Has anyone had issues with transitioning their baby from first milk to follow on
My son has been combi fed until 8 months. I expressed and would top up with Kendamil first milk, a bottle max per day depending on how much milk I produced. I stopped expressing around 8 months but he was still having first milk. Recently we've introduced follow on, gradually to now where he is fully on follow on. He has been projectile vomiting after feeds within minutes even seconds. This has been on going for a few days now. Obviously I've taken him to see our GP as he has diarrhea to. Under his advice stopped milk completely then reintroduced it slowly as he said it was a virus. But tonight, after only 3 ounces when his usual bottle is 7 he has vomited again. He has had no issue through out the day with water and dry toast. I'm wondering whether it could be an intolerance to the milk? He's been his usual happy self today also and has had no temperature to suggest he is sick.

He can stay on first milk until he's 1 and no longer needs formula
My health visitor said to stay on first milk until they’re 1
Was he fine on the first milk? If so, I wouldn’t change to follow on milk as it’s just a marketing strategy. First milk can be used until age 1 x

My baby has hardly slept all day 😳
What is going on? He hardly sleeps all bloody night anyway lol but day time is usually okay! He keeps napping for maybe 10 mins, which is usual for him when transferred but usually he would sleep 1-2 hours in our arms! I would say he has slept for about 3 hours total between 10am and 6.30pm! I dont remember this with my first lol

Venting
Anyone else feel like they just suck at being a mom on some days?
FTM to a 2 month old and I know this phase is really hard, but it is just beyond words so hard and confusing and frustrating most of the time. And that makes me feel really guilty because I know I have this amazing son who I love so much and none of it is his fault.
I just want to feel like I can soothe him and keep him happy - and most days I don’t feel like I can.

Advice
My baby is 2 weeks old and it truly seems like she hates me.
I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong. My husband can easily calm her down but I can’t seem to do the same. She will be totally fine with him and the second he passes her to me, she will start crying.
I’m having a really hard time with it. Any advice?

Going to the bathroom alone
I have an 8 year old and 4 year old and I’m just wondering do we ever get to go to the bathroom alone or have privacy while in the bathroom ever again?? My kids will not say 5 words to me until I’m sitting on the toilet then they wanna ask a million questions and they are hungry and they need this or want that. I know I can’t be the only one

Sleep help
My baby doesn’t nap longer than 30-40 minutes - still on 4 naps a day.
She is EBF but we have started weaning and trying to introduce a bottle of formula as worried she might be hungry
She’s up a lot in the night. Don’t know if she’s cold, hungry or just being difficult
Anyone else experiencing this?
Last night her longest stretch I think was an hour and a half!!
