Move from breastfeeding to formula

Hello, I’ve recently had to stop breastfeeding and move my 10 week old to formula.

I’m not really sure how much I should be giving at this age and how often. Please can you give me an idea on what your 2 month olds are having please.

Thank you!

10 weeks on Wednesday, she isnt a huge baby (born 6lb 10oz)
Has anywhere from 80-150ml per feed, totalling around 850ml per day at the moment!

Go by the instructions on the box and then you can see if your little one needs more or not

Paediatrics recommend 150ml per kg of weight. Having said that, if little one is content on less than that and is gaining well, take their lead on it. Mine is about 5.4 kg at the moment (9weeks) so should be eating in the 8hundreds but she is perfectly happy between 650-750 most days.

Stains

Moms, what actually works for getting stains out of your kids’ clothes? 😅 I’m dealing with grease marks and all the random toddler stains. What products do you swear by, and do you pretreat, soak, or just throw everything in the wash?

Suicidal can anyone relate?

been depressed since I was in middle school now i’m 23 with a 2 year old drinking every day to stop from killing myself why does it never get better? Saw this story of woman who tried to drown her and her kids in a pool and honestly I completely understood. why keep a child in this miserable world. taking them out is saving them especially when no one would take care of them after you die anyways

Why no trigger warning???

Why are people posting pics of blood abd mucus plugs without the sensitive content warning??? Not everyone has the stomach to see that, there's first time moms on here who don't need to see it like have some consideration for others??

Anyone who breastfed before… is it worth it?

Its much harder than I thought and I almost never get to sleep. Most people told me oh it gets easier but lots of mamas told me like ‘oh my 7 month old still feeds every 1.5 hours’ 😬

Where is the easy part in this? Really need some encouragement. We did formula for our oldest and right now it seems so appealing to share with my husband and get some sleep… 😭🙈

Four month regression?

I'm sure my daughter is in the midst of this regression. She used to sleep in her cot for most of the night but for the last week as soon one hour passes of being in the cot she cries so I put her in bed with me which seems to work in her sleeping longer stretches. Has anyone else's previously independent sleeping babies turned into cuddle monsters who want to be next to you co sleeping? Not sure if it's the regression or what else really! I don't mind but I would rather she slept in her own space; I also don't try very hard when she cries to put her down again as when I have she just wakes up another hour later!
