I breastfeed and I’ve tried every brand going and she just spits them out when she realises no milk comes from it 🤣🤣 i keep trying every day tho haha x
Alot of breastfed babies don't like to take to dummies.
Mine hated mam as well, I had a variety that we got for free from different places so tried a couple different ones and he seems to like the Philips Avent Ultra Air one 😊
Tommee tipeee the breast like one ultra light
My breast fed baby only takes that one
Mine takes the Phillips Ortho ones
I think some babies just don't take to it. My boy was combi fed, but he was disgusted by dummies because no milk was coming out of them. It literally made him more upset and I spent a fortune buying different dummies. This time around I'm not even trying haha

Birth thoughts
Hi guys.
I’m having a bit of a difficult time talking about my birth because I feel like I cheated it almost. It’s hard listening to other mamas stories and I feel like I didn’t do anything or much because of interventions. I had to be induced due to waters breaking and was put on the oxytocin drip - I then had the epidural because the contractions were crazy. They turned the drip off at some point because my body took over. Then the delivery… I ended up with an episiotomy and forceps. I just feel like I didn’t actually ‘give birth’ if that makes sense? Like I feel a bit embarrassed talking about it. Did anyone else have this feeling?

How do you survive the 4am contact-sleep shift? 🤯
How do you cope with the early morning shift with a baby who refuses to sleep anywhere but on you? 🫠😂
We currently do shifts - I’m on duty from 8:30pm to 4:30am, then my husband takes over from 4:30am to 8:30am so I can get some uninterrupted sleep.
The problem is baby basically stops sleeping in his cot from around 4am and will only sleep on us, so my husband ends up staying awake holding him until my shift is over. 🥲
Husband is going away for two nights for work soon, and I’m honestly wondering how on earth I’m going to manage those early mornings on my own! 😭
Mums who’ve been through this, how did you cope? Did your babies eventually grow out of it, or did you find anything that helped? Would love to hear your experiences! ❤️

Non Speaking
My Boy just turned 2 in September, my concern is that he still doesn't have any clear words, he points and gestures like hands me his empty bottle or grabs things he wants but doesn't verbally say anything... His hearing is fine I know that, he barely gets screen time either and I am trying my hardest to verbalize everything I do or repeat words when he wants something.. anybody else got this problem or advice?🫠

Speech Therapy
My LO had her 15 month ped appt and her ped said she should be saying 8-10 words…she is referring us to a speech therapist because she only says around 4-5 words (she babbles like crazy tho). FTM - should I be concerned? I thought every baby is different and develops speech at their own pace? Anyone in the same boat?

Help with night waking at 9 months
Any tips for getting my 9 month old to sleep through the night? He’s sleep trained and falls asleep independently, but still wakes up 3–4 times a night. What worked for you?
