When is the right time to feed your baby foods, like purity, nestum or even porridge or even making it soft and putting it in his or her bottle? My son is 3 months and 2 weeks. He now wakes up every 2hours at night to eat. He's always eating lol. Im breastfeeding him.

WHO says 6 months for solids. best not to put in the bottle at this age. only give food or cereal earlier than 6 months on doctors advise everything he needs right now is in your milk.

Mother's what do you do when he won't stop crying. It started yesterday. he's 10 days old now and we didn't sleep the whole night. He just won't stop crying. When I put him down to bed he just cries. Also my nipples are cracked and bleeding, what can I do. Tried to avoid feeding him in the one breast for a day but now ita full of milk and really sore but can't feed with it cos of the pain of the cracks n the blood. Please help. Thanks guys

Hi maybe you cn try to swaddle him and put in swing. That old traditional swing. Ive never used it for my baby but i have a friend who is using it and baby is sleeping easily. As for cracked and bleeding nipple, you may wanna try using breastpump. Pour it in milk bottle and feed baby with it while you heal the soreness. I did that and it helps alot. Or you cn try using nipple shield. Take care and hope all is good. You got this 💪🏻😊

Hi dear, you’re going through a lot. I know you need comfort, but I’m going to list the practical steps first ok? 1. Give him a good tight swaddle. He’s scared, freaked out to be in this world. Everything is unfamiliar and scary, unlike in your womb. If you’re unable to wrap him well, buy a velcro/zip swaddle. They’re lifesavers! 2. Not every cry is about being hungry. If you’ve checked the diaper and fed him enough, he may just be lonely or scared. Cuddle him, rock him a little, talk to him. Many newborns hate the bed, because they feel exposed and vulnerable. The swaddle helps. Patting firmly with your hand cupped helps. 3. Get nipple cream asap. Lanolin ointment works wonders. You need to apply it just before and just after feeding. Some people use a nipple shield, but some mummies have reported nipple confusion and breast rejection later on. I stuck to using the ointment. If you’re avoiding feeding with the breast because of nipple cracks and bleeding, don’t leave the breast full. Pump out the milk every 3 hours. A good pump should not hurt your nipples (it should pump the areolar region). The cracks, if you apply the ointment and give it a chance to heal, should heal within 1-2 days, ie. The unbearable pain should subside enough for you to latch. Also, see a lactation consultant. Baby’s latch is probably still wrong and that’s why it’s so painful. A good latch should not cause you pain throughout the whole breastfeeding session. If you can’t find the time to, go to youtube or breastfeeding websites to see how to get baby to latch better. Hope some of the things mentioned are helpful to you, and that things get better soon!
