Food, snacks, formula, cows milk - HELP!

Feel like I have completely lost my way with this whole thing. I don’t know what I’m aiming for anymore! My LO isn’t a great eater, still loves his milk, so I’ve been focusing on trying to reduce his milk to get him to eat more. It’s not really working but I’m hoping it will at some point. But where he currently sti...

Ran out of formula

We combi feed and give one bottle before bed every night. We’ve just ran out of formula and our baby is one in a matter of days. Would you restock or go to whole milk? We have introduced whole milk with the night feeds recently but only bit by bit.

Crying after bottle

My LO cries every single time I take the bottle away after a feed or during to burp. I’ve learned to just give him a paci and he’ll be okay. He won’t cry anymore and continues like normal. He is 8w old. I just want to know if I’m doing something wrong. He drinks one bottle of formula a day and every other bottle is ...

Bottle/ cup use

My LO has not mastered turning up her bottle or sippy cup to feed herself. She'll do it for short periods but not to finish a bottle. I believe we're partially to blame because we usually hold the bottle to feed her unfortunately to speed up the process but seems we've shot ourselves in the foot. My mom says she j...

Kendamil Formula

I want to know who uses this formula and what you think of it. I’m looking to switch my son from Similac 360 Sensitive to Kendamil cause i have noticed him spitting up a bit more even after burping and having him sit up 20 minutes after eating and i’ve heard good things about kendamil.

Anyone starting the early stages of nesting?

I’ve been having dreams of my home being a literal mess and feeling as if I have to clean up constantly but I feel it’s kind of early to be nesting as much as I am. I also am not the neatest person ever as I have ADHD which causes me to only half way do most things but I feel the strong urge to throw everything away...

Bottles

Hi all, How many bottles is everyone buying? I will be formula feeding. I have 6 mam bottles 160ml 5oz and 6 tommee tippee bottles 9oz 260ml. A mixture of both brands to see what baby likes. Is this enough or is it worth getting some more bigger mam bottles?

Stopping bottles

My little one is now 1 and I’m wondering how you go about stopping the bottles. Like she LOVES her morning bottle so can’t imagine stopping that yet, do I just replace them with breakfast and hope she has enough? Struggling with all this transitioning and what we’re supposed to being doing. Any help is appreciated.
