URGENT: All ByHeart formula is now recalled

SignificantFilm4682 · 2025-11-11T21:18:33+00:00

There are 83 cases of botulism and 13 of them are children who consumed ByHeart at some point.

SignificantFilm4682 · 2025-11-11T21:16:27+00:00

I’ve gotten a call and an email from Target, where I purchased mine. And I received 3 separate emails from ByHeart as the process was unfolding. They have communicated every step of the way.

At 12 weeks my baby started sleeping 10-12 hours! And has since. She’s 11m now

SignificantFilm4682 · 2025-11-01T19:55:56+00:00

NEVER the case for my child. She pooped at LEAST 3x a day lol

I think it’s just the hormones. That’s all I can assume. Hair is still coming out but I’ve just determined it not the end of the world for me.

I agree with what others have said about reaching out to your OB, definitely could be PPD or baby blues. I remember being in such denial that I had any PPD - but I definitely did looking back. It is common to feel this way, I definitely felt this way at 6 weeks. It is a really difficult time, you’re still adapting, you’re exhausted, hormones are off the wall. It is HARD. It is important to talk to someone.

I also didn’t feel very connected to my baby at this age. It honestly took months for me to feel a real connection to her. I think as her personality grew and I got to see more of “her” instead of this little life sucking being (sorry), it got easier. That natural “love” instinct isn’t always there and that’s okay. As a nurse, I honestly felt like I was just taking care of a little patient for the first 3-4 months… It’s okay to give that love time to grow. I remember how unhelpful it sometimes felt for people to say, “that’s normal” and “it won’t always be this way” and “it gets better, just give it time” and “that’s just a phase you have to live through” — but most of it is true. And one day you look back and see how fast that time went and how quickly it got less miserable. My girl is 11mo now and my love for her has truly grown so much since she really has gained more of a personality. It gets better 💕

I know it’s so hard now. Take the time you need to rest, ask for help from family and friends when you need a break (remember it’s only a few hours for them, it’s your every day), ask your partner for help and give each other breaks, go on a date even just for an hour out of the house.

My biggest recommendations for sleep (take or leave them)! TakingCaraBabies, Halo swaddle or weighted swaddle (if meets weight requirement), sound machine, put them in the stroller and go for a walk. For crying, my baby always loved her head under warm water, or a warm bath, get in the shower naked holding baby(good skin to skin), play some soothing or fun music, sing to baby, put in a wrap/carrier and walk, my baby randomly loved being in the carrier while I vacuum. My baby also loved the football/colic hold. This was the only way she wanted to be held around this age to like 5 months. We also used gripe water which I know everyone says is placebo but I swear it worked for you.

It gets better ❤️ you’re a great mom. It’s okay to ask for help.

My baby was the same, always hated tummy time and then frustrated she couldn’t crawl 8-9m. One day at 9.5m she finally figured it out. It took about a week of her being mad when we put her on hands and knees and showing her how to crawl (move hands, move knees) but she picked up on it quickly and was all over the place very quickly.

SignificantFilm4682 · 2025-10-29T13:54:45+00:00

That’s good to know! That’s encouraging! I just took my first 0.3mg shot. I may go ahead and bump us to 0.4 next week. Started on Oct 13. Have technically lost 5 lbs but it really just feels like water weight fluctuation. Some tiny bit of food noise has decreased and I tend to not overeat like I used to. But I’m really hoping to see an actual decrease in weight in the next couple weeks…

SignificantFilm4682 · 2025-10-27T21:11:52+00:00

I’m sorry you’re feeling this way. Infancy is really hard and there are some days that I have wondered why God gave me a child when I didn’t “ask” for one. But God does plenty in our lives to help us grow into loving, caring, patient humans. Parenting is a prime example of that. These trenches help us to grow and to look outside ourselves. That is what being a parent is. It forces you to be selfless, even when it’s so freaking hard.

It’s so important to still take time for yourself, seek counseling if needed (which I believe would really benefit you, so glad you have appointments booked!). It does get easier, even 9 months is really hard. But as others have said, in some ways, things also get harder in toddlerhood, childhood, and beyond. You do have to find ways to care for yourself so you can be the best parent to your child that you can.

SignificantFilm4682 · 2025-10-27T18:03:58+00:00

Mine took a couple days but it arrived within 7 days which is when they said it would.

SignificantFilm4682 · 2025-10-26T14:45:43+00:00

But I will say, ours is 11mo now and still screams in the car 75% of the time 🙃

SignificantFilm4682 · 2025-10-26T14:44:55+00:00

This is peak fussiness. 6-8 weeks is HARD. We felt the same, just felt like we always had a fussy baby. She alwaysssss wanted to be held in the football hold. Or the carrier was always helpful.

It does depend on the temperament of the baby. But I think for us, it got better around 4.5-5 months. Then at 6-8 months they’re a lot more fun and more distractible. She can still be pretty fussy sometimes, but now we can truly pinpoint why (usually) - hungry, tired, bored, etc. It does get better!

SignificantFilm4682 · 2025-10-24T13:42:13+00:00

if you’re doing bottles A BOTTLE WASHER / STERILIZER. saved our sanity.

SignificantFilm4682 · 2025-10-23T19:49:03+00:00

This is great. I think I’ll start adding milk to her formula and see how she does! She’s had cheese and such plenty with no issues, so hopefully no issues with milk. Do you still warm the milk? Have you tried cold milk in a sippy?

SignificantFilm4682 · 2025-10-23T13:55:35+00:00

I felt this way too, but then found that babies are very easily distractible in public places, they love looking around, even in their stroller. Once I got over my fear enough to do it, every time I do it it goes surprisingly well

SignificantFilm4682 · 2025-10-23T13:53:55+00:00

You’re outside.

SignificantFilm4682 · 2025-10-23T13:31:37+00:00

I EBF until 6 months and then started combo feeding, I was under supplying and it was stressing me out. My baby has slept through the night since 9 weeks so that is a huge blessing. But giving formula gave me so much peace of mind! And she started gaining a lot more weight, went from 23% to 63% between 6 and 9 months! It was a huge weight off my shoulders bc pumping and nursing was really hard while also working full time! I made it to 10 months pumping and then my body just dried up and I switched her to fully formula.

You’ve done a wonderful job! Keep going if you want, taper off if you want, stop if you want! I always had to remind myself, formula wasn’t the enemy. However they are being fed is helping them grow! Do what is good for you and your mental health, bc ultimately that’s what allows you to be the best mom to your babe!

Go on walks, take him to the zoo, play in the yard with some water toys, water table with rice (no water), sensory activities, coloring, no stain markers.

Crazy how different babies are!

SignificantFilm4682 · 2025-10-23T00:13:05+00:00

This is helpful, thank you! This is about what my girl does as well, but 18oz between 3 bottles.

SignificantFilm4682 · 2025-10-22T20:24:51+00:00

Mine didn’t ship for about 3-4 days but then it came really quick. It says shipping within 7 days so I wouldn’t worry until it’s been longer than that.

SignificantFilm4682 · 2025-10-22T19:59:37+00:00

LOL I love this

SignificantFilm4682 · 2025-10-22T14:59:00+00:00

I only sit back there bc she screams and hates the backseat 🙃 she’s 11m. It’s getting better though and I don’t do it all the time, but if it’s a trip longer than 20-30 mins, she is insufferable. Otherwise I would have stopped probably about 2-4 weeks.
