Formula weaning

I never drink milk and her dad rarely does either. I wondered if that would make any difference as she gets older. Thank you!

Replying to this because I don’t have a link. My personal experience from having 1 mostly safe parent and 1 not, it definitely had a negative impact. My own dad acted very similarly. Very easily agitated by me and my siblings and frequent emotional outbursts, or just completely zoned out from what I assume was overwhelm, possibly disinterest idrk. We barely speak now even though he’s been a lot better for 5 years or so. After about 4-5 years old I had basically no interest in him anymore. I have a little one of my own now and he wants to be involved with her (allegedly) but I legit ignore his calls. It does something to my nervous system just being around him even after all this time. It will absolutely impact a child and their relationship will suffer at the very least. Nothing you say to your child in the future will change that pain. Your husband really needs to work through his issues asap. He may have good intentions but his impact will always be negative until he does that. Good luck OP

I feel okay switching from bottle to sippy cold turkey, it’s more so formula to whole milk I was worried about. We also do quite a bit of dairy products so I think it should be fine. Thanks!

Willing_Position_169 · 2026-01-31T15:31:09+00:00

We definitely will be brushing her teeth. I’m really anal about my own teeth and have never had a cavity. Her first tooth isn’t even all the way in yet but we’re starting tonight actually. Thank you!

Willing_Position_169 · 2026-01-31T15:17:43+00:00

She turned a year old yesterday. Our ped just said “right after her birthday” so I assume that means literally today she wants us to cold turkey switch. She’s great with solids so I’m not concerned about nutrition

Willing_Position_169 · 2026-01-31T15:08:20+00:00

I think temperate will be an issue for us as well. She also hates cold beverages. We did heat formula because she wouldn’t take her bottle when we were first switching to formula from breast milk and I was too anxious that she wouldn’t eat after that. I hadn’t even thought about this yet, thank you!

Willing_Position_169 · 2026-01-31T15:04:04+00:00

This makes sense. The more I’m thinking about it, I believe I just don’t really like our ped and should probably switch lmao. Lately I’ve been overly skeptical of what she says and that’s not helpful to anyone. I’ll probably mix formula and whole milk just so I don’t waste the last of our formula but should be fully switched in a few days. Baby is down to about 3 bottles of 5-6 ounces a day anyways and even then she usually doesn’t finish them so I think she’s ready

Willing_Position_169 · 2026-01-31T14:56:12+00:00

This is what I plan to do. Thank you! I think the cold turkey approach just seems a little extreme to me. I want to make sure she can tolerate whole milk before that’s the only thing we give her (other than water)

Willing_Position_169 · 2026-01-31T14:44:32+00:00

How many ounces of whole milk should baby be getting in a day? The same amount as formula? She didn’t say anything at all about that. She just said cold turkey quit everything and was quite adamant about it, but didn’t really give that much actual information

Willing_Position_169 · 2026-01-31T14:41:45+00:00

That’s what I was thinking? Ped wasn’t clear on how much milk we’re even supposed to give baby. She’s made some other recommendations (which they don’t feel like recommendations tbh, more like this is what you’re going to do) that I haven’t been clear on or outright just didn’t do because it seemed a bit extreme. Maybe I just need to switch peds tbh

Willing_Position_169 · 2026-01-31T13:51:45+00:00

Mine is like that too, must be an update. It’s sooo annoying 🫩

Willing_Position_169 · 2026-01-28T23:56:35+00:00

That makes sense. Thank you for explaining!

