Creating an oversupply
Can you share tried and true recipes for helping you produce more milk? My baby needs to supplement with formula, just 6 ounces a day, but the Dr said I could use my breastmilk to mix with the formula. So while I typically just latch her whenever she wants, I want to make a small stash
Please no comments about my baby getting enough with my milk, there are medical reasons for it

Oreos honestly. They have Soy Lecithin in them and if you can't get the supplement sunflower lecithin then Oreos will help. It helps with mIntenece and clogs...do you use a pump because that is how you can produce a stash!! Pump every two hours. You can even do it after you baby eats or on the one boobs he isn't eating from. When you empty out it triggers your body to make more. Also make sure you pump in the middle of the night at least once because that is when you produce the most. I have lactation cookies that help and and this is important MORINGA. You can get in tea form or pull form but this helped me produce more than anything else. Moringa is nutrient rich supplement that they use in third world countries to help people with malnutrition. It will help you keep your body with the production of breast milk.
Chocolate and sugar 😂 I swear my milk was/is still 90% chocolate lol.
Cups of tea in abundance, cola, snacks.
Doesn’t sound healthy I know, I’m sorry. It just really kept me going and still BFing at 18 months with no signs of slowing. And I never actually did put on weight either?
Luck that may have been though, and the amount she still drinks 🥛 xx

Is it ok to let a newborn (2weeks) sleep if already past birth weight or wake to feed ?
No hate for having a sleepy baby please my first was an awful sleeper so I know how triggering these posts can be 😂… but
My 2 week old slept for almost 6hours last night and we woke him even though he seemed pretty tired and would have slept longer. He’s been a sleepy baby since birth but feeds a lot throughout the day and has surpassed his birth weight but my husband woke me last night to say we need to wake the baby to feed. I said I’d get up and pump and let the baby sleep but he said we shouldn’t let him go over 6 hours without a feed….
Should we wake him? Thoughts below please :)

Help…Normal tantrum or something more?
My daughter is having the worst meltdowns recently. I’m talking to the point where people are starting to stop outside my house and looking in with concern. The anxiety and humiliation leaving the house sometimes is exhausting. Kicking and screaming at the top of her voice in public and having everyone in the street looking at me, is a different kind of embarrassment and guilt. I’ve had a few conversations recently with various people about seeing someone professional about mt daughter’s behaviour. She’s also started using noises and moans to gesture what she wants, coming from an incredibly smart 3 year old who has been speaking full sentences since she was two. We have regressed in verbal communication, and the meltdowns are getting so horrifically bad. She also tugs at her clothes when distressed or pulls on her fingers. There is absolutely ZERO reasoning with her when she is like this, it’s just constant screaming. I’m a first time mum and just at a complete loss.

Breast feeding
I’m expecting in a few months time and want to breast feed (breast and bottle feed). What bottles do you recommend? I formula fed my first daughter and used Dr brown bottles (hated Tommee Tippee and MAM due to tongue tie issues). Is Philips Avent good or Lansinoh? Thank you ☺️
