Dietitian has me questioning benefits of breast milk beyond age 2.

My 25 month old daughter still breastfeeds, mainly to nap and sleep at night but she does have a few quick sessions throughout the day.

Back to 4am wake ups

Anyone’s once great sleeper now at 10.5 months waking up super early at 4-430am. We’ve been giving him milk to settle him back to sleep, but feel like we’re regressing by doing this as he is drinking less in the day and making up for it more at stupidly early morning sessions !

Bedtime

Hey there mamas. My bubs bedtime seems to be getting later these days. He used to go to bed by 6.30pm, then 7pm but now its around 8pm. Just wondering if everyone is experiencing a similar change in bedtimes? Wake up is basically 6am regardless.

Looking for some advice or just a chat.

My son is 2 years old, he’s not speaking yet, well.. very well, not as much as people are happy with. He’s obsessed with his numbers and letters and knows them off by heart already, which I think is very clever for his age. I’ve been told by a couple of people he makes no eye contact but with me, he does and his na...

Feeding schedules?

Hi guys how much milk are you giving your little ones? Mines doing pretty well with solids so having/offering breakfast (8:00), lunch (11:30), dinner (4:30) and then following up with milk (bf) but I feel like I'm either constantly feeding her or forgetting to give her milk.

My LO is 4 months and does not poop regularly. She goes 1-2 weeks without pooping. Appears to be constipated but when she poops it’s watery. We have an appointment with GI but they’re booking out a few months. Has anyone else dealt with this? We have tried the usual remedies: warm bath, belly massage, bicycles, wa...

6oz or more??

I’ve been using the TT perfect prep for my LO, and TT bottles. However I’ve recently converted to MAM bottles and noticed that when I put 6oz on the TT machine it shows at 7oz on the MAM bottle but if I made 6oz in a TT it’s 6oz in the bottle. Am I making 6oz still?!
