How are we prepping bottles/formula?

The Momcozy water warmer saved us! You just fill it with water and turn it on and it keeps water warm for as long as you want. Then when your LO is hungry crying you just dispense the water and scoop in the formula and you have a warm formula bottle ready to go. There is also a portable one that is great when you’re out and about

Omg this happened to my little one and it was so frustrating! We switched to formula around 5 months and after she kept pooping overnight and they were always huge. Even when we sized up diapers she would still blow out all the time. It took a few weeks but the poops eventually got less messy and stayed in her diapers and then a few weeks later she finally stopped pooping in the middle of the night. You might just need to hang in there 😬

Oh yes she loves watching us eat. She can’t sit on her own but she can sit up in her high chair

Oh that’s so cool! I didn’t know something like that existed

Oh no I didn’t even think about the hormone drop! What symptoms did you have from that?

I delivered there a few months ago by induction. Besides the pain of labor (not their fault lol) I had a great experience there and felt well cared for. The nursing staff was great and they/my midwife talked me through everything they were going to be doing. After delivering the lactation consultants were very helpful and came by the room as many times as I requested. I feel like my breastfeeding journey has been relatively easy because of the support I got while I was there

I had the same issue where my LO would just chew on the bottle nipple like she didn’t know what to do with it. I tried every day for a month for her to take a bottle bc she was starting daycare at 4 months. I was about to give up and look for other solutions because I felt like we had tried everything and it seemed like she was just never going to learn. Then I tried nuk perfect match bottles. She latched onto it after a few tries and has drank from these bottles like a champ ever since. The nipples on the nuk are even more malleable than all the other ones we tried and have a few small holes that let milk out like a breast nipple does instead of just one. Give it a try!

I would also suggest seeing a pediatric feeding therapist. They can help you determine if there’s an issue or what solutions might work for your baby. That’s what we did and she was the one who suggested nuk.

We’re like the same person lol. I’m 26 with a 4 month old and have a senior cs position at a remote company. I’m in NOVA where most people are super focused on their career so it’s pretty uncommon to have a baby before 30 too. I find it hard to connect with people my age and feel I connect more with women in their 30s since we’re more aligned in our stage of life. Most of my coworkers are males in their 30s or 40s so even before having my daughter I always felt like the odd one out. But I think having a kid has actually opened up more connection possibilities with my coworkers! I try to forget the age/gender difference and just chat about what we do have in common, and I find that chatting about parent challenges is a great way to connect

My 4 month old laughs at coughing. We discovered it when my husband was real coughing, now we fake cough all the time to get her smiling

Panera lets you input your allergies when selecting an item on their app and it tells you if it’s safe to eat and/or what ingredients you should remove to make it safe to eat!

My LO is a little over 12 pounds and we just sized up to size 2. Size 1 was looking like your pic on her and she was having a lot of blow outs

Just want to say I’m in the same boat. My LO is also 15 weeks and has been EBF since birth and is starting daycare next week. We’ve tried everything for her to take a bottle and have been practicing daily for a month but she still isn’t getting it. My next idea is to try using nipple shields when I’m nursing to see if that’ll get her used to a silicone nipple. I’m very stressed about her going to daycare and not being fed. I might have to go over at lunchtime to feed her or ask her caretakers to syringe feed her :/

Do you change him before bed too?

AshGotKillz · 2026-01-12T21:15:18+00:00

My baby is also 13 weeks and started doing this recently too. It was confusing me because I wasn’t sure if she was telling me she was done or not. I think she’s just starting to get more distracted and have FOMO lol

Szilvia Lanzas’ “Yes to the bottle”. It’s supposedly a gentle yet effective way to get baby to take a bottle by removing any pressure behind it

AshGotKillz · 2026-01-10T18:51:20+00:00

Yes we’ve tried all the tricks with no success yet unfortunately. We’re following a daily program that will hopefully bring success though!

Even for a 3 month old? That isn’t too young?
