hi when u bottle feed your baby, when u stop to wind her pop the bottle between your legs so it stays warm thats what i do anyway

Tha baby may not be settling at night as they can get a tad colic which affects them later in the day. As far as I know this will settle at 3 months. Have you tried infacol, maybe ask your Dr or HV if they think thats what it could be?

Also maybe try a routine, maybe the CLB routine?

Im not sure then, like you say thats odd if shes ok in there in the day ? I thinkI'd call the midwife/health visitor as they prob deal with these sort of problems all the time - sorry I can't think of any other advice x

i have the avent n closer to nature bottles. she sleeps in her moses basket during the day which is why i can't understand why she won't at night.

Hi if your lo doesn't seem to want to take from a bottle maybe try a different  brand of bottle ? Im using Avent but I ve heard Tommee Tippee are meant to be pretty good -

also where does your lo sleep in the day ? Lennie was sleeping in a 'day chair' then he wouldnt settle at night in his moses basket- midwife suggested we put him in the moses baset in the day so he is used to being completely flat and he associates moses basket with sleep and he has been much better at night ever since.

Don't be afraid to speak to your midwife about feeding probs, they have loads of experience and might have the answer you are looking for.

Big hugs and hope it gets a bit easier for you soon x

hi hun, i know how you feel, my lil man is 3 weeks n 2 days and im bf, my other ds is 4 n half so i do get a bit of a break durin the day with him bein at school but i know it can b really drainin at times, ds2 seems to always want feedin wen im jus bout to leave to take ds1 to school but iv found that if i get up a bit earlier and feed him then he will go  a bit longer, also i find that if im out he tends to go a lot longer between feeds as he will sleep wen bein pushed or if we're in the car, i think its due the movement. also as 4 bf in public i always make sure i take a blanket with me which i put over my shoulder and round my chest so it covers everythin and then i put lil man underneath to feed, mothercare and big deparment stores likes m and s and debenhams and supermarkets tend to hav a feedin section near the toilets aswel so thats always an option. with sleepin my lil man was the same but iv persisted and he tends to sleep a bit longer in his moses basket now but there is still the odd time he ends up in with me tho i know he shouldnt, i want to try my best to keep him out of my bed as with ds1 i let him sleep in our bed and im still havin trouble keepin him out of it!! lol

do u hav any family that could help you out? mayb try expressing and letting daddy do a few feeds while you get sum rest?!  xx

aww hun, big hugs. i kno how u feel. i bf dd1 and thats the reason i chose not to this time. if your that exhausted hun - bottle feed her formula all the time. she will get used to it and at least you'll have some time and energy for other things. at least you tried hun xxxx

I'm an exhausted emotional mum of 2 ds 2 n 1/2 n dd 3 weeks 5 days. i never realised how hard, draining n time consuming it would be. really wanted to bf since i never managed to bf my ds. i want to introduce some bottles of formula or expressed milk n just bf when i'm home but she only has 1oz n it has to be quite warm or she will refuse it n if i stop to wind her n it cools down she won't have it. but after having 1oz she is still hungry but won't have anymore of the bottle. i don't feel comfy bf in public so want to be able to bottle feed her. another problem is knowing how many bottles i'd need to take out with me. she has no set routine to her feeding it could be every hour, 2 or 3. if i was out for 8 hours i couldn't possibly take 8 bottles. my ds was feeding every 3 hours from birth n it was so nice knowing when he was due a feed. i know bf is different but if i went out i could end up having to stop every hour to feed which could take 30mins n with a toddler it would be a nightmare. another problem i'm having is that on a night she will only sleep with me n not her moses so i am hardly sleeping.

anyone got any advice, please help, if you can understand what i have written.
