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…

Toddler and baby room sharing

any mamas with experience (or plans) to have their toddler and younger baby sibling share a room? We only have a 2 bedroom, and though it’s down the line, we know eventually we will need them to share a room. I worry because my 20 month old is just such a great sleeper (slightly sleep trained him). Any experience or...

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?

Talking

How many words is your LO saying? My son is 13mos and only says mama and dada when he cries. But I feel like he doesn’t even understand a lot of other words like yes, no, hello etc. We speak to him in 2 languages could this be why? Or am I expecting too much too soon?
