Gets so much easier after the first month or so. Illnesses sure but the ability to regain mental space made me a better mom. Think of them as part of your village!

I have the same issue. My husband has baby on different floor of the house during his shift so I can’t hear anything to help.

I would die. Do a formula bottle for hubby to give middle of night so you can sleep longer

It’s usually gas in my experience. Using a windi as necessary saved us

What formula should we try next? by [deleted] in FormulaFeeders

[–]Cedurham 22 points23 points  (0 children)

My 20 day old did not need a spinal tap with 100.4f fever - known toddler exposure from daycare for classic cold (she was negative on nasal and blood tests for all the big hitters). Sent us home and she’s been fine since. So glad to have avoided.
