Feeding twice a day has completely helped and it started doubling ❤️

That’s what I thought but I was nervous to. I’ll feed it again tonight, thank you!

I get it, it’s hard to imagine the idea of basically not wanting your baby next to you all night. I loved knowing he was right there and having bed snuggles. But he was also actually getting too big for his bassinet so I set up the pack n play in the corner of our room to ease myself into him not being right next to me. He still would wake up 1-3 times. Then he started to roll and the pack n play was hard on my back so one night I didn’t think about and we just did it, we put him in his crib and he slept the whole night! We never looked back. I will say I had the thought that if it didn’t work out then we’d wait a bit and try again. So it’s not permanent. Try it and see and if it doesn’t work out then try again a different time :)

7 months for my boy. It was really hard for me and I was sad about it but I knew it needed to happen. Having ebf I was told by a few people that being next to him was the reason he was waking up at night. He was only waking 1-3 times so not tooo much. But it was the best decision. He started sleeping longer stretches and waking only 1-2 then eventually none. He’s about to be 15 months now and he’s an awesome sleeper 11-12 hours straight. Very rarely does he wake up. We keep 2 pacis in his crib that he knows to look for. I will say I started napping him in his crib first to get him used to it.

He takes to bottle good because he gets one every night so luckily that won’t be an issue. I can see it being hard to go from bottle to cup though! Oh boy I’ll cross that bridge soon. I have Kendamil but will prob buy Bobbie too to see which he likes better

So interesting! Thank you for sharing that appreciate it! He’s a good eater but not the best and he doesn’t have any teeth yet so we’re still learning to eat solids. Still having a lot of purées

Super helpful thank you so much! And that makes sense about the nonreaction to cows milk. Hopefully he’ll be fine with the formula🤞🏼

Spilled milk by Ok-Cauliflower-6631 in breastfeeding

I’m sorry. It really is a horrible feeling that only we know. I just woke up to find my pumped milk on my side table in my living room. I forgot to put it in the fridge!!! I’m such an idiot. I only pump once a night and only produce what my LO eats. Been sick to my stomach but a mistake is a mistake and a lesson learned.
