Spit up or reflux

Hello my baby is 8months and spits up a lot. It’s been like that since she was a newborn and her pediatrician says it’s reflux. Personally I feel it’s too much. She’s a happy spitter though and always content with herself after lol but with the way she loves to eat it saddens me that I have to give her less food that she’d want and even that she still spitting up all the time. 🤦🏾‍♀️

Hi Rosetta, I’m in the same boat. It got a little better for my baby around 6 months, but then worse again at 8 months when she started moving around more, eating more solids, and occasionally getting constipated.
I eventually switched her formula again to goat milk/gentle formula, even though she tolerates cow’s milk just fine, and since then it’s gotten a little better. I also try to give her foods like oatmeal so there’s something a bit more substantial in her stomach. But yeah… it’s definitely not gone completely.
Poor babies with their sensitive little tummies! 🥺

Poor babies is right. I’ve pumped exclusively for 8months. I tried formula at 6months and she hated it so I continued pumping. Maybe I’ll try goat milk next time. It’s really easy because I’m always changing her clothes as she’s constantly throwing up, whether it’s milk or solids, it just comes right out. I feel it’s affected her weight but her pediatrician doesn’t seem to be worried. Ugh it’s just too much!

Hi my baby got diagnosed with sandifer syndrome after going to the neurologist thinking it was a seizure!

Have you requested to see a GI specialist? I went that route with my daughter as it was very helpful! Had to push for the referral but was definitely needed.

Nighttime nappies

Hi all, does anyone have recommendations for a good nappy for nights? 3 month old is sleeping in good stretches but nappies can’t keep up. Tried Aldi and pampers and now on Sainsbury’s and they are great in day but not at night?! Thanks so much

How much sex a month?

How many times a month in the first year postpartum do you and your husband have sex? (Trying to figure out what the normal range is for partners with a baby!)

Schedule/Routine

My LO is 11 weeks and I’m trying to start building a routine, as I’ve noticed her sleep varies. The last couple of days have been really difficult to get her to nap and she’s clearly tired but fights it. I’m wondering if I had more structure in our day, if it would help. She also doesn’t sleep through the night yet. Any recommendations or methods that worked for people? Or is this all normal and I just need to wait it out?

Breastfeeding

Does it actually get easier?

Two weeks postpartum and I’m exhausted. Baby is awake every 1-2 hours feeding and is EBF. I can’t sleep during day as my toddler doesn’t nap and so I feel like I’m running on fumes.
Do you get longer stretches when baby is breastfed? I’ve seen some women say they haven’t slept in years for more than two hours due to breastfeeding!

Crying before every nap

My three month old cries before every nap. He’s fine in the night when fed to sleep, but before every single day nap there is 5-25 minutes of crying. We follow wake windows as best we can but it doesn’t seem to matter whether he’s awake one hour or three hours!

Did anyone else have this, and has come out the other side?
