Meant I got the sleep in yesterday I remember constantly having to get up about that time so he could listen to the CBeebies music this went on for about a year How I would have wished for a Villa game 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted July 17, 2022 Share Posted July 17, 2022 With my first I did the midnight feed and the 5am feed Took the missus a while to clock how many hours I was putting in to the last of us 2 during these feeds The second one has broken me, my daughters changed massively, volumes gone up a few notches, she's now waking up at 3am wanting to read a book or drink juice screaming at me for it, she's perfect with the baby but horrible with everything else, she'll like state me down before throwing her cup of water somewhere knows exactly what she's doing, her new thing is spitting due to seeing the baby being sick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stevo985 Posted July 18, 2022 VT Supporter Share Posted July 18, 2022 Mine appears to be allergic to formula (so probably allergic to milk). Which is annoying, as he doesn't like the taste of lactose free formula. His mom is done with breastfeeding now. All the pumping and expressing has driven her to despair so we're trying to get him onto the formula as quick as we can. To be honest I'm done with it too. If I have to spend another evening listening to her moan about her **** breastpumps I'll explode 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But the militant pumping and expressing schedule has worn her out. She's done now. She's done it long enough to get the sentimentality of breast feeding out of the way. Now she just wants rid of it. We've managed to get him onto half breast milk and half lactose free formula so looking to slowly change the proportions.

Can't come soon enough I will never forget the pressure the one nurse put on my wife at the hospital. My wife called her the nipple nazi and it reached a point where other nurses told her to leave my wife alone Bottle feeding meant I and others could help. It made a big difference.

Oh we do bottle feed, but with expressed breastmilk. I think half of it is the pressure for her.

Paddywhack Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 My youngest has been exclusively bottle fed, for a few reasons. He's nearly 4 months now, so Mrs P agreed I could dust off (and thoroughly clean though) our old tommee tippee perfect prep machine. Game changer, bottle made in 2 minutes rather than 30. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are both fit, heathy and happy having been raised on formula. Many will insist it’s like giving them cigarettes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
