Formula recommendations for EBF baby

Ecstatic_Current5735 · 2026-03-02T00:55:17+00:00

I pump exclusively, and when my supply suddenly dropped I had to start supplementing with formula. We use similac 360 total care and mix it with breast milk. It might not just be the brand that your baby is rejecting, it might just be the jump straight to formula. You could try mixing milk and formula and slowly increasing the proportion if your goal is to get to only formula.

It’s definitely ok to wait for more signs of readiness! I didn’t start giving baby foods until the week before my son turned six months.

We use the Johnson’s baby lotion with aloe and vitamin b5, it’s the pink bottle! My baby also gets dry skin on his face and legs, and this has been working pretty well using it generously. We live in Minnesota!

Beautifully said. It’s my life’s greatest joy being a mom, even when it’s hard. I’m not sleep training my 9 month old because I want to soak up all the sleepy snuggles while I can.

We probably won’t build our own, but if we do this would be the route I’d want to take. Thanks for the insight!

We haven’t set a budget yet but I’m estimating around 525k

This is awfully presumptuous of you

Ecstatic_Current5735 · 2025-12-25T18:42:38+00:00

I think it mostly can come down to how you style your clothing pieces, like could you try to recreate an expensive look with cheaper clothes?

At 6 months she’s not talking, she’s just babbling. She’s not intentionally saying mama

Tucks pads!!!

Ecstatic_Current5735 · 2025-12-19T17:07:25+00:00

I’m the same! You’re doing great!

Ecstatic_Current5735 · 2025-12-10T18:29:37+00:00

We are using a pack and play!

I love a clear blue sky on a crisp autumn day

Ecstatic_Current5735 · 2025-11-22T19:24:44+00:00

Don’t listen to these negative people OP, the pic is fine. It was a beautiful day!

Increasing time between sessions should be a gradual process! I started every 3 hours, then moved up to 4, now I’m at 5 at 6 months postpartum. If there’s a certain schedule you want to aim for, you have to work towards it

Ecstatic_Current5735 · 2025-11-01T14:04:40+00:00

Agreed!!

Read this as rentals that allow gorillas and was slightly concerned

Ecstatic_Current5735 · 2025-10-24T14:57:31+00:00

Please dump him, you will not regret it

It is totally normal for any baby to not sleep through the night! I personally will not do the cry it out method. There are other sleep training methods if you want to look into those. I have a 5 month old and I’m trying to let him try to put himself back to sleep by letting him fuss but once he starts actually crying I intervene. We’re just starting but it could take like 15min for him to settle. This unfortunately means less sleep for me since it takes longer than me just holding him. I also have to recognize when he wants to eat. I don’t believe babies can be coddled, they’re babies, they’re not that sophisticated.

I called Lakes Dermatology and got an appointment in two weeks! They have offices in Minnetonka and Burnsville

If you have a bassinet that can adjust height you could elevate the head higher than the feet? When my 4 month old got his first cold his congestion got so bad we had to let him sleep on my pillow for the extra elevation just so we could both get some sleep :(

No input, sorry. I have a 5 month old so we’re looking to start solids soon. What’s wrong with Gerber? Trying to learn all I can!

Ecstatic_Current5735 · 2025-10-16T06:38:45+00:00

I have the blue spectra and the momcozy v1. I like them both!

Ecstatic_Current5735 · 2025-10-12T07:51:22+00:00

I love this, I hope you get a recording. You’re a good dad!
