Teat size (MAM bottle)

Hi Mommies! My baby is 5 months old and only been drinking about 3-4 oz per feed (formula). She’s been using size 2 teat so we tried a bigger teat (size 3) but she is refusing it. Do you have any advice? How did your LO take a teat size up?

Offering bottle to breastfed baby

Any success stories? We’ve tried offering a bottle occasionally of breast milk which he took a couple of times but really isn’t interested now. Have tried different brands and bottles. Open to trying formula! My firstborn never took a bottle and this time round I’d really like the comfort of knowing little one would...

Crib training

Hey mommas! My LO is 6 months as of today! I wanted to see what your experiences with crib training so far have been like? Mine has slept in the bassinet attached to my side of the bed since birth and I still can’t imagine moving her to her own room. Have any of you made the switch yet and how did it go?? Pic for tax…

When you get gas/petrol do you..

Pumping gas isn’t a thing I do so it’s a no for me but if I did I’d just leave it. My mom said it’s just easier when “balancing the check book” but like you can’t pick the price of your other purchases so why do it then?

Breastfeeding personal question

Hey y’all. So I have my girls pierced and I wasn’t sure how to go about breastfeeding and having them in. I’ve been told I can pump and have them in but I’ve been told I can’t so I wasn’t sure what to do with them. I’m also intimidated to take them out because I’m scared I can’t line them up and the holes close. Any...

Irregular pooping?

My 3wk old bubba doesn’t poop everyday. She’s going on day 2 of no poops and when this happens, out of nowhere she’ll poop like 4 times in a row. I don’t think it’s my diet that’s got her backed up because I eat organic whole foods and hydrate regularly. So is it normal for newborns to poop irregularly?

I'm just wondering when I should introduce a bottle to him just to get him used to the idea of taking one as I don't want to have trouble on my hands when I'm not with him and he won't take a bottle...

Witching hour more like 6 hours

As soon as 8pm hits my babies behaviour switches. She becomes so fussy, won’t stop crying and nothing settles her down till 2am. It’s been going on for a week now since she hit 4 weeks. It got so bad yesterday we had to go for a drive at 1am and after an hour of driving she finally fell asleep. Looking for some a...

Calpol vapour plug in

Can the Calpol vapour plug in be used for babies aged 8 weeks? My little one is really congested and got a cold. We have tried the saline drops, taking her in the bathroom with steam but nothing seems to be easing it. On the packaging it says to use from 3 months. Do you think this will be ok?

Pyjamas vs clothes

My MIL and SIL are quite judgmental. Especially over parenting and the way I choose to parent my children. if we have no plans and aren’t expecting any guests, honestly I don’t rush to dress my kids (2 and 1). I allow them to stay in their jammies until we need to go out, or until someone’s is coming over. In my opi...
