ADVICE NEEDED!!!!
My daughter is 3mo and exclusively breastfed. I produce more than enough milk for her, but I want to know about formula.
I heard that formula helps babies sleep longer and I am gettin ready to go back to work next month, so I'm considering doing formula at night
Does anyone do this? EBF with a bottle of formula a night? If so please tell me how it works for you, and how your LO handles it. Thanks so much in advance.
I started giving my baby formula with a bit of cereal at 4 months and that’s when she started sleeping more before her belly was fuller. But when I which from breath milk to formula nothing happened. She just wanted milk faster because she knew I could make more faster plus I think she liked the taste better lol
It’s not true. Sleeping through the night is a developmental milestone that babies will hit when they are ready. It’s not dependent on what they’re eating. Formula is harder to digest and could be hard on your daughter’s stomach, which could cause her to be up more because she’s so uncomfortable. Plus, not feeding at night could impact your supply.
No definitely not!! I dont ff but I know that babies wont sleep differently with different milk or food. If shes never had formula it could also upset her tummy before bed and keep her up. Sleep is a learned skill. Shes still way too young to sleep better. I'd suggest just trying to keep a routine as much as possible, have someone else do bedtime/nights if you can
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
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. ?
Starting TWW. Anyone else?
I had a stillborn daughter at 38 weeks this passed Nov. This is my second month ttc. (Last month we only tried for like two weeks though). My last and only pregnancy, I got pregnant the first month of ttc so I hope it's quick this time again.
If your baby is ebf it’s unlikely she will even take a bottle of formula. For one, it’s a bottle and most ebf babies prefer nursing, especially to fall asleep. And two, formula tastes way different than breast milk and she might not even like it. Also it’ll probably upset her stomach which will keep her up during the night.
You can’t force a baby to sleep longer. They all do it eventually, and when they’re a little older you can sleep train them and help them to self soothe. There’s a huge sleep regression at 4 months but not all babies go thru it. My daughter did and she woke up every hour and it was rough. My son on the other hand didn’t experience it at all and has been sleeping 9-10 hours at night since he turned 3 months. You just never know.
