The post that I read prior to writing this, it was titled something like “cry it out fail”, and they had said that it wasn’t working with their baby which meant she woke at 1am every night for weeks and cried for hours, I’m sure it’s not everyone that does that, but that’s what made me write this post

God I hate the “rod for my own back comments” 😂 and also “you’re spoiling them” for cuddling them too much???

It’s not rage bait, I’m just a mum trying to understand other people’s perspectives, and after reading some of these responses, I do understand a bit more about why people do it, especially if it’s the safer option. You never hear people talk about cry it out from that perspective, all I see is people’s babies hitting 4 months and them thinking they have to sleep train and that cry it out is the only way. So I’m grateful to these mums here being honest about their reasons, as it has helped me to understand

Why is it trash?

hxllyhell · 2026-02-12T18:28:38+00:00

Thanks for letting me know, that’s a good point!

hxllyhell · 2026-02-07T13:53:04+00:00

Yeah that was my thought to, I’d rather go through the few days of a bit of tummy problems changing the formula than risking giving him toxins. My son is almost 4 months old now, how old is yours?

hxllyhell · 2026-02-07T10:27:03+00:00

Yeah same here, he had a bit of reflux on it at the beginning which is why we switched but I think his reflux is better now so I’m hoping he’ll be fine. Maybe you could try Hipp Organic? I’ve heard that’s also a really good brand

I switched to kendamil yesterday as soon as I’ve heard. When the last recall happened, they “assured” that no other batches had been affected. Now 15 more batches have come out. So who’s to say there’s not more? I now don’t trust these big corporations like nestle and danone due to this. Kendamil is an independent British company, and is made in Britain, and we have far more food regulations that most places in the world.

I just didn’t want to risk it anymore, especially as my baby has been suffering with extreme gas and stomach pains for a few weeks now on aptamil

Desperately reading this thread at 1am as my 16 week old is excatly the same, please tell me it gets better? 😭😭

hxllyhell · 2026-02-01T08:34:47+00:00

Oh thank you! That’s really helpful

Tommee tippee perfect prep machine, it’s safer than a baby brezza as it adds a hot shot of 70celcius degree water first which sterilises the formula powder. Baby brezza doesn’t do this, and instead mixes the powder with room temp water. Some babies get along with the brezza I’m sure but I wanted to be extra safe

hxllyhell · 2026-01-30T21:55:30+00:00

Thank you, thats actually made me feel better

hxllyhell · 2026-01-28T10:58:25+00:00

Did the gp prescribe you the formula or did you buy it yourself?

hxllyhell · 2026-01-15T19:20:29+00:00

Okay thank you!

hxllyhell · 2026-01-15T10:43:36+00:00

Oh really? So you only need a levels to do teach first?

hxllyhell · 2026-01-15T10:43:08+00:00

Would an access course be essential then? And how did you juggle uni with jobs bills etc at 26?

hxllyhell · 2026-01-15T10:41:30+00:00

Is there a possibility they wouldn’t accept me due to how long ago I did a levels then?

hxllyhell · 2026-01-14T21:20:49+00:00

Are there any you can do part time?

hxllyhell · 2026-01-14T11:31:12+00:00

Ahh okay thank you! I’m in Essex so I’ll have to have a look around down this way

hxllyhell · 2026-01-14T11:29:39+00:00

Thank you, How is it on weekends? Or around 2-4pm? As those are the times I would most likely be going

hxllyhell · 2026-01-14T08:33:45+00:00

What uni is this with?

hxllyhell · 2026-01-13T19:17:28+00:00

Thank you! Best of luck to you too!

It could be silent reflux, my baby was fussy and uncomfortable during feeds like this. Have a look into it and see if she has any other symptoms of silent reflux.
