Cluster feeding?

So last night my 4 week old started taking so much milk, she’s on 5oz, but started wanting more an hour later and did the same through the night! Just constantly kept wanting more, I hardly had any sleep! Tonight she’s started the same just wanting more and more but not slowing or showing signs she’s full! And started spitting up larger amount but still looking for more milk! What shall I do? Keep feeding? At this rate she’s taken 8oz in 3/4 hours and isn’t slowing 🤔🤔

That sounds really exhausting! It’s tough when they seem to want more and more. You're doing great! 🤗

I would say to just be careful! This happened to me a few weeks ago and then she projectile vomited an insane amount everywhere! Was very scary.

this happen a few weeks ago to us also! But what do you do when your baby is crying for more milk it’s so sad :( x

Thankyou! Xx

Me and the hubby opted for complete distraction trying to hold out as long as we could before giving more. Walking around, singing etc etc. Was hard but we didn't want to see her throw up like that again. Worked for us 😊

We resorted to introducing a pacifier/dummy. Only for night feeds as she also has reflux. It has helped us not overfeed. But introducing a pacifier isn't everyone's wish. We had tried extending the time between feeds but she would scream bloody murder x

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.
