@terrastorm Just remember that routine ≠ schedule! Routine is as simple as baby wakes, eats, diaper change and play time. Schedule is baby wakes at 6am, bottle/breast at 6.30am, diaper change at 7am, play time until 7.30am, nap routine and nap at 8am. Babies like predictability but they have no...

@olamide There are no risks per se, that wouldn’t be risks for all new introductions. Your baby could potentially be allergic to dairy and therefore that could show up with formula, but you should be feeding your baby dairy during the weaning process anyway. If you’re doing formula in a cup with...

@lethimhear Yep and likewise breastfeeding over solid - the amount of infants I see that haven’t so much as tasted a smidge of solids at 8/9 months ‘because breast is best’ is so worrying, such a disservice to children. Also on the hand, the absolute lack of breastfeeding help and support in...

@nimbus This thread is absolutely insane - that poor mum who felt awful about supplementing her premature baby with high calorie formula. Edit: typos

@mazince514 Read into for your brand but I think most level 3 are advised for 4 months plus or 6 months plus!

@maxgraham Adding to this, check the nipple flow! LO May be able to take more but gets fed up cause it’s too slow!

@tinaj Sorry to pop in two months later but how are you getting on with it? I have a 12kg one year old and I’m really struggling with the quick pick ups! How is it for sizing? I’m a UK size 16/18 and hoping it won’t be too small cause I’m chunky like my kiddo! I’m dead keen on it for quick pick...

@terrastorm Your expectations with a 2 month old should be that the baby is clean, dressed in something (mostly jammies) and fed and loved. That’s it. The rest is background noise. My kid is now 10 months and in a great routine, but it didn’t really develop until closer to 4 months, and even...

@mark1615 Yep came here to say that this is hunger and cluster feeding. The worst, but it passes!

@abaca55 Are you in the UK? Look at the Nuby Cool thing or Tommee Tippee go prep. Another option is a flask of boiling water and a bottle of cool boiled to do the hot shot method but you need to have like another bottle to measure the volume - so for a 6oz I would put 60ml of boiling water in...

@joannayang In the UK the Hep B vaccine is given at 8 weeks as part of the 6-in-1 vaccine: https://www.nhs.uk/conditions/vaccinations/hepatitis-b-vaccine/ Unless the mother is positive for Hep B and then a dose of only the Hep B vaccine is given at birth and 4 weeks, and then the normal...

@buckwheaties Might be worth asking at r/beyondthebump

@davidtonyo I would ask this questions in r/ScienceBasedParenting

@smh86 Yeah it’s horrendous, absolutely despicable tbh!! But I meant there isn’t as much of culture around schedules here as it isn’t as necessary. I would 1 million percent sleep train my child as soon as possible if I was somehow expected to do a full time job 2wpp. Madness. You all deserve...

@smh86 Also from the UK and absolutely zero people I know that are not American or American adjacent (spouse, friends that are American etc.) even know what sleep training is, let alone do it. Probably the main reason why is we get a long maternity leave so have to grin and bear it.
