Feed

Hi everyone, would like to ask if anyone experienced a fussy bottle feeding baby? My baby is 2 months old and is very fussy when it comes to feeding time. We have changed his formula, bottle and the nipple too. He takes at least 20 mins before wanting to drink his milk. At times he even goes past the 4 hour window. Pretty worried about this. Do share your tips!

Travelling with formula fed baby

Hi, FTM here. Just wondering, for full-formula fed baby, how to air travel? Logistics like, where to get hot water during the flight; how to sterilise bottles when overseas etc. Thinking of travelling but the thought of all these logistics prevent me from having further thoughts 😅

Just bring empty bottles on board with prepacked milk powder in disposable milk bags. When onboard, can ask flight attendant for water to make milk on flight. Sterilise wise, can use hot water to soak. But tbh I never sterilize when overseas (just wash and make milk) nor buy bottled water to boil, my lo is still alive and kicking (no diarrhoea or anything) 😂

8 week old sleeps a lot

Hi mummies! My baby girl is 8 weeks old today and I am wondering if she’s sleeping too much! Currently she wakes up every 3 hours to feed and is always very on time. She has at least 8 wet diapers and poops at least 2-3 times a day. However, she isn’t able to stay awake for long, often sleeps right after her feed. Many times she can’t even stay awake to burp, but will start fussing maybe 1 hour in to her nap due to reflux / gas. We hold her upright for at least 30-45 minutes even though she’s asleep. Is this normal? Do they still sleep so much at 8 weeks old? How do you squeeze in tummy time or activity time with barely any wake windows? Thank you!

NB does sleep a lot. As long as the baby wakes up on time for milk, consistent wet diaper/poo that's good. For reflux wise that happened because baby sucked too much air or didn't burp well. Therefore the reflux. Too early to do tummy time. Until about 2 months onwards. Subject to individual babies as they have yet to learn to lift up their head. And they are still trying to learn to strengthen their neck muscles.

Anxiety probably?

Hello mommies! HELP!!!!! haha My little one is currently 2 months old. Ever since LO's birth, I have been having anxiety(?) not sure if that's a right way to describe. When my confinement nanny was around, my LO shared a room with her while I sleep with my partner in our MBR - I kept hearing baby's cries (phantom cries) but he is actually sound asleep. My nanny told me to relax myself and try to sleep in more. Now that baby is 8wks, i still have this problem. When I'm washing bottles/ hubby drying his hair... I will tend to pause everything and check on LO. At night, due to colic, my LO will squirm and make little noises - due to that, I can't seem to relax and sleep properly as I will stay awake to make sure that he is okay. This resulted in poor sleep and i'm very sleep deprived as I'm the one doing night feeds :( Is any mommies facing the same problem or if any kind soul can advice on what I should do? Thanks alot in advance!! #firsttimemom

It’s TOTALLLLLLY NORMAL . My lo is 2 years old and while she’s sleeping in the room I can still hear her “cries” but she’s soundly asleep 😂 You can consider putting bell anklets for baby when he’s slightly older. If you hear the bell, check out baby 😄. I started wearing anklet for my lo around 18m, when she’s too quiet (not sleeping) it means she’s up to no good 🙈.

baby is at 7 weeks and coughing. she’s not feeling comfortable what should i do as there’s no medication :(

• monitor humidity of the room. too dry can worsen cough. • run air purifier / clean room to reduce dust that may irritate the throat. change bedsheets. • monitor her milk intake to ensure she drinks well and enough. some find thinner milk like goat milk to be easier to digest, this may or may not be relevant to u. follow your instincts. • clear her nose of mucus using suctions. • we generally don't recommend cough medicines for such young baby

Waking up at 5am every morning

My LO usually wakes up at 3am & 5am for night feed however after 5am feed, he’s always squirming, moving both his hands and legs, unable to get back to sleep until around 6-7am. Any idea why? He’s drinking 90ml two hourly, usually sit him upright for 30minutes after feed, most of the time will burp. #advicepls #firsttimemom

Could it be he is still hungry? Just a guess, FTM here too. My LO does that when he is still hungry after a 90ml feed 😅 He is also drinking 90ml 2 hourly.

Advice on pumping milk

Hi mummies, For someone who is currently exclusively bottle feeding formula as well as breast milk, I do not feel like going out of the house. I find it a chore to pump outside. However I miss going to places and socialising with friends. Any advice? 🥺

I pump right before I leave the house but I can only stretch up to 4 hours plus then it gets quite uncomfortable
