It varies I typically do a 2 oz bottle and if he’s still hungry I’ll make another one. My boy will be 2 months on the 19th 🥺💞

My baby can nurse anywhere from 8min to 30min and when she takes a bottle it can be between 3oz up to 6oz sometimes when she’s really hungry but her sweet spot is 3-3.5oz if it’s only been 2-3hrs since she ate or 4-4.50oz if she’s taken a longer nap/break between feeds

He’s 8 weeks and 2 days old and he eats a hearty 5 oz every 3 hours and nightly feeds expand out from 3 to 4 hours

Couldn’t tell you because my boy is EBF. That being said, he’s eating at least 10min every time but can go as long as 20-30min at a time.

8 weeks and ranges from 3.5 -6 oz every few hrs

My baby is around 10 weeks and takes 4-6 oz every 2-3 hrs with just one feed in the middle of the night.

Feels like my kiddo isn't eating enough. Compared to all these other babies.
My husband and I went to our first antenatal class yesterday, which is part of a block of five.
He moaned the whole way there, wasn’t engaged throughout and has said he doesn’t want to go to anymore. This is our first baby and I just feel really deflated, with the added pressure of carrying the mental load and educating him on what I’ve learned if he doesn’t attend. The problem is I’m so annoyed at him, I now don’t want him to attend.
Has anyone else encountered a similar situation?

My husband hasn’t been supportive (he pays the bills, rarely helps out with chores) whilst I’ve been raising two kids under 3.
I decided to stop doing his laundry a few weeks ago so he can start doing it himself which he did for some time. Today he messaged me asking if I could wash his work clothes. He’s had the whole weekend to himself pretty much and didn’t bother doing it. I don’t know how to respond without starting an argument.
Also yes I have spoken to him before about how overwhelmed I am and nothing changes.

My sister in law is the only family close that could help us. I am 5 weeks postpartum and been doing everything alone as my husband went back to work after 2 weeks. She hasn’t reached out once. She only met my daughter when we first got home. It is now something that bothers me and will be something I won’t forget. How do I approach the topic with her because I don’t want to feel this way.

Would the recent hoax bomb threats to schools make you consider home schooling?
There has been a massive jump in home schooling over the past several years anyway, but I feel like this gives families considering it a further push?
Personally, I would like to homeschool, especially my son but my partner is against it and his elder kids are all in school.

I wondered if anyone had any advice or insight into my problem.
My baby used to be quite a content baby. Over the last month or so, she seems miserable. The seems to be constantly crying or grizzling. I dread going out anywhere now. She used to LOVE food but now refuses unless its snack type thing, such as corn crisps/melts. Shes a little better with finger foods but she'll numb on one piece for a couple minutes then throw the rest on the floor - which i know can be normal as they are learning cause and effect at this age. But shes still hungry afterwards, just refuses actual food. Shes even recently started having big meltdowns over just going in her highchair.
She is extremely clingy too, which again - i know separation anxiety at this age is normal too but does anyone have any suggestions or advice on how to try and help this?
I'm just a bit exhausted. Its become difficult for my partner to help because she only wants me. Combined with her constant grizzling I'm mentally and physically exhausted.
We go to her grandparents however - completely different baby!
Does anyone have an advice? Any suggestions? Anyone think there could be something else at play? If so, what?
Any suggestions or questions to help with elimination let me know.
