Feeding

My baby boy will be 8 weeks old tomorrow. He is currently breastfed, but I’d like to introduce a bottle as I’m supposed to be away overnight in December 😬 my partner has been trying to give a bottle of expressed milk once a day but it’s not going well so far and I’m concerned that I won’t be able to go☹️ I’m just looking for advice on how to encourage him to take a bottle, or reassurance that it will get better

Hey x
Are you using nipple shaped teats?

When I began introducing bottles I was using a wide latch nipple and she didn’t take it well so I used a regular one and she takes it much better and she still latches perfectly on the breast… maybe it would be worth a shot if nothing else works!

Why are newborns so noisy when sleeping?

They say sleep when your baby sleeps, but how are you supposed to do that when you constantly end up checking because the noises they are making sound like a literal demonic possession. My daughter woke for a feed during the night, I changed her and fed her and popped her back into her cot once she was asleep but then proceeded to spend the next half hour turning on the night light and checking if she was still asleep due to the noises and movement coming from her next to me. By the time I get back to sleep she will be nearing her next wake window 😅

Leaking overnight

My little lady is 4.5 months and has just started sleeping through the night (last 2weeks) she’s in size 2 pampers or size 3 supermarket own as they’re smaller.
I’ve pried pampers, Morrisons, Aldi nappies and through the night she’s leaking. Any recommendations, please?

Flat head fix?

Hi!! I need help fixing my baby girls flat head. It’s not fully flat but it is from one side and I feel like I’ve done everything. I don’t want her wearing a helmet just yet because I want to give it a shot before she needs to wear it. Any tips to help with flat head?

Naps are on sides
A round pillow
Try to baby wear around house

Baby sleeping out

Me and my fiancée was talking about when the baby’s is here she will be staying over at his mums when she’s a few month old and I said absolutely not she won’t be sleeping anywhere till she’s atleast 1! He said that’s the most important thing to his mum is to have her grandchildren over night as babies. Which I get but to be anything below 1 is way to young to let them stay out over night , especially when there is no reason for her to.
I don’t think I’m being unreasonable as I have also said she wouldn’t be staying at my mums either , but he doesn’t agree.
What’s it everyone thoughts about this ?
