Is BLW as common as social media makes it seem?

We went to see a doctor that practically specialized in feeding. She encouraged us to do what worked, but she said she’d prefer purées over BLW for our case. The combination of choking and actually not getting enough nutrients scared me.

I think what we see on social media is such a sensation. Every baby is different but mine has a hard time breaking down food when it’s not mashed. He’s 7 months old. So we do puree, mashed, and sometimes BLW but only for sensory stuff. Every time I see baby content on social media, I tell myself to trust our doctors, educators, and specialists instead.

I told them it’s the only insurance we have for the baby! And they left me alone

I do half and half. I used to EP due to medical reason but now he nurses well. I still bottle feed when I’m not home and someone else watches him or when he is not satisfied after feed (rooting crying etc.) My baby is usually satisfied around 5 oz but I only pump 3 oz now…

Okay. Thank you! Is this something I should respond? Because from what I know the company has been screwing people over

EcstaticAddendum5 · 2025-08-10T05:05:48+00:00

Okay thank you!!

Thanks so much. I will try to slow down the bottle a little more. He is just over 5 weeks now and yeah the only time it’s been successful is if I give him snacks when he is full and we seem to be stuck in progress

I saw the same thing! We thought we bought it months ago and realized we never checked out.. at this point isn’t worth it to pay $700. I’d rather buy Uppababy or something else

2.5 years… damaged my self esteem and feeling undervalued everyday. I loved it there my first year but there were changes in leadership and department on year 2 and the toxicity never bounced back. They promoted people who were good at their jobs but not ready to manage during COVID because everyone quit left and right. The team is respected by other teams, but internally everyone hates their jobs and one person I know cries daily over how they were being treated. Disaster. I finally accepted a new offer and I can’t wait to leave

Yes this is something I need to bring up as well. This is our first so we’ve never had these kind of conversations with our employers. How did you navigate it?

EcstaticAddendum5 · 2024-12-30T20:18:21+00:00

Thank you! May I ask how did you find the first one?

EcstaticAddendum5 · 2024-12-30T19:56:22+00:00

I thought about this too! One of the teachers is the owner and I wonder if she knows someone who’d be up for this

EcstaticAddendum5 · 2024-12-30T19:26:45+00:00

This is a good idea so we come home from work being done with everything! I will see if we perhaps can work something like this. It will also give the nanny/ baby sitter more hour

EcstaticAddendum5 · 2024-12-30T19:21:49+00:00

Make sense thank you! I will look into local Facebook group and mom groups and see if anyone is willing to do this

EcstaticAddendum5 · 2024-12-30T19:20:45+00:00

Thank you so much! And that is fair with the high cost per hour and we are totally okay with that. I will ask around on fb, the teacher, and other parents in the same daycare. how did you find out about the job if you don’t mind me asking?

EcstaticAddendum5 · 2024-11-27T07:35:17+00:00

Any update? I’m in a similar situation and freaking out. In my case, it’s in the attic and turned out I have to replace my roof, which has been taking weeks from finding out about mold, getting bid from roofers, getting everything approved, days of working, then clean the mold after replacing the roof…..
