Anyone have experience with them? My son is 9 months old and is currently having 4 bottles a day plus 3 meals, for a total of 7 meals. If this is the best we can get for a while I’ll take it, but I’m wondering if sizing up to size 4 would make it easier to go down to three 8 ounce bottles a day
Sorry if this has been asked before but I am at my wits end.
Similac sometimes gives out checks to be used towards the cost of their products as part of their rewards/distributed at pediatricians offices. I was able to score some at our last appointment and have had nothing but issues trying to use them in stores. The back of the check says not to run it through the scanner but every store I’ve gone to to try to use it says they won’t accept a check without running it through the scanner & they look at me like I’m trying to scam them.
I called Similac and they had no idea how to help me.
Anyone have success stories?
My husband got his first tooth at 5m, I got mine at 11m. Curious to see anecdotal as well as evidence based information!
Edit: should have included, we have an almost 5 month old son which is why I’m curious.
It’s the same UPC that ergobaby has on their website, BBB, etc. why is it so cheap?
My son is 4 months old and spits up (usually during tummy time) 45 min -1 hour plus after having his bottle. Today he had 3 big spit ups in one session. He is now rolling onto his tummy from his back so between his wake windows being about 2 hours and the fact that he won’t go to bed hungry, how do I prevent this from happening? He recently came off of antacid but I’m wondering if he needs to go back on it
My 4 month old has a big belly and I don’t like putting pressure on his stomach with pants that “fit” but squeeze. I’m trying to find a brand or style of pants that is made with less restrictive waistbands to keep him comfortable. I swear - 3, 6, and 9 month pants are all the same waistband size, just longer legs.
My boy is 3 months old and has been on Kendamil exclusively for about a month since I transitioned to EFF. In the beginning his poop looked just like breastmilk poop. Now some days it’s dark green and soupy, some days it’s greenish yellow and half soupy, and some does it looks just like breastmilk poop. I don’t get how one formula could change the output that much? Can anyone provide some wisdom?
So, I know he can sleep for 11 hours without eating. He’s 3 months old and did it for about a week. This last week though, he’s been waking up after 8 hours aggressively eating his hands. Should I make any attempts to delay feeding him or just automatically feed him if he wakes up?
Since my little guy started tolerating the bouncer we put him in it for 15-20 minute stretches a few times a day. I notice he always gets lots of spit & bubbles while he’s in the chair but not a lot at any other time.
Anyone else notice this? Is it okay?
My boy is 11 weeks old today and is a relatively excellent sleeper, going on 8 hours his first stretch then 3 hours for his second stretch.
I can’t help but dread the sleep regression I read so much about.
So I’m wondering if anyone has experience with things that can be done to mitigate the severity/duration of the 3-4 month sleep regression?
My boy is almost 10 weeks old and up until now was a good napper but now he seems to need a little more work to make it happen.
When is a good time to start thinking about nap schedules? He’s kind of all over the place but I do notice that his biggest nap is usually in the morning or early afternoon but lately he’s been having little 20 minute cat naps.
When do babies start needing quiet & darkness to start napping well? Do you all put them in their rooms/bassinet in your room for naps when this happens? He’s just been napping in a pack n play in the living room so far.
I’m also interested in some good nap schedule resources if anyone can share any!
I’m transitioning my boy to a different brand of formula and have an extra tub of his old stuff. Are there any organizations I could donate my last tub to? I couldn’t bring myself to return it just for it to be destroyed
Not sure if this is allowed here but I know it’s crazy times right now and I hope someone can use it. Willing to sell them for $60 - I paid $75 for 2 - 28.3 oz tubs. I can meet in New city, congers, valley cottage, Nanuet, or west nyack
I’m looking to switch my 2 month old son to a formula from the UK - Kendamil that has a lower iron content than US based formulas.
I saw some articles about the fda recalling these formulas due to insufficient iron content.
My question is, if Australia and the UK have formulas with iron contents at less than half that of the US, wouldn’t we be seeing iron deficiency anemia in babies outside of the US if this was an issue?
My 8 week old has been taking in higher quantities of formula as he gets older as far as ounces per day, but he sometimes will only have 2 oz, fall asleep, 1.5 ounces, hang out for a while and seem disinterested in food, a while later he’ll have 5 oz. It’s just all over the place. I see a lot of users saying their baby eats X ounces every Z hours. In my house it’s anything goes with him. Is there anything I can/should do about this? I’m hoping he’ll start sleeping in longer stretches overnight as I’m super sleep deprived but he will often times only drink 2 oz during his night feeds and then wake up 2 hours later crying and hungry again.
