putting tired baby to sleep

There are times where it is easy to put my 2 month old boy to sleep, when I have caught the "right timing". There are times where we miss that window (e.g sleepy during feeding but got awaken from burping. Or got woken up in the middle of the nap or sleep). He is clearly wanting to continue to sleep yet even after I carry him in my arms, walk around the house, rock him and "shhh" him, he is still refusing to sleep. The alternate is a cranky, fussy baby. I'm wondering what do other mummies do under this circumstances to put your LO to sleep?

breast milk and top up

Hi mummy, I'm curious what everyone journey is like. I have recently given birth and I'm at my 10th day. I have to top up with formula milk after 1 hour of latching. I'm wondering how long does everyone take to reach the stage where you produce enough breast milk to satisfy baby without top up.

Usually 1 months is needed to regulate the milk

My son has weak latch and always falling asleep/getting bored

My son is one week old and he always have a very weak latch on my breast. Anyone else have this problem? It is very hard to properly stimulate the milk production. I have consulted with lactation consultant and latch seems ok, I keep waking him up if he falls asleep etc. The only way I can give him breast milk is to pump and bottle feed it, but I really want to directly breastfeed if I can

It is common for newborns fall sleep during feeding, not to worry too much Meantime pump every 2hrs to stimulate and build breast milk When he get older he will sleep lesser

Best bottle to supplement breastfeeding for newborn

I am trying to breastfeed but my supply is very low. My son (1 week old) was losing a lot of weight so we needed to supplement with formula. His suckle is also very weak so doesn't stimulate the nipple much. I want to know which bottle/nipple is best for dual bottle+breast. I heard there are some nipple that only release small milk when baby sucks so it is similar to breast (instead of constant flow even if not sucking). I am using mostly Philips Avent bottles and equipment. Thanks for the advice!

storing milk bottles after sterilisation

Hi all, first time mum. Getting ready for baby arrival. Currently in my week 37. Just wondering after I have cleaned and sterilised the milk bottles do I need to put them in an airtight container to prevent decontamination? I'm also wondering how many bottles, mummies have on standby for newborn? Thank you.

I did the same as the above. But usually before using, I'll sterilize again. And place it in a sterilizer box. I've atleast 6 bottles. As most mums says 2-3 is sufficient but to wash everytime after use is a hassle. So i only wash after every next morning.
