    Exclusively breastfeeding vs Pumping?

    @jasonryantruthalways I think recent research shows us that lots of skin to skin, cuddles and kisses with baby will help produce antibodies as well!

    Exclusively breastfeeding vs Pumping?

    @robinrocks You’ll get a lot of comments here from people who chose to EP, and are happy with it. Ultimately if you enjoy it and don’t find it a drag, that’s the most important part. Just realise that now you have a very small, immobile baby who can be put down while you pump. I don’t know what...

    I need a little guidance as my heart is conflicted about sleep training.(sorry, it's a long one)

    @mrmovie1983 There’s definitely sleep consultants out there with a much more holistic approach. The one I work with, will first look at what is normal, then talk about instilling healthy habits. But never, ever any CIO. So definitely do some more research and see if you can find someone else...

    Sex after having a baby?

    @oioimoi At some point, my velcro baby would sleep for a few hours by herself in her crib, usually for the firsf stretch of the night. That’s when we’d do it, sometimes next to her, sometimes in the spare room. I’ll admit it does feel weird doing it with the baby next to you; even if they’re...

    FDA Issues Warning Letters to Three Infant Formula Manufacturers

    @noldoxis Nothing wrong with that. As you add the powder to the boiled water, it sterilizes the powder. After that you can safely store it in the fridge for 24hrs.

    My baby won’t sleep and I’m at the end of my rope

    @pz128 Obviously we don’t have enough info here to know what is going on. In general, I would say waking every 45min is a red flag though, especially if it’s been going on for months and not just a week when they are sick or teething. Some red flags to examine: -food sensitivities/allergies...

    Anyone use cloth baby wipes?

    @dobsonsdogs I have them from a brand called Cheeky Wipes. Flannel or bamboo, come with a plastic container in which I keep them wet. For out and about I put them wrung out into a small wetbag and add water from my bottle if needed. Works really well, no rashes ever.

    FDA Issues Warning Letters to Three Infant Formula Manufacturers

    @loveofgod220 Liquid is not readily available. Where I live, you are unable to buy it or even receive it from a doctor or pharmacy unless your baby has specific health conditions, and even then it wouldn’t be offered for months.

    New to formula. 7m old MOTN wakes

    @truthseekah Yes no need to add more formula at night if he doesn’t need it! If you start adding the patting and shushing in now, he might be able to fall asleep with only patting/shushing in a few weeks time and you can use that for wakings.

    New to formula. 7m old MOTN wakes

    @truthseekah There’s many ways of soothing a baby to sleep! 1. Nursing Patting Rocking/bouncing/any type of movement Singing Sucking (like on a paci) Etc etc. I’d encourage you to try something lying down first, bc once your kids gets hooked on the rocking and bouncing you’re bound to get out...
