@clstan That's exactly how we use ours, although we're probably going to cut out car rides with we get the next size car seat. My only worry is a friend has told me that they remember when their dummy was taken away, so I don't want to wait too long.

@sh419ob My baby was born early and for premature babies they recommended introducing a dummy straight away to help them learn to suck. The doctors were very supportive of breastfeeding and never thought this was an issue. We successfully breastfed when she was big enough and used a dummy from...

@weeze We went from pumping to breast feeding & I was similarly making 1000ml per day. Breastfeeding started with she weighed 4lbs so I definitely made loads extra. The hospital lactation consultant told me to reduce pumping by just pumping a little bit to take the edge off the discomfort of...

@themadbaron At 2 months we also went through a phase of no daytime sleep - 45 min naps are much better then we were getting then. But they will start to lengthen again before long. If baby isn't upset & is getting good sleep at night, then you don't need to worry about how much sleep they...

@empt2 We didn't have any change for the 4 month one, and we're all good until 8 months where we're back to 4 wake ups a night

@stay_tattd4_lyfe We had cake for my 27 weeker's actual birthday but we don't have any digestive issues. If you're worried you can just give them a small amount if you want a real cake. Personally I think there are a lot of rules around introducing food that aren't proven and are just the latest...

@ryantheirish That's really tough and people have given you some good advice. My advice if you have to keep making that long journey is to get a battery powered pump and use the drive to do a power pump - you can Google what the exclusive pumping groups suggest, but I typically did 20mins...

@proudmom1126 Woohoo. I bet you're exhausted but so proud of the the of them!

@uertkasalvation In the UK you get a booster in pregnancy but no one else is offered it

@elam84 I'm in the UK and did a bit of googling when I had my baby as I saw lots online about people not allowing visitors unless they were vaccinated or not going out with baby until they were vaccinated. The conclusion I came to was that we had generally higher vaccination rates in the UK so...

@steelcityd This is what I thought when I did some googling when I had my baby in the UK. There's more risk in the US because of more areas with low enough vaccination rates to allow outbreaks to spread

@kingskid001 Thanks. We had a couple of weeks warning she was going to come that early & time to do a bit of googling, so we had some warning about what our journey would be like. That made things easier to deal with I think.

@kingskid001 Mine was born very early and before her due date had two lots of precautionary antibiotics when she was showing signs of infections (but none showed up on the blood tests and cultures later). We've had two more lots of antibiotics for chest infections and two operations that she had...
