How long to finish a bottle?

Starting to transition to formula after EBF. How long does it normally take your LO to finish a bottle? It took mine about 20mins just to drink 2oz and she didn’t finish the rest.

Advice please

Hi, I have a 3 month old girl. It's a bit early yet but I planned to do extended rear facing. She's a big girl, and although her car seat is typically for up to 15 months... she will probably outgrow it early. I have another 360 joie one that goes up to typically 4... so we're covered for a while. However, my worry...

Daytime nap routine

My 9 week old is an angel and sleeps all night, 9pm - 6am then 6:30am - 10:30am. Like clockwork. But she will not nap alone during the day and only wants contact naps. No good for either of us. Can anyone help me with this?

So cute!

Whenever my daughter was happy or excited about something she would do a little squat and move her butt side to side. I was like weird but okay. I started taking notice that she only does this when she’s excited and it reminded me of how a dog wags its tail when they are happy. Then it hit me she is mimicking Bluey ...

What warm drink do you give your baby before bed?

My health visitor says I shouldn’t give my 8oz bottle of cow’s milk (in a MAM bottle) before bed because the sugar can settle on her gums overnight. She suggested warm water instead, but that feels odd to me. What do you give your babies as a warm bedtime drink?

Any recommendations for a toddler sling?

I am looking for a light weight toddler sling and would love any recommendations. I have a carrier with the big wedge thing but I want something a little easier to take on and off. The one I’m considering is in the comments.

Depression advice

So my doctor prescribed me something for my depression and we are going to see if that helps. I think I know the reasons I’m depressed but there is nothing I can do about it. If anybody has any advice or ways that may also help it would be appreciated.
