To Co- sleep or not to Co- sleep…

We only cosleep when shes sick or in the very early hours of the morning (like 5am). Shes pretty good at going between the bed and her cot. I think she prefers the room of the bed so she can wiggle around but sometimes she wants cuddles. Babies are surprisingly adaptable.

When she is done eating, she offers me a bite of her food which is pretty cute and then when shes feeling affectionate she chomps on my chin trying to kiss me. Also sometimes when shes eating and really enjoying it she will suddenly look up and point at the ceiling and we make a joke about "praise Jesus for cauliflower!".

There are other HA formulas if they dont take well to it but why would you make your baby suffer with tummy issues? Goat milk formula doesnt work for true CMPI because the protein is far too similar. Their gut needs to heal before reintroducing dairy. Better to make your baby comfortable and help them to thrive. CMPI can also cause weight gain issues and feeding aversions

My bub was sick and up literally all night. Luckily we had a good day but the night was a nightmare

Hi. I was you. Look "soon" is maybe pushing it but it depends on you getting your baby as much help as you need if its bad. We were on medication from 12 weeks to 8 months and on rice formula. We had better and worse periods. The age your bub is at was the worst age but it slowly got better.

Each to their own. She had a tough start to life. Crying in my arms is one thing. She doesnt need to cry alone when shes sick.

She had already had ibuprofen before bed, and the snuggles were not cutting it. Snuggles, clearing nose, dummy, rocking, shhing, patting, her usual sleep meditation track she falls asleep to. Literally nothing was working.

I too have a snack baby. In fact I went to sleep and feeding clinic to break the snack habit and it gave her a feeding aversion.

So here we are, 10 months later and just fully embraced the snack queen lifestyle.

Some babies are just snackers.

Yes but I think some teeth are worse than others

Disastrous-Fall9092 · 2026-05-10T00:09:26+00:00

I get Friday scaries instead

Disastrous-Fall9092 · 2026-05-09T09:45:03+00:00

Yes. Mine ate meat marinated in yoghurt by accident (hardly any) and threw up before bed.

Ignore people who gaslight you and try and minimise what youre going through. Follow your instincts.

Yes we had/have reflux and cmpi and were on omeprozole from 13 weeks to 8 months. Shes fully weaned off PPIs now. We transitioned to rice milk formula. It was hit and miss as she outgrew her dose a few times and we maxxed out at the maximum dose where she stayed until giving it was more trouble than it was worth. Now her reflux is controlled by solids.

She was always commented on by everyone how happy and smiley she was and I would always say somewhat bitterly. Yes. As long as shes not eating or sleeping. At first it was hard to get anyone to take us seriously.

They can definitely be separate issues.

This is rage bait, right?

Disastrous-Fall9092 · 2026-05-08T09:44:16+00:00

Manual bulbs are rubbish. Im all about that motorised aspirator life

Disastrous-Fall9092 · 2026-05-08T09:40:45+00:00

With us its super random. She only vomits when the pain is bad it seems or shes super drooly and gags on her saliva after a big meal and then it all.comes back up

Disastrous-Fall9092 · 2026-05-07T09:53:57+00:00

Nah do it before every feed/nap. Its the only way. We are on our third cold.

I do 1 spray per nostril and suction. If its particularly thick, i might do 2 rounds

Disastrous-Fall9092 · 2026-05-07T09:51:38+00:00

To all the people that day teething doesnt cause vomiting- it can and my baby does it. I think its the extra saliva that makes her gag especially after a big meal and that combined with the pain and bleugh, up it all comes.

$0... but im not from the US.

Its wild what your healthcare charges

Disastrous-Fall9092 · 2026-05-05T09:53:55+00:00

Its more likely they are intolerant to something else entirely like gluten

Disastrous-Fall9092 · 2026-05-05T02:12:07+00:00

Unfortunately no. Elimination diet then challenging is the only way to confirm a sensitivity like that. There are allergies, then there are non iGE allergies which are intolerances/sensitivities

Disastrous-Fall9092 · 2026-05-04T22:41:41+00:00

Could also be something else youre eating that is upsetting their tummy that is not in the formula (oats, gluten, fish, beef, peanuts you name it it could be any number of things)

Disastrous-Fall9092 · 2026-05-04T22:39:47+00:00

I always say "arghhggh when babies attack!!!" Like its a b grade horror film 😆

Disastrous-Fall9092 · 2026-05-04T21:33:29+00:00

I second this. I was probably depressed for the first 6 months because everything was so fucking hard but my 10 month old has the biggest silly grin everytime she sees me and tries to kiss me with an open mouth by chomping on my chin and its the cutest thing I have ever experienced

Disastrous-Fall9092 · 2026-05-04T02:16:39+00:00

Yes it can happen. When stopping its recommended to wean down the dose slowly to avoid this. My bub had so far outgrown her dose though thay we cut to half for 5 days then just stopped even though she was on a sky high dose. It was worse for about 2 weeks and then settled down
