So I breastfeed my 5 week old & sometimes I give her my milk in a bottle, I try to just give her 3 oz. because the lactation consultant said I should just be giving her an oz. for every hour she hasn't eaten but she eats every 2 hours so it's already an ounce more but sometimes I feel like she doesn't get full 😏 would it be bad to give her more? Considering she's only 5 weeks? 😬

I feed my daughter until she was full. I never followed the doctors when they said she should only drink x amount. Just because every baby is different so I don't believe they can possible know whats the right amount for my daughter if their not the one whos caring for her.
She told me "when she's on your breasts let her feed however long she wants but only feed her an oz. for every hour she hasn't eaten when giving her from a bottle" I was like wth that doesn't make sense lol
Yeah I would think it would be the same because I know when I breastfeed she drinks more than 3 oz. but that's what she told me ??? When she doesn't get full with the bottle I feed her from my breasts afterwards though but yeah I guess I'll start putting more in her bottle lol @sarahb518 @kasieerin
same.. I feed with a bottle with only breastmilk and I let her eat until she doesn't want it anymore..
I would say feed her til she's full. It's not good to only give your baby x amount of ounces of they are still hungry after. I EBF but I don't make my baby stop. I wait til she unlaches herself. I would say the same rule applies for bottle feeding.
TWW!!
2dpo and on the tww journey. Anyone on the same dpo or close? Haven't decided if I will test at 12dpo or just wait and see if she shows up!!

Transgender children
So I just learned that in my kids school district (my kids aren't in school yet my oldest will be starting kindergarten next September) there are twin boys who identify as girls. They are 5 years old. What's your opinions on this matter given they are 5!!! I don't believe that at that age they really understand the whole thing. So the entire school had to take a course on how to handle transgender children. For example they can't say girls go this or boys do that. What are...
Science!
My friend posted this on facebook last night and said her kids were asleep within minutes. It's a song that scientists created to help people fall asleep. I was skeptical but I thought what the hay, I'll try it out. I didn't bank on Dh falling asleep, but both him and lo were asleep by minute 2. And lo slept six straight hours. ?
I pump 8oz bottles and they're usually gone within 6-8 hours it works perfectly for me!! I can't imagine why it wouldn't work for you!!
