Bottle schedule
Show your support
My mum had my LO for long hours due to my partner being in hospital (not close by). My LO is combi fed and I was shocked how much my LO drank with my mum. She normally does 3/4 hours but she was doing 2 hours. I would just give lots of bottles and the formula to mum. I’m sure she will do right. I’m saying this as whenever I give a schedule to my mum she doesn’t quite follow it 🤣 but I rather my mum isn’t stressed and my LO is happy. Hope your KIT day goes well and you get some sleep tonight x
@Maddi thank you! This is helpful. And good luck to you too! I'm doing 2 this week. I get the "already" comments too... I'd love to have longer off but can't afford it! Going back "properly" in May but making as much use of KIT days and annual leave the next couple of months as I can. Part of me is looking forward to it, but equally will spend all day worrying that my baby is OK 😅 but I'm sure she will be x
@Kerenza thank you - I've literally just sterilised all of the bottles I've got 😂 and this is exactly why I decided to just use formula rather than stressing about having enough breastmilk for her! Who knows how much she'll drink haha. Sorry your partner has been unwell x
Firstly good luck with the kit day! I have 3 next week for the first time and I'm so glad I'm not the only mum who is taking them (already as people like to point out)! My LO is now on 2 purees a day but bottles are generally every 2 1/2-3 hours if he was only bottle fed. He has been formula fed since day one. I go by a rule of however many bottles I think plus an extra one just in case x
