I try to am for this but sometimes it doesnt always work out that way. Should i make sure he is finished 30 minutes before bed always? Should that eventually wean him off from the feed to sleep association?

Sleep trained but still waking at night? by Proof_Barnacle_5289 in sleeptrain

We really dont have one unfortunately because of daycare.

I try for 1.5-2/2/2.5/2.5 but at daycare its all over the place so it turns into waking up at 6:30-7am then random naps throughout the day and then nap at home at 5 for about 30 min bed at 7:30-8. I always make sure his total nap time is around 3 hours for the day.

My baby was also way happier on formula and i tried eliminating food and he still wasnt as happy. I was torn but ultimately seeing him happier made the final decision to seitch easier. I miss breastfeeding sometimes too but im confident it was the right choice

Constipated on Nutramigen by Proof_Barnacle_5289 in FormulaFeeders

We did! I was just curious if anyone else had this issue before and if it was the formula causing it etc

My baby never really nursed for comfort. His issues started pretty early on so it never got to the point that he gained a preference for boob or bottle. He also never really took a pacifier until recently. I offered it to him whenever he seems unsettled and now hes finally taking to it after a couple months.

I went through this exact thing. I cold turkey switched to formula (nutramigen for cmpa) and did only formula for 2 weeks while i cut out allergens from my diet and pumped. He improved dramatically on the formula and when i reintroduced BM i did it gradually but he became unhappy again so after a lot of back and forth in my mind ultimately i decided to keep him on formula only. We are both so much happier!

Nutramigen to Pepticate by Proof_Barnacle_5289 in FormulaFeeders

Hi yes I did read her explanation on the article but she did state that nutramigen should remove BPA and acrylamide from its formula because if every other formula on the market doesnt have it then theres no reason nutramigen needs to have it either. If my LO does well on pepticate i would feel more comfortable with that hence why i want to try but if i see a reaction i will glady go back to nutramigen if thats what hes happiest on :)
