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🫠ðŸ«
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.

Have you tried laid-back/reclining breastfeeding? That position usually works as gravity is working with them and they can manage the flow at their own pace x
I have a fast letdown and sometimes my girl is fine with it and keeps up or she’s the same! If she’s struggling, I’ll unlatch her, pop a muslin on my boob because it’ll usually spray everywhere and just hold her upright and burp her, then put her back on. I always have muslins ready at home or out and about just incase. Sometimes it’s easier to just pop my bra back up because I still need to wear breast pads because of my letdown.
Their coughing and spluttering doesn’t bother them like it bothers us!

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?

Can’t cope with sleep deprivation anymore
My 9 month old basically refuses to sleep. He constantly wakes up in the night and like
Tonight I’ve been up 3 hours with him.
He’ll sleep in my bed but I don’t want him in here because then I’m just giving in and giving him what he wants. I don’t even sleep when he’s in my bed either because I’m so uncomfortable.
I don’t even know what to do anymore at this point. I’m a miserable person from the sleep deprivation and incredibly depressed but health visitors and doctors are useless ðŸ˜
