4-5 weeks newborn - feeding
Just wondered how many ml of formula people are feeding their newborn of 4/5 weeks per feed. I am combination feeding but finding that increasingly my newborn is less interested interested in feeding at the breast (although he likes to be on the breast for comfort I don’t think he actually consumes much milk) so a big part of his diet is formula. He seems to be ravenously hungry much of the time and I’m concerned about over feeding on the formula!

I am wondering this too! We were doing 1-2 bottles a day of 3-4oz but recently upped it to 3-5 bottles a day so I could get more breaks which was needed mental health wise! So I am pumping a few oz a few times a day and mixing that in but its hard to judge isnt it. He takes between 3-4oz still, but still BF a lot too. When I asked the HV she said not to worry too much unless he is showing lots of signs of discomfort or bringing up a lot of milk which he isnt to be fair. He is 5.5 weeks and 11lbs lol big boy.
Our baby is 6 weeks today and we just upped her to 5oz on Monday. We feed her every 3-4 hours (including during the night). So we were doing 3-4oz at 4-5 weeks x

Washing liquid
Hi! I can’t stand the weird smell of any of the blue non bio washing stuff. Is there anything else that can be used for washing newborn? Something that smells a bit better 😬

Dream feeding
Hi
I need to stop dream feeding my baby at night when he wakes up. How do you do this or transition? He is mainly breastfed but I’ve started to give a bottle on the night on the last feed before he sleeps

Anyone else?
Anyone else a c section, co sleeping, breastfeeding mama and your body is just in bits? I don’t know if my bed is just uncomfortable postpartum or if it’s my body and cosleeping/breastfeeding positions. I feel like stretching helps a little but my hips and lower back especially are awful, but generally I just feel so achy and uncomfortable most of the time. Is it just me?
