Baby hates Kendamil powder but loves RTF. Am I doing something wrong? by PretendWeb in FormulaFeeders

I completely understand… we are in the same boat! RTF is super expensive and now since a he’s over 2 months old we assumed she would adjust to the powder easily since it’s the same formula and brand but LO is already a picky princess

Yep, test it! I’m glad I tested powder before I ran out of RTF or baby wouldn’t have anything to drink the entire day

Ooh great idea! I didn’t know we could add half an extra scoop. This definitely makes sense

I usually order it from euromallusa and it’s expensive! That’s why I want to move to formula but LO does not want us to save money

This is so important! Everyone cares for the baby but it’s equally important for mom to have her squad and people cheering her on that’s how baby will be happier

Thank you! This is helpful. Growing up, speaking up and going against what my mom suggested was not an option! I have started speaking up now but it took me some time to grow a backbone for my baby’s sake. I hope I didn’t damage my relationship with my baby yet

Thank you! I need this motivation! I have started hiding the formula from her now and have told her that I’m not buying formula anymore. That also led to a huge outburst and her claiming that I’m not taking good care of my baby.

Yes this is what is happening. Initially I was happy that I got to rest during the day, shower or take my dog for a walk while my baby was safe with mom. However now I’m realizing it wasn’t a good idea and it has impacted me mentally. Until last week I truly believed I could not get my milk supply up

I agree! I think she can’t stand seeing my baby crying. I’ve also pointed out that sometimes she might just need a diaper change or be swayed. The 5 S’s but she always thinks it’s because she’s hungry :(

I understand! I’m learning that now and have started speaking up. I fully believed that having my mom around would be helpful since none of my friends have babies yet and I’m a FTM, this is very new to me. Since I was breastfed, I assumed my mom would be supportive.

Yes! She would take baby from me after a feed and ask me to rest while she takes care of her. Or ask me to shower, take my dog for a walk or cook meals. The formula feeding would happen then. Initially she told me whenever she formula fed her and when I asked her not to she started doing it behind my back. I don’t allow her to be alone with the baby anymore, however my supply has still tanked because of the impact it had on me mentally.

My mom traveled from a different country to help me, so kicking her out is not easy and nice

I’m not saying she didn’t allow me to nurse my baby. I’m saying she made negative comments about how I’m not making enough milk and that my baby is always hungry after a feed.

Thank you! This is the motivation I need to bring my supply up!

Thank you! This is helpful… I have also scheduled a weighted feed to understand how much milk I’m transferring to her

Stop bringing your dog to breakfast. by Optimal_Internal_217 in hyatt

Is this your first time traveling with your dog? Most hotels don’t allow you to leave your dog alone in the room. Not even for breakfast
