How to tell if a baby is full?

My baby’s not a big feeder. She prefers little and often instead of a big amount every 3-4 hours. Spoken with my health visitor and she says it’s fine. My baby is formula fed so I can see her intake. How do I know when she’s full? She will take 0.5oz then stop sucking but i try get her to have 2oz per feed. Am i overfeeding?

Am I over reacting or no

My dad threw out my breast milk that I pumped yesterday (2oz) I left it in the fridge as I usually give it to my daughter in the morning when I leave for work, however I knew 2oz wasn’t anything for my daughter so I decided to save it in the fridge and feed it to her tomorrow with whatever i pumped today, come to find out my dad threw it away because he thought it didn’t work anymore as the milk separated and he said it didn’t look like it worked.

I’m bothered because it’s now the 3rd time he does it. I’ve told him and showed him before what it looks like and that I have 4 days to freeze it.

3.5 year old hair loss? What to do pleaseee

Hello everyone!

My firstborn has always had a slower hair growth but it was slowly getting there and I could do little hairstyles with it which she absolutely loved. But her hair is getting thinner and drier and nothing has changed health or diet wise. This picture is from March 2026 and I’ll post her latest one in the comments.

Do you have any tips? Or is this normal? Is your toddlers hair similar?
My 2nd born is younger by 2 years and she’s got so much more hair and it’s much healthier and longer.
