Anyone's baby on 8oz??

My baby is currently on 7oz and has been for a little while. This seems like a lot to me but I've followed their direction. The last dew days they keep crying after every feed indicating they want more. Surely 8oz is way too much at this age?

Is the buggy/pram period really over?

Anyone else here not using their buggy/pram anymore for their toddler? My boy wants to walk everywhere now, the problem is he doesn't really walk that long (only for 5 min at a time, then he either gets scared by something or just wants to cling to either me or his dad or he wants to walk in the opposite direction ...

Talkative but not communicating—should I worry?

My toddler knows lots of words, sings lots of songs from her nursery, and chats all day on her own, but when it comes to communicating needs, she just grabs my hand and leads me instead of using sentences. We’re a bilingual household and try to speak to her in English, but she still prefers single words or gestures...

Latch

Has anyone else struggled 10 days into breastfeeding? My lo has been latching well until tonight, he had a bottle of expressed breast milk earlier on today and now I feel like his latch is too shallow. I can also usually hear the flow of milk as he drinks but can’t hear anything so worried my milk may have also redu...

Sterilising bottles

I’m going to be using mam bottles for my baby, to start off with at least. I know you can sterile them in the microwave but I’m torn whether I should buy a steriliser as well, or would that be a waste of money?

Advice needed! Expressing milk at 10 weeks postpartum

Okay, so when my daughter was first born she struggled to latch and we had to stay in the hospital for the first few days so she was having formula and I didn’t pump until getting home a good few days later.

Crying for long periods

Anyone else's babe cry for long periods at night? Around the same time my baby cries about 7pm every night without fail. I've tried everything and although she does have gut issues, in my heart I don't think that's what is upsetting her. She's absolutely fine all day until bed time then cries for a few hours until s...

Toddler

My 1 year old is currently at the stage where she’s throwing tantrums for no reason. She ‘cries’ at everything when she doesn’t have things go her way, she screams at everything and is throwing everything.

Bottle feeding

Any tips on how to get my baby to drink larger volumes less often. Current on 120ml every 2hrs (8am-9pm) mostly draining the bottle. Ideally like to get up to 150ml every 3 hours. Currently if I make 150ml he wouldn’t even take 120ml of it and stops at around 100ml which is a waste. On the odd occasion he does ta...
