getting enough of his actual milk intake.
Has anyone else gone through this around 8–9 months? Did you change anything with their meals/timing of milk, or just follow their lead? Any tips would be really appreciated because I’m getting worried seeing so much milk left in the bottles!

The triggering topic of jabs!
Just want to get everyone's opinions on jabs for their babies. I would never personally attack someone for their decision but I find whenever I post about this topic I always get personally attacked for having a different perspective. For reference, we as a family don't have them through personal choice, and children are thriving and hardly ever get sick!

4 month blues
Is anyone else the other side of the 4 month regression? Looking for some light at the end of the tunnel! I genuinely don’t know how much more I can take hourly/45 minutes waking and my partner works 13 hour days and no family to come over so I can rest at all :( my LO also has terrible reflux which makes settling him to bed a long process too. I feel so sad and exhausted all the time and just want to run away!

Sleep training? Recommendations
Hi all, my 18-week-old baby is EBF and used to be a really good sleeper, but since hitting 3 months, he’s been waking almost every hour for the last 6 weeks. Usually, the boob is the only thing that settles him back down!
Has anyone used professional help or tried any of the many sleep-training courses out there? Did they work? Is my LO too young for sleep training?
Any advice would be hugely appreciated. I’m absolutely exhausted!

In law anxiety
I’m a FTM and since my LO was born (he’s 10 weeks currently) my MIL has insisted that she wants to spend the night with him, and keeps saying ‘you can leave him with me, just give me some bottles’. I’m no longer expressing and only direct BF and I have also told her that I am not comfortable yet with my baby spending the night away from me. I have also told her I am no longer expressing so that wouldn’t be an option anyway. I just can’t seem to wrap my head around why she would assume I would be comfortable being away from my baby so soon. Its giving me anxiety that if and when I decide to wean my baby that she will expect me to be okay with this and I still don’t think i’ll be comfortable with this in the future. Has anyone else experienced this?

Baby Formula HELP
Long story short.. my 6week old baby(3weeks corrected) has been in aptamil since birth.
He has developed symptom of CMPA - rash/spots on face, loose nappies, discomfort etc. GP has advised to try a different formula for a few weeks to see if anything improves before trialling a dairy free formula.
Any suggestions?