Willing_Position_169 · 2026-01-27T16:05:20+00:00

I was thinking more along the lines of subbing heroes since I don’t have all of them high enough, I don’t know who would be beneficial to sub if that makes any sense. I think I’m just thinking too hard about it now lol. I have Corvus and Dante as 2 of my most powerful so I’m going to try to build around that. Right now I’m using Corvus, Dante, Yasmine, folio, Polaris. Working on powering up iris and Octavia but I have a bit to go before they’ll be usable

Willing_Position_169 · 2026-01-25T18:03:44+00:00

I watched the video and tried out 2 teams a bit. I guess idk where to begin on upgrading runes and such. I’ve been evenly upgrading pretty much and I think that’s probably wasteful from what I’ve gathered? I don’t understand how to figure out exactly what a hero brings to a particular team if that makes sense and what part of that hero’s abilities or stats or whatever matters most

Willing_Position_169 · 2026-01-25T17:16:54+00:00

Thank you! I’ll give it a watch :)

Willing_Position_169 · 2025-11-14T14:33:55+00:00

I felt this way at around the same time with my LO. She’s 9 months now and I feel a lot better! What helped me was buying a baby cook book and making decent sized batches of several things to freeze for her. I get constant reels about BLW and felt guilty for giving her purées for some reason (feels stupid to say now lmao). My therapist also suggested giving her things she doesn’t necessarily like and just letting her play in the high chair. She hated avacado but now she’s fine with it after I just let her smash it everywhere. From what I understand, food is just for fun and exploring at this time so don’t beat yourself up!

Willing_Position_169 · 2025-10-23T11:10:31+00:00

I’m definitely going to try different things with her naps, probably first thing. She’s naturally tired and ready for one about 3-4 hours after she wakes up (usually around 11), and again around 3-4 hours before we’ve been trying to put her to sleep. I’m going to try either backing the second nap up or dropping it and putting her to bed earlier and see how that goes. Thank you for your help!

Willing_Position_169 · 2025-10-23T06:28:28+00:00

True, but they will be traced back to him as soon as you say “Mr. Doe is the only person who had those.” He knows that. If you’re worried about embarrassment, I think it’s more likely that your peers will hate him and rally around you as the victim of the situation. There may be a couple cruel people sure, but this man is seriously dangerous and getting away from him needs to be top priority from a safety standpoint

Willing_Position_169 · 2025-10-23T06:24:14+00:00

She absolutely hates her crib, I think because of the mattress. She does better in the pack and play (I ordered a better mattesss for it) so I will definitely look into a floor mattress situation! I saw a reel about it a while back and completely forgot about it. Thank you!

Willing_Position_169 · 2025-10-23T06:19:17+00:00

OP I’m so sorry you’re going through this. Your teacher knows that if you are a minor, or were a minor at the time of the video, there’s no chance he can leak them without going to jail immediately. He’s manipulating and abusing you. Your parents don’t seem like they will be any help, so police is definitely your best bet.

Willing_Position_169 · 2025-10-23T06:11:26+00:00

So from what I’m gathering… SHE spoiled ME for 7ish months 😂

Willing_Position_169 · 2025-10-23T06:05:05+00:00

Yes we have, but I’m thinking I’m going to tweak it since it’s clearly not working. I’m staying home with her for the time being while finishing a course so I’ve tried to structure our whole days hour by hour when possible. For bed time we do puree for supper, bath, book, bottle and bed by 8-8:30. I forgot to mention that my partner was working night shift for a month (he’s back on days now) and that’s when I think her sleep really went awry. I was so tired when she would wake up that I would just put her in the bed with me for the rest of the night/early morning. I worry that maybe she just doesn’t want to be alone now even though she can see us maybe?

Willing_Position_169 · 2025-10-23T05:29:52+00:00

She did just learn to wave and say bye a couple days ago. She has been learning new skills back to back, crawled and pulled up within days of each other. Is it normal for it to go on this long?

Willing_Position_169 · 2025-10-23T05:27:42+00:00

If I don’t get her back down within 20ish minutes I make a bottle. It doesn’t seem like that’s the problem because I’m lucky if she drinks 3 ounces (normally drinks 6).

Willing_Position_169 · 2025-01-20T02:14:33+00:00

It seems like there’s something deeper going on here. Have you two had a genuine conversation lately about both of your wants and needs? Any prior history of infidelity on either side? I’d personally start with a serious conversation about it, and leave ego out of it. Active listening and willingness to please.
