I need some advice really struggling….

My LO is 3 months and 2 weeks and is EBF. He follows a routine during the day where he naps at least three times and is fed very well throughout the day*. Once given a bath and breast fed, he will sleep from 8:30pm to 10:30pm once fed again he will sleep for 4 hours (that’s the longest he’s ever done and not often) ...

Formula fed babies

Question for all the mommas who formula feed! Have you guys had to replace your bottles? I scrub them and sterilize them but the bottles just don’t seem to be super clean? Almost foggy looking.

What would you do?

I’ve mentioned a few times that I want to go to therapy for my mental health. My partner is totally against it saying that if I were to do that it would end our marriage. I get that he is scared that I would be confiding in someone else when he want me to come to him, but I don’t feel like I fully know how to commun...

Dreamfeeding

Hey, mummas, my baby goes to bed at 7.30-8pm but gets up at least twice if i do not dreamfeed in between. Is this normal? I'm getting comments from my parents and in laws that I shouldn't be waking up to feed, but it's easier to settle her if I get up when her feed is due, rather than letting her guide me.. I dunno...

What’s the longest you go without pumping? I’m trying to completely eliminate my middle of the night pump, but I’d have to go 9 hours. Is that too long?

I’m 6 months PP. I produce approx 33oz/day and pump 5x per day roughly 4-5 hours apart except overnight I stretch it to 6 hours apart while still doing one pump in the middle of the night at 2:45AM. I really want to eliminate my 2:45AM pump but then I’d be going 9 hours without pumping. Would this throw my body off ...

Cuddly toy in bed?

I know the guidelines say no cuddly toys etc in bed until 12m but baby is 11m and nursery advised to see if she can form an attachment to something to bring to nursery with her. Are any other babies out there taking a favourable soft toy to bed overnight?
