Feeding my newborn ready to feed Enfamil. I got big bottles of big pack of 18 bottles with 237 ml each. I put 60 ml of milk in bottle to feed but my LO doesn’t finish all of them. Can I keep leftover milk to reuse for next feed? Or Do I need to throw right away? If I can reuse for next feed, within how many hours should I finish?
Does anyone have any good tips for cutting nails? I can't bring myself to bite them, I've bitten my own nails for years and only recently stopped. (I will get over it if I have to, but I would like someone to tell me how you're biting babies nails) I've tried with little nail clippers, but his nails are so soft they don't cut they just bend, and I can't get near him with a nail file. He's 8 weeks old now and he's getting proper little nicks and scratches on his face that noticeably bleed. Not to mention the tiny scratches I get from him
How do you know if you've been discharged from midwife care? Do they tell you because I'm 5 weeks pp and haven't seen them since week 2 so I'm assuming I've been discharged? Do they have to formally tell you?
Girl moms, is it okay to fully clean baby girl's vagina during dipper changes? I'm wondering if I may cause any infection with the wipes. My MIL said not to be harsh and fully wipe there but I'm unsure if that's right. I see traces of dipper balm etc and it's also super red. I'm quite worried. Pls help!
I’ve only just been told my maternity pay will be smp (after being told I’d get a certain percentage of my wage) which doesn’t even cover rent and half my bills. Not to mention I’ve got to get food shopping to make sure I’m eating enough to breastfeed or to buy formula. I’ve got little holiday left to boost it
I can’t seem to breastfeed my baby and it’s been a nightmare, my milk supply if far too low at this point barely any + he can’t seem to latch properly. he’s currently 4 weeks and I mainly depend on formula, but the guilt of not being able to breastfeed, I feel like I’m not giving my baby enough. I wonder if anyone has been through a similar experience and how you deal with the guilt that comes with it?
