Will it confuse your newborn by introducing bottle feed breastmilk at their 14-day-old?

#firsttimemom #advicepls #firstbaby#firstchild

Not at all. At this point some bottle brand will have teats thats similar to mother's nipple. So giving milk via direct latch, express BM or FM would not make baby confused. The only reason sometimes baby love direct latch because of body smell and comforting. While some baby love bottle feed because they do not know how to suck on nipple or we have inverted nipple. So, my advice would be do all three of this method so baby will get used to the different teats/nipple.

Is it normal for a 11 week old baby to cry almost the whole day ?

#firs1stimemom#firstTime_mom#firstchild#advacepls

It could be colic if a baby cry a whole day or for prolong period of time. No specific reason but majority of the baby that's just few days/week old will have colic. Since it is a totally different "world" hence, baby is adapting to noises, sound, atmosphere. You may try to swaddle baby, lullaby or massage baby to keep them comfy. Hopefully it works.

Bonding with newborn

My baby is 3 wks old now, during the day grandma will do most of the feeding while i will takecare of my baby at night. Somehow i am worried that my baby is bonded with grandma because when i call for her she doesnt interact as much with me. Am i thinking too much? :( i want my baby to stick to me. ;/ #mommy #firstchild #bonding

hello dearest I went thru the exact same thing as you and I can honestly tell you I cried daily thinking that my baby doesn’t love me or he wouldn’t recognise me. ( I’m a young ftm… when my darling Js born I didn’t really get to do a lot my aunt did most of the things for me because she’s worried) are you breastfeeding? Would recommend you to breastfeed as it really helps you bond w baby!! And I would say don’t worry too much about it laa baby still small. And I strongly believe that babies recognises their MOTHER scent…. (Tested & proven) At first I also want baby to stick to me But now hello I can’t even go toilet Fella on my Chest as I’m typing HHAHAHAH it’s adorable that he’s sticking to me but now my arms my body really very sore so becareful what you wish for! Aghahaha hope it helps

38 weeks today. Had my cervix checked yesterday and unfortunately, still thick with no signs of dilation. Want my baby to come out soon, but at the same time, afraid to go through delivery. #firstmom #firstchild #delivery

Yeap my doctor did a membrane swipe when they checked my cervix didn’t show any sign of opening and I gave birth few days later. If not they wanted to induce me actually. I think the swipe actually helps alot!
