Milk drying up?

I've always had a good milk supply luckily and not had any issues breastfeeding before, but lately I've noticed my 19wk old son is feeding for some time (like, 30 min to an hour) and will still make feeding cues after finishing. Recently he's not been sleeping that well and we figured it's the regression that happe...

Ready to Feed Formula - I feel guilty but it’s so easy!! Anyone else doing the same?

My baby is finally here! We’re on day 2 at home and I love those little 2oz ready to feed formula bottles.

Formula feeding

Formula feeding mamas - are your little ones having predictable feeds and drinking roughly the same amount with each bottle or is their feeding all over the place still? My little boy is 7 weeks and has anything from 1.5oz-5oz every 1.5-3 hours. I feel like he’s snacking a lot rather than having full feeds but maybe...

Babies dropping bottles

My daughter is 10.5 months and on 4 bottles a day. Not sure she's ready to drop a bottle just yet but she seems to have very little interest in her morning bottle the last few weeks. I would have thought morning and nighttime bottles would be the last ones to go, so I'm curious if anyone else's baby dropped a morni...

Does anyone give milk first thing in the morning?

And how much milk (cows) does you LO get?? I'm wondering if I am giving too much?? He will get a bottle of milk when waking up - 150ml / 5oz Is this okay, because he will be very upset if I don't, or should I just give breakfast immediately upon waking? He still eats his breakfast 1 hour later, so isn't refusing ...

Bottle

Hey ladies, So after much thought I've decided to try and move my breat feeding baby onto the bottle as I'm absolutely exhausted and he is feeding still every hour at nearly 4 months old. My problem is he used to like the MAM bottles as I used to express my milk and he'd take it and now he just won't have them wit...

My baby has an awful rash, but this is the only symptoms of cmpa. I’m inclined in trying another brand of formula instead of dairy free milk is this a good idea?

How is it being a mother of two under 2?

I suspect I might be preg again …I calculated that baby will be here when my toddler is 2. I’m nervous as I do have a 7 year old already and when my now 1 year old was born it was so easy as my older son did most things himself.

How much formula is your LO having at 1 week?

My baby is 7 days old and he was having about 2 oz every 2-3 hours. He suddenly seems to be having 3oz and it’s been less than an hour and he’s crying for more… I’m worried about giving him too much! But also don’t want to ignore the fact he wants more?!

Is it okay to completely stop formula on the day they turn 1?

My little girl absolutely loves cows milk and drinks it way quicker and finishes it more than formula. It just seems a bit weird that one day she has to have formula and then the next she's onto cows milk? Is this okay?
