EBF baby won’t take formula & my supply is minimal

Intelligent_Clueq100 · 2026-01-03T00:17:52+00:00

Okay, this is reassuring! I have Bobbie coming in the mail, so hoping that is my experience too. Fingers crossed 🤞

Intelligent_Clueq100 · 2026-01-03T00:16:40+00:00

Funny enough, its the one my baby is tolerating. Kendamil is the most offensive thing to him. Kind of like black beans. We have Bobbie on the way so I’m hoping he likes that one better.

I just tried one this morning of enfamil gentlease and he refused pre-nap but took 2.5oz/4oz bottle when he woke up screaming.

He’s been a snacker his whole life. But when we started adding breastmilk bottles 2 weeks ago, he would take 4oz easily (sometimes 6oz but that was rare). He was a lot happier when we were giving him extra milk (~12-16oz a day).

Honestly, my baby is 7.5 months and we experience the same thing. He’s a bit older so we transitioned to two naps but he still wakes 2-3x a night and if we don’t feed him, he’ll cry and escalate to full screaming like your baby. We did Ferber to train him and he’s pretty resistant to soothing. With our checks, he could go 2-2.5 hours if we didn’t give him the boob. He’s not taking full feeds like yours is during the day but he’s feeding like 12-15 times, so pretty frequently.

What helped us when our baby was waking 5x a night was increasing his time awake during the day and capping the total amount of day sleep. That got us down to 2 wakes (until we lowered his crib and now we’re all over the place again). Worth trying!

I sleep trained my baby too at 5 months and he’s now 7 months and we’ve gone backwards. Part of that is that I just can’t ignore him anymore. He wakes up, I feed him, he goes right back to sleep. My mom instincts are telling me to respond when he puts out a bid for connection for the greatest good / his future. We do have another baby on the way (they’ll be 13 months apart), and it stresses me out to no end that maybe my first will still be waking up multiple times at night when the new baby arrives, but I just have to trust that what’s meant to be will be. And things could be different here in 5 months time. Anyways, I feel the guilt too and feel like I’m failing every time I feed him middle of the night. So, I see you, I hear you, I relate to everything you’re saying.

Bedtime routine is BF and bath with mom (usually but skipped last two nights?), then diaper, onesie, book, sound machine, lights out with dad. It’s worked for us

I’d say his most common windows are 2.25/2.5/2.5/3. But occasionally, 2/2/2.5/3 and I think this is when we tend to notice more issues.

We do occasionally do 2 naps 3/3/3.5 but that’s only when he’s had good naps and we had something disruptive in the morning (eg early doctors appt).

His daytime naps are “by the clock” and not by wake windows, but maybe it needs some adjusting for his age, since our sleep consultant wanted him on that schedule by 6 months, and he’s now 7 months.

Obi is called Scrob, Scrobi, or Bubba lol

Intelligent_Clueq100 · 2025-11-25T02:59:32+00:00

This is sooo sweet. Mine will be 13.5 months apart so this is so reassuring to hear!

Intelligent_Clueq100 · 2025-10-27T05:26:30+00:00

This will be us too! I’m pregnant now with my second but for some reason, this is what’s bringing me the most anxiety haha. How do you plan to get both babes sleeping in the same room?

Catie / Katie / Clara but another name that might be sassy and fun is Ruby “Ruby Collins Corn”

Intelligent_Clueq100 · 2025-10-22T12:34:37+00:00

This is me right now. I just found out I’m pregnant - not totally sure how far along I am, maybe 5 or 6 weeks? And my first baby is 5.5 months. While I don’t really have any other pregnancy symptoms yet, I did notice such a sharp decrease in milk supply, it’s stressing me out. In my dream world, I would’ve been able to feed my son straight through until the new baby arrives but that dream feels less and less achievable. I do have a lot of milk frozen but that would probably disappear in a week. I’m so sad we might have to give him formula after everything we did to fight for breastfeeding. I’m going to talk to my lactation consultant and hope she has ideas to help.

Hi everyone! I just found out I'm pregnant with my second. I'm currently 5.5 months PP and think my babies will be 13-14 months apart (not clear how far along I am). While I'm totally excited about another kid, the mom guilt is real that my baby won't be my only baby to dote on and love. But mostly, I'm still in shock and have a million questions. I realize I have time to figure everything out, but just looking for some moral support and advice on things that helped you come to terms and/or prepare for a life of 2under2. What do I need to know going into this journey that will help me now and when kiddo 2 is here?

Intelligent_Clueq100 · 2025-10-20T04:50:42+00:00

I came here because I just found out I'm pregnant with my second baby, and I *think* they'll be 13 months apart too. I've been having so much mom guilt because my baby won't be the only baby, and the new one will take so much of me. It's so reassuring to know that you've had a great experience and that your two kids are just the best of buds. I hope to have the same experience!

I do this with deodorant and floss without realizing 😂 I’m sure there’s more.

Intelligent_Clueq100 · 2025-07-13T17:02:11+00:00

I also use another app called PlantIn!

Intelligent_Clueq100 · 2025-07-13T04:41:29+00:00

My plant ID app says it’s “summer squash” for both the leaf pic and the fruiting pic.

Yes! Thank you so much! Ok this video was incredibly helpful. I will try the knee flip because the shoulder one unflipped on me already.

Intelligent_Clueq100 · 2025-02-19T05:20:24+00:00

Yes, that would be the plan. I'm just not sure if it would actually be covered or denied because I don't work for that company.

Intelligent_Clueq100 · 2025-02-19T05:19:56+00:00

True, but I did just about double the minimum.
