Is my 15-month-old's speech and interest in play normal?

My 15-month-old walks, says a few words like mama and dada, and is super active, but she doesn't respond to her name unless I sing it. She also doesn't seem interested in reading or playing much. Should I be concerned, or is this a normal phase? I'd love to hear from other mums about similar experiences or any advice!

Pump and dump?

Today is my birthday and I had a glass of white wine at 6 weeks postpartum; do I need to pump and dump my breastmilk?

Stopping night feeds?

When can we drop night feeds?! Or at least go longer than the 3-4 hours? Our baby girl is just over 9 weeks and is gaining weight ok (she did go from 25th percentile at birth to now 9th percentile but is continuing to stay there and gaining ok), we are still feeding her through the night every 3 hours sometimes 4. We wake her up, she’s always fast asleep and I really do think she would continue sleeping if we left her. She’s generally only taking on average around the 610ml ish mark of formula in 24 hours though which is the lower end of what she should be having for her weight? (She last weighed 4.62kg on Thursday). So does this mean we will have to just keep continuing to feed her through the nights? It’s exhausting and we are struggling to keep it up and I’m worried she’s not taking enough formula! 🫩

Anyone’s else’s baby hate burping and is recently finding it hard to pass wind

My baby is 17 days old and mostly formula due to no supply. He’s been spitting up a lot and can’t seem to burp unless it takes over 30 mins or more. Hes also been fussy due to gas issues. Not sleeping more than 2-3 hours at a time. Nervous about my exhaustion not waking me up incase he needs a feed or burp at night.

How many naps a day?

Is your baby taking 3 naps still or transitioning to 2? How did you know they were ready to go down to 2? And also what time do they wake/go to sleep?

Help and honest advice needed

I absolutely do not agree with the cry it out method. My partner believes in it and wants to use it for how our daughter sleeps and I think if she wants to sleep on the bed with us let her in the middle of the night at least. He doesn’t want her in the bed at all. I think it’s cruel and we gotten into big fights over it. What is everyone’s thoughts?
