9 months old but multiple night wakings

Hello! My baby is 9 months plus but still wakes up 3-4 times a night. Anyone has similar experience? Her eyes are closed but she makes weird (pretty loud) noises so I will pick her up and breastfeed her. She doesn’t actually drink that much so I’m not sure if she’s hungry. I also do not wish to sleep train her. Any tips is welcomed!

If baby wakes up and doesnt cry, its ok can just leave baby alone

Introducing formula

My baby is 100% drinking breast milk now but I am going overseas for work for 6 days and I don’t have enough supply for baby for the whole duration. I tried to introduce formula but baby refused to drink it. I’m worried she might not have enough to drink while I’m away. Anyone has experience or tips to share when transitioning from breast milk to formula? #formulaadvice #weaning

I mixed bm & formula when transitioning. Eg if 100ml, 80ml bm: 20ML fm. Then slowly increase 50:50 then full bottle. I tried S26, grow and nan, she prefers Nan.

Do all babies need sleep training?

Hello, my daughter is 3.5 months and she wakes up 2-3 times a night to feed. However she falls back to sleep almost immediately each time so I was wondering if she still needs to be sleep trained? As it seems like she is waking up because she is hungry

My baby is just like yours.. I think sleep training will be more of how to train the baby to sleep independently? Can yours sleep without being carried or rocked? Mine still does..

Storing breast milk in office

Hello! Was wondering if anyone can share how they store breast milk and which bags / cooler they use when they need to pump in office and be able to store it for at least 5 hours? And would you recommend the method you tried? Thank you!

I use CeresChill. Save me the hassle frm bringing cooler bag, milk bags etc! I've tried leaving it out for more than 8 hours and still cold. That was when I was on holiday on a road trip. In the office, I just leave it in the fridge but sometimes I do not even have time to walk to the pantry, so I just leave it on my desk. Expensive but really worth the investment.

Night time arrangements

Hello, i was wondering if anyone can share their night time baby responsibilities between husband, yourself and helper after confinement nanny leaves? I am currently 3 weeks post partum and the confinement nanny has been taking the night time duty of feeding / changing diapers. I just wake up 1-2 times to pump. We trust her because many of my relatives have used her and she is very experienced with new borns However, our nanny leaves next week and our helper will be coming soon. I don’t feel comfortable letting my helper do the night time feeds / changing diaper as we don’t know her yet. My husband however thinks the helper should do the night job so we can rest at night and let helper rest in the day for about 2 hours Can anyone share how you handle the night time responsibilities between different people? Thank you! #pleasehelp #FTM #nightfeed

My husband has work so he will do 1 night feeding and the rest will be the helper cos I’ll be pumping. But for me, the helper was already here when nanny was here so she learnt from her. We also have the baby monitor anyway. But since yours is new, you’ll probably want to monitor her and do the feedings yourselves first until she’s trusted to do by herself. We let her rest from 9/10pm and she can wake up at 8am, and gave her 2 hours break if she wants during the day so that she has enough rest.. priority is baby :)

Sick during 2nd trimester - what to take?

I caught the flu, cough and sore throat recently and am 14 weeks pregnant. I think a fever is coming too although the last I measured it was 37.3 degrees so not considered fever yet. I have a normal temperature of 36+ normally so this is higher than normal for me. GP gave me chlorpheniramine (anti histamine) which I guess is for the flu. I’m allergic to painkillers like panadol / paracetamol so I can’t take them. Wonder if I should see another GP.. I called by gynae but only got advice from the receptionist who told me to take off the counter medicine but I read online that they are not safe for pregnancy so I’m confused. What should I do? Am worried the illness will affect the baby. Appreciate some advice! #firsttimemom #advicepls

37.3 is not fever. just take chlorpheniramine and some honey, have lots of rest and it will get better.
