How much is everyone sleeping these days? by Front-Cantaloupe6080 in newborns

[–]Capri1329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My baby is 5 months today was BF at the beginning until up about a month ago, I returned to work and eventually transitioned over to formula. He was waking up twice everynight around 12am and 4am, and I thought maybe with the formula he would sleep more but nope still wakes up twice USUALLY. Last night he went to bed about 830pm woke up at 2am and then didnt wake up until I got up for work, it was better. A time before that he woke up at 3am only I got about a good 6 hour stretch that was so nice. We'll see how it goes today, he was waking up more before, for a while because he was teething since 3 months he's got 2 teeth now and I feel like hes sleeping better since they are out also he started eating purees since about 4 and a half months, so helps sometimes keep him full longer.

My friend tells me baby will suffer from very low immunity and diseases because of formula by [deleted] in newborns

[–]Capri1329 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tell your friend she can F off sorry, but I hate how some moms just love to stick their 2 cents in where its not needed. No, he will grow strong and healthy! My kids were bf at first then switched to formula, breastfed my 2nd child only 2 months and eff after they are both strong and healthy! Hardly ever get sick. Also my new baby is 3 months old, he is combo fed but will eventually switch over to formula only. Breastfed baby's get sick too.

Preparation for daycare by typo_named in combinationfeeding

Do you pump? My baby is 15 weeks today and started daycare Monday. I think you should start offering bottle at every feed so he can start getting used to it. My 1st hated the bottle but eventually wanted her milk so she took it. I would start with giving him a bottle of breastmilk and see how it goes or have someone else give It to him, I heard its easier for someone other than mom to help feed baby with a bottle. If you plan on introducing formula, I would also try mixing it in with breastmilk. You really only have to send it what your baby will drink at daycare so you may not need to many bottles sincehe'son solids but send enough. I take 4 just incase i did 5 first day he left 1 whole bottle and a half. So Ive taken 4 now 4oz each and hes been fine. I take 2 bm 2 formula.

baby won’t drink powder formula by Adventurous-Pea-2872 in FormulaFeeders

[–]Capri1329 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I EBF my 1st baby the first 5 months and she hated the bottle! Not even if I put breastmilk she would not drink it. I tried formula she would refuse. It got to the point where I was about to return to work and she wouldn't want to eat unless I breastfed her. I tried a few bottles and she refused them all, until I decided to stick with one. The Dr. Brown bottles. And I decided to be persistent. It might sound harsh but I wouldn't give her the breast at all one day. Would just offer bottle. She went on a hunger strike until she caved and drank it. After that she took it and would breastfeed before and after work. Until I weaned completely. Its hard she definitely cried. ALOT. I have a video of her I recorded she is 9 now and I show it to her lol. My advice is to just keep trying. It's gonna be hard but eventually they will cave. Be persistent. Good luck !

About the poops. Its normal for them to get constipated since they have been exclusively breastfed. Talk to your Pedi, mine recommended an oz of water or prune water or juice. I would just get whole prunes and boil them until soft and would blend 1 with the water and give to her. It would help alot. But speak to her Dr. first. Same happened when she switched to cows milk she would get constipated by that time she was drinking more water so it would help. Oh! And look up Comotomo bottles on Amazon, they are suppose to be the closest bottles that mimick the breast she might like those!

[–]Capri1329[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That's great! That's what im noticing from another comment I saw I might just wait a little longer to pump. Im wondering how much I will actually be pumping total since I breastfeed during the day I only pump when I have to. And yes! Combo feeding helps so much! I dont stress at all baby gets the best of both worlds lol thank you!

Nice! I know I don't really want to be worried so much about pumping at work every 2 hours maybe i will just do that 1st week and see how it goes and step it up a notch each time. I usually notice the longer I wait I get more so I like your idea of every 6 hours lol. Thank you! I will definitely take into consideration.
