So we’re using lactose free formula which he doesn’t like. So it’s not as easy as just switching over Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. We’ve got some sort of magic shaky thing. Boiling water and formula powder go in, shake it up, 2 minutes later it’s cool enough for him to drink. No idea how it works. Magic I assume 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

El Zen Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 My then wife and I had to bottle feed with formula from about three weeks on. Meant a bit more work for me, but otherwise no issues. Having a mother not on the verge of total breakdown is more important for a baby than being breastfed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post WakefieldVillan Posted August 4, 2022 Popular Post Share Posted August 4, 2022 Currently sat in the labour ward with my wife awaiting the birth of our first child, could be a new little Villan born today or tomorrow I'm excited, but petrified at the same time, it's been a long week for us both, especially her (of course) as she's been in hospital since Monday, waiting to be induced, waiting for her waters to break, waiting for a spare bed etc etc, she's been dreading giving birth all her life and has been very emotional (naturally) but I've been there for her which has definitely got her through this - well it's OUR journey after all. We do not know the sex either which is really exciting, just hope everything goes ok ❤ 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But my wife rationalised it thus: Pregnancy is nine months, parenting is several decades. What's a few hours of labour, compared with that? Good luck, buddy.

It has been the hardest night watching her suffer, we've both had one hours sleep when her epidural kicked in early hours of this morning. We are mentally drained, she is physically drained. Positive is baby is ok (at the moment). She needs to just keep going for a few more hours 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went down to where I had to put on gown and shoes. They told me someone would show me to the toilet. A good while later someone came in and I thought at last! Only for us to be shown into the theatre. That 20 minutes or so lasted forever! It was still a good while after that I managed to go. At least I had a distraction.
