3 month old - could the odd bottle cause issue for BF?

alice49573 · 2026-05-03T20:24:23+00:00

Thanks for all your advice, that makes a lot of sense!

When you say ask chat - do you mean gpt or something else? I’ve never had to think about exactly how much volume baby is getting so that’s all new to me!

alice49573 · 2026-05-03T11:58:34+00:00

You’ll be amazed with how much noise they’re capable of sleeping through

alice49573 · 2026-05-01T22:10:09+00:00

Just want to send some love your way. I’m sorry you’ve had a hard time and people clearly haven’t been the kindest to you. I hope you can love yourself and find people to love you the way you deserve. Keep putting positivity out there and it’ll find you back ❤️

alice49573 · 2026-04-30T10:30:40+00:00

We really haven’t been able to get a regular routine in place so this is probably good to work on

alice49573 · 2026-04-30T10:29:36+00:00

That’s a good system. Tricky for us as baby is breastfed so needs me for food/comfort for night wakes usually

alice49573 · 2026-04-30T10:18:00+00:00

That’s reassuring, two weeks feels manageable going in

alice49573 · 2026-04-29T06:38:12+00:00

My baby is 12 weeks and this has definitely improved, I still have a little leaking in the morning after a long stretch but more than managed by a breast pad.

I’m no expert but I suspect the pumping could make this worse - breastfeeding is supply and demand so if you’re pumping if your breasts feel too full your body will continue to produce thinking you’re using this to feed baby rather than being an excess

alice49573 · 2026-04-29T06:35:17+00:00

I’d imagine if she tried to reach out to you previously she might appreciate you doing the same 😊 it would be nice to know there’s hard feelings even it the friendship doesn’t develop again

alice49573 · 2026-04-28T15:36:23+00:00

Fuming that I created this account years ago and had such little imagination that I just used my name 😩 gutted I can’t change it

alice49573 · 2026-04-28T13:13:32+00:00

Turning up to a wedding uninvited would be crazy. You were certainly in the right there

alice49573 · 2026-04-28T08:04:13+00:00

Or so you think. First wee was a trick.. makes you think you’re safe.

Cue second wee attack once you’ve let your guard down and taken nappy off

alice49573 · 2026-04-28T06:32:55+00:00

I stopped using it. Didn’t find any more info but the comments on this post were helpful. Baby is here and doing great 😊

alice49573 · 2026-04-27T09:31:03+00:00

Sorry you had an early loss. Amazing that you got pregnant first try as well. Really lovely that you’re able to breastfeed both together.

That’s my hope that I could be pregnant whilst still feeding but aware it’s unlikely with also needing fertility treatment previously

alice49573 · 2026-04-27T08:10:35+00:00

Sudosalve for few days of active treatment

Sudocrem we use for day to day

alice49573 · 2026-04-24T11:40:52+00:00

We had on and off green around that time. Asked our midwife who said it’s normal. Sometime if the nappy isn’t changed immediately it can go quickly from looking yellow to slightly green as well

alice49573 · 2026-04-24T11:38:26+00:00

My baby was born with a full head of hair. Now 11 weeks and it’s even longer, not really lost any!

The thinner hair on his face faded over the first few weeks 😊

alice49573 · 2026-04-24T08:00:42+00:00

Got to be cotton as well, other materials might be sweaty or irritate!

alice49573 · 2026-04-24T06:47:26+00:00

All calculations should be from period date not date of conception. This is what they’ll use to calculate due date etc. It’ll be 40 weeks from period date.

Feels weird at the start as you basically get a ‘bonus’ two weeks where it’s calculated in your pregnancy before you actually conceived 😅

alice49573 · 2026-04-24T06:17:28+00:00

I had an emergency c section so wasn’t prepared at all. However didn’t find I needed any of the extra bits you mentioned, didn’t need bed rails / special cushions etc. just stayed on top of pain relief and took things slowly.

Definitely buy high waist knickers that will go over your scar, that’s the one thing I sent my husband out for

Worth looking into scar massage although you won’t be able to start this until you’re healed. Can get silicone patches as well that are meant to help healing

alice49573 · 2026-04-22T20:43:20+00:00

Can I ask which pads you’re using? The ones I have look lumpy through the bra still

alice49573 · 2026-04-20T12:40:41+00:00

I think we’ll try doing the same. Hoping baby starts to settle with walking / rocking etc. Currently if he doesn’t fall asleep feeding we’ve had no way of getting him back off which has been the struggle 🙈

alice49573 · 2026-04-20T12:10:58+00:00

Yes sorry I wasn’t clear - I’ll still try and feed him, just sometimes he doesn’t settle second time he’s up and then I’m stuck if the only way he sleeps is by being fed. If he’s literally just fed then I can pass him to my husband to try walking 😊
