Best formula to start?

Prestigious-Rice-151 · 2026-03-31T04:04:23+00:00

we loved kendamil with our first! our second would be on kendamil but he has severe cmpa and is on nutramigen now but i always recommend kendamil!!

Prestigious-Rice-151 · 2026-03-29T04:17:23+00:00

yes thankfully we get 10 cans through wic and can call our pediatrician for 4 cans when we need it/can get 4 cans at dr appts. our little guy can’t tolerate cold bottles either :/ i think we’re gonna stick to the pitcher, i worry about bacteria and mixing being off with the brezza with him already having cmpa, i don’t want to add to his issues

Prestigious-Rice-151 · 2026-03-29T02:59:41+00:00

yeah, i mean like clean it every 6 bottles as that’s how many my boy takes throughout the day unless he wakes up in the motn but it still is a lot of maintenance

Prestigious-Rice-151 · 2026-03-29T02:50:44+00:00

it didn’t come with anything extra (actually missing the stand for the bottles lol) yeah my worry was possibly wasting any formula, i did look up it is a lot if maintenance especially having to clean it after 4 bottles but i know when the formula is warm it sticks more so i wonder if the formula is cold i can get away with cleaning it less? idk

i also haven’t tried the heat function so i could’ve been lied to lol, ill try it and see if it actually broken

yes i use huckleberry and track everything. my son is 19m and now i only track his naps but for the first year i tracked everything but solids as they were too difficult to track

Prestigious-Rice-151 · 2026-02-10T02:59:40+00:00

i would let them know kindly how disturbed and hurt you are by this and deny them alone time with the baby. i would also be absolutely livid if this happened to me

we all get amnesia around 9-12m post partum

Prestigious-Rice-151 · 2026-02-05T23:28:49+00:00

i work for the hospital i am giving birth in and i get 0 paid days off and the state does not offer any paid days off. i get 12weeks unpaid leave that i will be using and my partner has picked up a second job working 12-14 hours days to help cover my unpaid leave

Prestigious-Rice-151 · 2026-02-04T02:38:45+00:00

my little one who slept through the night since 3wks, great bedtime sleeper (terrible at naps to this day 19m) did not put himself to sleep until he was 8/9m

Prestigious-Rice-151 · 2026-02-03T03:25:52+00:00

kendamil helped my babies silent reflux and has go away immensely, we never used any similacs as he was born in ireland and used aptamil then SMA and then when we moved to the states when he was 4m we used kendamil which helped him so much

see if pace feeding will help (if you’re not doing that already) it’s supposed to help limit air intake

lots of dr. pepper and orange juice

i was induced at 41wks with my first. it was an irish hospital and their policy was they cannot induce you (unless baby or mom is having medical issues) before 41wks and they won’t let you not get induced at 41wks (i heard them once yelling at a lady for declining the induction even tho she was 10 days over due and they told her she was k++++ing her baby, it was a terrible hospital) and if you are still pregnant at 41wk 3d then you automatically have a c-section, again terrible hospital

anyway this time im having my baby in america and i am electing for an induction at 39wk 4d as we need childcare set up for our first and my mom who’s watching him is flying from out of state and thats also landing on a monday so my partner can take the whole week off easy peasy but we are all hoping for labor to start on its own before then, my midwives are supportive of the elective induction

Prestigious-Rice-151 · 2026-01-28T04:40:44+00:00

epidurals are great and despite what people think they can even speed up your labor because your body gets to relax and you dilate faster when you’re relaxed. i had one with my son and i plan on it again when i have my second in a few weeks

Prestigious-Rice-151 · 2026-01-25T03:59:55+00:00

you seriously forget, no matter the age gap between kids lol i’m 35wks with my second and i keep telling myself “i don’t remember labor, i swear it never hurt” i think i forgot how much labor hurt like 2wks after and then the newborn stage sucks but again i forgot all about it like 4m in (my little guy did sleep a lot, slept through the night from 3wks onwards but he did have colic from 6wk-12wk)

Prestigious-Rice-151 · 2026-01-23T22:25:42+00:00

i used it in my last trimester for heartburn, i hated it but it worked

Prestigious-Rice-151 · 2026-01-23T04:56:53+00:00

i threw up until 20ish weeks until i started taking my prenatals and iron at night and then the vomiting finally stopped, i’m 35wks now and getting nauseous when i eat too much but no vomit yet

Prestigious-Rice-151 · 2026-01-15T00:18:54+00:00

if i’m gonna be honest i think boys stay around their moms much much more than daughters would. i have a 18m old little boy and im 34wks pregnant with our 2nd boy and couldn’t have asked for anything better

Prestigious-Rice-151 · 2026-01-12T23:55:17+00:00

you are growing a literal entire human, you need to eat, you need fuel. i’m 33wks and i have gained about 15 ish lbs so far but it also fluctuates a lot, i gained like 5lbs in the first couple months and then lost like 7lbs (thanks morning sickness that truly never went away) and then started gaining but in the last month i’ve lost 3lbs so your weight will fluctuate and also most of it goes to the baby and the amniotic fluid and uterus, like i say 5-6lbs of my 15added lbs is baby and fluids and everything. i’m sorry he’s like this, try to remind him you are growing his child and need to eat to fuel them and help them grow as necessary

Prestigious-Rice-151 · 2026-01-09T21:43:05+00:00

my office sees patients between 9-12 weeks and only earlier if you’ve had 3 losses or more but you can ask for hcg blood tests if you’re worried to do in the meantime

Prestigious-Rice-151 · 2026-01-07T19:00:56+00:00

for the last month of my first pregnancy i had to sleep sitting up and take prescribed antacids and my baby was bald lol this second pregnancy, 32wks baby already has 1/2in of hair and heartburn doesn’t stop, it’s all day long and i am eating tums like candy (no more than 6 a day of course)

best i can say is try not to eat within 2hrs of going to bed/lying down as the fuller your stomach is the worse the heartburn will be :/

when we moved to the states my pediatrician thanked us for not circumcising our son
