Bottle recommendations

We have tried so many bottles and baby jugs cannot latch right.

We have tried:

Tommee Tippee - too narrow
Nuby - too wide
Mam- liked these but bottles kept leaking
Lansihoh - too wide

Just feels as though there either too narrow or too wide for her. She hasn’t got tongue tie and has only had these issues as she has got older. She is 3 months now.

Any other suggestions please

I use the mam bottles, they only ever leak if I don’t press the white rubber in properly, I use the lid of the bottle to press it in, maybe give it another go x

Used Mam for noth my girl. It seems as she gets on well with the Mam... Are you sure the Mam is put together properly, make sure all the bits are pushed in and screwed together correctly x

My baby had this when he was like 2 months, i tried the Fred n Flo bottles for a while until he got used to latching again, or tommee tippee have just come out with that new teat, could try that? X

i’ve seen a lot of people recommend the phillips event ones, i used the advanced anti colic tommee tippee but my daughter also had terrible latch for the first couple months of her life, she then just got the hang of it i think x

Don’t get the advent, I tried, hard to suck for babies,

Tommee tippee my son did like but when u poor it upside down it leaks as in comes out the nipple which isn’t good for baby

Mam, I never tried

Lansinoh, although you say too wide, it fits the triangle something nipple replication thing which is good for baby’s to latch to as apposed to mam which doesn’t. Even if your baby isn’t breast fed I’d say try lansinoh as I’m a phyco mum and needed to research the depths of everything when I was pregnant.

If he still can’t latch, there may be another minor issue there such as tounge tie or even that little bit between the upper lip and teeth tie but if he’s clicking or is finding it hard to keep a constant latch, my son did the same, and he grew out of it. And trust me, I checked everything medically, I see your baby is only 3 months, and that age they still may hate a dummy and still learning to suck. Sorry I noticed I kept saying he but the baby is a she so I do apologise.

You see all these baby’s in videos sucking there bottle like they’ve known how to there whole life, lots and lots of babies, more often than not need to learn. Find a bottle, keep at it, and they will get it. It got to a point with my baby where I stuck with one thing because he didn’t really like anything and one day after trying for a long time it was second nature, don’t stress. This is all part of the process and I’m still learning now even now my son is just turned 1

What are the symptoms of her poor latch? Clicking/coughing/taking too long etc?

And when she latches, are her lips around the entire of her mouth flared (like a fish) or are the tucked under have you noticed? If they’re tucked and there’s clicking I would highly recommend Dr Browns narrow neck bottles and start with size 2 or 3 teat, I praise these bottles personally as our baby has been a different baby ever since using them.

3 month routine.

I know routines are hard at this age but does anyone have somewhat of a structure to their day with their LO? I. E when does LO nap and for how long and when do they go to sleep.
My LO is a bad sleeper with multiple wake ups during the night. I’m really deliberating whether it’s because of the naps he’s having during the day. I usually allow him to have one long contact nap in the morning (to make sure he’s not groggy for the rest of the day) his other naps are usually short and I put him down for them. I also like to hold him for his last nap so he’s not overtired and I can put him down for bedtime easier. He falls asleep anywhere between 7-8:30pm depending on how the day has gone.
Any tips / advice would be v helpful!

Second time mums..how?

My almost 4 week old doesn’t go down to sleep until 10:30-11pm, she has a few wakes which is fine, but the last block somehow kill’s me off. Her last wake is around 5:30/6am ish and it seems to take me the longest to settle her back to sleep at this hour and by the time I’ve finished my 3.5 year old is ready to talk my ear off at 7am prompt and ofc needs personal care and breakfast.

I’ve been able to rest as luckily my partner is still on leave, but I am anxiously anticipating his return to work and don’t know how I’ll do it!! 3 days of the week we will have to be out the door to the childminder, but the rest of the 4 he’s home with me😬.

How are we getting through the mornings/days with our eldest whilst sleep deprived?!
Any tips are welcome

4 month regression

Checking if your babies who are going through sleep regression also waking up before their usual time in the morning (apart from multiple wakings through the night). My LO used to sleep so well from 9 PM to 9 AM with one tiny feed at around 4/5 am. This bedtime works very well for our family. Now that the regression has hit us hard, she is waking up 3 or 4 times and then finally waking up fully alert and cheery around 7.30 am (1-1.5 hrs earlier than usual). Is this happening with you? Do you fully wake them up and start the day or just ride through this time till they are ready to sleep again? Sorry for the long post!
