Milk during day
Just an observation, not a question but would be interesting to hear your thoughts.
My baby used to fall asleep on the bottle before every nap. She dosnt like to drink during the day because ‘it’s too interesting, and I’m associating milk with naps’ is what I’m thinking.
So as of yesterday, I decided to try and get her to drink after every wake so she’s full for wake windows. She successfully just fell asleep with her dummy for naps instead of milk.
Anyone got tips on how to feed during the day, because if she refuses I’m worried she’ll go hungry (trip soon all day so don’t want her to refuse all day)

My LO has been doing this recently he’s just turnt 6 months old and the best thing I’ve found to work with him is let them play with the bottle and explore it after about 10 minutes of him doing this he will put it in his mouth himself to drink xx
Babys jusy like exploring their environment xc
My little one used to sleep while drinking or take at least an hour to feed. We changed the bottle teats (Tommee Tippee) to a more faster flow (3, for 6 months +) and he finishes the bottle and feeds much faster.
Worth a go to see if it makes any difference!

Switching to formula
I will have exclusively fed my 3 month old breastmilk in 2 weeks time and I think for my mental health I want to combo feed. Does anyone have any tips on this? I currently pump 7 times within 24 hours and would like to reduce that so I can live without having to pump every 3 hours. Any tips or advice would be appreciated. Xxx

Locking toddlers bedroom door
Do you think it’s ok to lock 3.5 year olds bedroom door? She keeps coming out and waking up the whole family so struggling to function. Or is it cruel to do that?

Co sleeping position
Is it okay to co sleep in this position with my 5 and a half month old? She mostly sleeps in her cot but sometimes she just wants me. Her face is completely uncovered and chin isn’t on chest etc. I know it’s not ideal but she seems to sleep so much better like this than on her back. My arm is cradling her. I don’t breastfeed and she doesn’t feed during the night. Need reassurance that it’s okay or an explanation why it isn’t😥

Baby chokes on my milk at almost every feed
I exclusively breastfeed and my little one is 7 weeks old, never had any issues before now but this past week he's choked on my milk at almost every feed and is gulping it like he's never been fed.
He generally feeds well, I alternate breasts each feed so like he'll feed on the left then next feed on the right side, but they seem too full for him and he coughs and chokes like he can't handle my milk flow. If i hand express beforehand so it isn't as full for him he is dissatisfied with the feed and wants the other side which is then too much for him and he's sick🫠🫠
Has anyone had anything like this? What did you do about it?, I feel awful watching him cough and he's spilling milk all down me which is not ideal when out of the house.
