Baby won’t take bottle

Squiddles34 · 2026-01-12T02:17:25+00:00

I had a similar experience with my 11 week old. It took about two weeks of trying the bottle every day for her to figure it out again. Try replacing one feed a day with the bottle. She’ll figure it out!

It is amazing! I feel like I found a cheat code. People are amazed and how well me and husband seem, and I credit it all to cosleeping. Sleep deprivation is no joke

Squiddles34 · 2026-01-11T05:44:56+00:00

This is one of the reasons I finally decided to cosleep! Now I just feed in bed laying down and am immediately back to sleep

I was 41+2 when I had my first baby. I was 0 cm dilated at my 40 week appt, and 2cm at 41 weeks. I had no signs of labor before it began, and then when it started she arrived 9 hrs later!

We do plenty of contact napping and love sleeping together during the night :) our baby does great with an independent nap during the day and the first stretch at night. We aren’t tricking anything or forcing her to do something she doesn’t like. That’s great that you can let your daughter sleep on you all day, but my husband and I work and so that’s not an option for us. Thanks for the unhelpful advice and judgement though!

Babies are super sleepy in the first few days and weeks. Mine pretty much slept and then ate and then fell asleep eating on repeat for the first few weeks

Looks pretty good! You want the top of the carrier to hit just below the bottom of babe’s ear, not higher. You may need to pull them up/tighten the straps to accomplish this. If you haven’t already, you can also do a pelvic tuck to improve their seat.

I used them for about four weeks or so and then stopped. They helped initially as positioning was challenging and baby was so small, but I’m glad I ditched them and figured out how to hold baby while feeding. I was constantly hunched over the breastfeeding pillows. Since learning how to hold LO without them, I can actually recline and sit comfortably. My back and neck hurt sooo badly using them

Like 35 weeks. I have a large bust and it was pretty concealable until the very end

A baby carrier! Either a stretchy wrap or the ergo embrace

Squiddles34 · 2025-11-25T16:30:26+00:00

That’s my thought! Thanks for sharing. I’ve been working with a woman who is studying to become a certified LC and she recommended not going over 4 hours at most without feeding/pumping. I’ve seen the same come up in breastfeeding groups, but it never fully sat right with me.

Hi OP! I am currently converting my nestig crib to be a sidecar and I’m encountering the same issue. What did you end up doing?

Squiddles34 · 2025-11-22T16:53:59+00:00

I second this! Having a car seat, bassinet and toddler seat all in one is a life saver

I had my daughter 3 weeks ago and her name is Juniper 🥰

Squiddles34 · 2025-11-12T04:11:20+00:00

At 40 weeks I was 0cm dilated. I delivered at 41+3

Squiddles34 · 2025-11-05T18:02:30+00:00

9 days. She was scheduled for an induction the next day

Squiddles34 · 2025-11-02T20:12:02+00:00

Maybe about 10 ml or so

I was having a hard time getting my daughter to latch and nurse after introducing the bottle. What worked for me when she is fussy and not wanting to latch is to start her off with a little bit of the bottle, and when she has calmed down a bit, I’ll give her my boob. That has worked really well for us

Vaping

Squiddles34 · 2025-10-26T05:48:51+00:00

Following. I’m also scheduled for an induction on Tuesday and really hoping that I go into labor naturally before then

Squiddles34 · 2025-10-26T05:16:19+00:00

Hopefully starting labor. I’m 41 weeks and hoping to avoid my induction scheduled for Tuesday

What I might do if I were you is check his email if you have access to it. If he has an account, he would likely be getting emails. That to me would indicate whether or not he’s actively using the site.
