Bottles

When buying bottles did you commit to one brand or did you buy a few packs of different brands for baby to try out?
I work in a nursery so over the years I’ve developed preferences over bottles, I’m not a huge fan of tommee tippee, I like mam and I love the nuk ones.
I found some adorable Winnie the Pooh nuk bottles but I’m unsure whether I should just commit and buy multiple packs as I’m worried that what if the baby hates the teet or bottle? But if I just commit to one would they take to that one because it’s all they will know? How did it work out for you?

I just committed to mam and bought when they were on offer. I’ve had three children they all got on with them, such a gamble though. Think I would of cried if they didn’t like them 😂

I got 3-4 of 3 different brands via my registry. With Amazon they are returnable for a year. I am planning to return any baby refuses.

I got a starter pack of tommee tippee and she liked them so stuck with those

I got tommee tippee for now and will just amazon prime it if baby doesn’t get on with them

We bought Mam but I regret getting a big pack because we only ever used newborn and the size up.

I committed to tommee tippee but I think the mam bottles may be the better option! Xx

i went with philips advent and we never had any problems so stuck with it.. had a couple mam bottles on the side just incase she didn’t latch to the advent ones but the plan was to exclusively breast feed (obviously didn’t go to plan) 🙈xx

We started off with mam ones which was also recommended by the hospital as we were in there for 12 days. But we moved onto tommee tippee ones once we was out as we were gifted them and had more of them. My lo went off the mam ones as he got abit older. He's now almost 8.5 months

I used mam for for first baby, but couldn’t stand washing up all the bits lol so this time round I’m using Lansinoh. Lansinoh have one of the highest rated test shapes as its breast like

I committed to mam and unfortunately my baby didn’t take to them very well. She was drinking but because of the teet shape she was also sucking in air through the corners of her mouth causing her to be sick. We then switched to Tommee tippee and she is still on them at 9 months old

In the trenches 🫠

My baby is almost 4 months, she was always so happy and smiley but recently she SQUEALS!!! if she’s not squealing, she’s crying, no matter what we do.

When we pick her up, she wants to move every two seconds and stiffens up and screams at us to move her, in the car, play gym, in her swing chair.. it’s relentless!!!

Anybody else experienced this?? I’m worried (although I hope not!) that because I never let her “self soothe” and responded to every sound she’s made that I may have spoiled her like people said and I laughed at?

Who is in the same boat?

FTM to a 7 week old who has been incredibly chilled up to now bar problems with wind. From 6 weeks old he has been crying none stop and will only soothe with contact naps. I am unable to put him down and even on me he seems to wake up screaming crying for no apparent reason. He is absolutely fine at night but day times are a different story and he seems to go through a cry - feed - contact nap - cry- feed cycle until he goes down at night. I know this must be a phase but I am STRUGGLING. is anyone else going through the same thing?

How to grieve

Yesterday was the hardest decision I've ever had to make in my life. I had to put down my sweet Babygirl. She was 14 and was diagnosed with cancer a couple of weeks ago. We tried steriods but that didn't help. She declined fast and yesterday she kept peeing on herself while sleeping. She wasn't able to stand and was very weak. I feel so guilty. I feel as if I should have done more for her. Fight for her to live longer. I dont know if I did the right thing. I dont know if she knew it was her time. Im so heartbroken and shattered.

Nap time

I understand contact naps are normal- my baby is 11 weeks and still requiring them. As he will be coming up to 3 months soon, I want to slowly start practicing having him nap independently. He has to feel me or else once I put him down he wakes up.

Im embracing contact naps and want to be skin to skin as much as he does lol. However I’m a solo mum so sometimes I need to put him down so I can for example make food for myself.

After 3 months does the independence start to happen?
