Night time feed tips

Hi, my lo is 9 weeks and still waking up for nighttime feeds... she tends to vary from 60-120ml during the day every 3 hours or so. I wondered if there's any tips or advice about reducing nighttime feeds. Thank you

What’s your favorite bottle?

For my first baby, I had Phillips advent bottles and I loved them for him. We kept all the bottles in case we got pregnant again. Well now we’re pregnant again and I’m thinking bout changing the bottles lol. What’s your fav?

Constipated baby?

4week old Baby is formula fed, and she hasn’t had a poo in over a day! This has happened once before but then she started up again. She seems really uncomfortable and frustrated. She gets red in the face and gets all scrunched up. Tried baby massage and bicycle legs. Any help on this? Thank you

How to deal with people staying over

So my partner's sister travelled to meet our 8 month old for the first time and stayed 3 nights. I did say I think she should get a hotel but there we are...

Breastfeeding, pumping and supply

For mommas who have / are currently EBF or EP, please tell me how you increased your supply. I'm four weeks postpartum with my second baby. By the end of her first week, she'd lost about 11% of her birth weight, which worried her pediatrician. Up until then, I'd only been breastfeeding and never realized she wasn't ...

More Night Feeds?!!

My LB is 10 months next week and was previously sleeping 7-7 with one night feed around 3am. For the last few weeks he’s added in 2 extra feeds! He wakes up crying and will not settle until he’s had a full 210ml feed. Anyone else experiencing this? Wondering if he’s teething or having a growth spurt or regression???

Oversupply at night / EBF

I've been EBF my 7 weeks old boy so far and have occasionally pumped to relieve some pressure or have a bottle given by his dad when I had appointments. He sometimes sleeps longer at night and I feel my boobs would explode. I wake up in pain so I go and pump a bit to relieve the pressure but they're still hard and...

whoever started this rumor lied! 🤥

The person who said " breastfeeding helps you lose weight" is a liar! Lol, I breastfed for 10 months and didn't lose a pound. I don't regret the journey, but im not going to lie. I only started for that possibility. Then, I ended up really enjoying feeding my baby and understanding how AWESOME we are as women !!!!!...

Night waking breastfeeding

For the breastfeeding mums, what do you do when your baby wakes up at night? I actually have broken the feed to sleep association during the day but not at night. I always feed to sleep because it's the easiest/fastest way for baby to go back to sleep but I know he's waking up more because of it. He wakes up 2-3 tim...

Is my baby ready for their cot in their own room?

He’s 6 months and still gets up once for a feed around midnight. Sometimes cries and I turn over and pop dummy in. Don’t know whether it’s a sensible move as I’ll have to get up out of bed and go to his room to do this. Any advice/ opinions ladies? Thanks xx
