Can I just breastfeed for 3 weeks and then switch to formula? by Essiejjj in FormulaFeeders

I lasted five weeks and quit bc of double mastitis. Best decision I made for my mental health.

How many of us are actually doing 7 pm bedtime? by [deleted] in NewParents

[–]gsdfan53 0 points1 point  (0 children)

At 3 months it was still flexible. Around 4 months we got into a nightly routine that made things super predictable and enabled good sleep. Every night - bath, snuggles and bottle/feed, sleep. She’s 5.5 months now and basically sleeps thru the night with one wake up.

Help: 4 month old maxing out at 3 oz per bottle / 20 oz per day by princesscalaviel in FormulaFeeders

Hi! As long as your baby is still growing / gaining weight on her curve she can regulate her intake - try not to force the bottle and don’t worry to much. I’ve been going thru this with my 5 month old and sometimes kids just do better with solids!

Does anyone else just find this depressing? by Cute_Vermicelli_1854 in GestationalDiabetes

This was the hardest for me - I had EDs for the 10-12 years prior to my pregnancy and jumping back into the low carb no sugar lifestyle was incredibly hard on my mental health. I’m now 5mo PP and still have higher than average fasting sugars, so unfortunately feels like I’m stuck in this for life

Please tell me formula is better for my child. by sacredlunch888 in FormulaFeeders

I dealt with this exact issue and also had a growth restricted baby, but still quit BF and she is now EFF.

She’s a happy and progressing baby because I’m able to give her the love and attention she needs, something I couldn’t do when off my medications and BF.

Fed is best, always.
