BM and FM for 7th month old

Hello my baby is 7 month old and going thru growth spurt. I'm EP and baby cant latch. Has been pumping around 650-700ml per day and baby usually take 600ml BM. However now she wants 720ml I'm thinking of 600 day time bm while night time feeding FM. But I'm not sure how much to feed, I search online says is around 180ml per feed but my baby had never taken> 120ml per feed. I'm not sure if she can drink finish so much. Any parents have such issue?? Thank you!! #advicepls #1stimemom #firstbaby

baby sitting up

Baby is currently 5.5 months and has been able to balance herself abit while sitting up. We usually prop her on a chair, or sitting on our hamstring, or lean against a wall/cushion. However my IFC teacher says she is not ready to sit and so should not try sitting. Is this true?? Any scientific facts??

Super Mum

Her spine may not be that strong now and will not be able to sit up for a Long time

he's not a bad husband but he just sucks as being a dad

Just ranting but its not that he's a bad person or what. In fact he's one of the best person with the best personality but when it comes to baby caring he really sucks at it and he doesn't even try to improve n like hope miraculously that the baby fall asleep or the baby will hungry soon. So many times when I ask him to help tc he do it like half an hour n comes n tell me baby dun wan to eat, don't want to sleep and all. It's not that he never tries. Of Cuz he try but fails alot of time then ask me to take over. But like his success rate sucks man.cant he learn to.improve????????? I'm really v pissed off and angry

Maybe talk to him More.

hubby lacklustre support

My hubby is lacklustre about child caring and doesnt take any effort to read up on baby sleeping habit or cultivate a good sleep routine. He feeds when he feel baby needs, he doesnt care about making good routine when I have been painstakingly trying to make a good one. I'm really very pissed off because baby's day routine drastically affect the night sleep and I have to be the one who feeds him at night. What can I do?? Should I just give up n throw baby to him?

Have you talked to him with a counselor?

baby 3 month MOTN feed

My LO is going 12W soon and lately she has been waking 3.30am for a feed but she cant go back to sleep easily and will be awake for more than 1hr after her feed. Is this a signal that she has "wakeup" from her sleep? How do we help her transit into sleeping after MOTN feed? Usually in the day, baby will play for 1 hr after feeding then she will be tired and sleep. It seems like she is doing this after her 3.30am feed. Are baby able to differentiate night feed and wake feed? I'm worried my baby doesnt get enough sleep if she keeps doing this. For these days, her naps are around 3-4hours, 3 nap. Night sleep (include 3.30am waking up) 8 + 3. Please advise if anything wrong!

my baby is 11weeks, gg 12weeks in few days too. her night feeds is still 2-3hrly,60mls each time. my baby used to stay awake for night feeds too. what i started doing was to feed before she cry. like example, her next feed is at 2am but not sure if she really wants anot. she still being swaddled so I look out for noises and movement. if at 2am no noises and movement, i will come back at every 15mins. the moment i hear some noises for abt 5-10s,i start preparing her milk to dreamfeed her. so she wont be crying and stay awake after that. so far shes ok with the routine ive set. my baby's routine is every 1hrly in the day 7am wakeup,play and feed 8am nap 9am wakeup,play and feed 10am nap etc 8pm bedtime.... night feeds 2-3hrly till 7am

10wks in postpartum and my menses seems to be back with slight blood but my nipple is very sore during breastfeeding. Any moms out there has good remedy? The sore nipple Is lowering my output

Super Mum

I don't think sore nipple has to do with menses, but menses can lower output. It should be temporary though. If the sore nipple makes it difficult to bf maybe you can try pumping? For last resort you can try using breast shield but I heard it can be difficult to go without it later on

the little ones program

Has any asian mum tried the little ones program? Did it work and did it not? I'm interested getting the ultimate mainly to learn about baby night habits, psychology and stuff like that. But I am curious to know if I could learn to settle baby without use of equipment like white noise machine or keep baby cool in aircon (my preference is fan only), or weighted swaddle. TIA

This is interesting, i actually never heard there's such program

latching problem

I have been trying to latch my baby since 2M. From NB to 2M it was only bottle no latch at all. Because I got inverted nipple, baby refuse to latch well because it's not deep like bottle teat. Any mum with inverted nipple manage to successfully latch from EP to DL? How do you do it? I tried to latch earlier before baby feeding time but as soon as I cradle baby, she already started crying. What can I do? *please no LC LC consultation* tried alot of times for LC LC support all no use
