Latest feed...
NBB question from Anon:
Hi all, first thanks for all the amazing support this group provides. Has anyone gone from exclusively pumping (3-4weeks) to then being able to breastfeed?
I started exclusively pumping as I had issues with oversupply, engorgement and fast flow at the start which made it really hard for bub to feed.
Thank you
NBB question from Jess:

NBB question from Sarah:
My little one is 6.5 months old and has just started flipping over and sleeping on his tummy at night. I put him down on his back but half way through the night he rolls onto his tummy, then when he is sick of it he screams out for us to come roll him back! He knows how to roll from tummy to back as he does this during play time, but won’t do it at night. Is there something I can do to encourage him to roll back on his own when he wants to. Am some times getting up 3-4 times to roll him back when he screams. Have any of you mums experienced this and did their bubs grow out of it?

NBB question from Anon:
Hi, I would like to ask a community question. I had my previous baby at Monash Medical in Clayton, Victoria and have since moved and now reside out of the catchment for this hospital (barely) I’ve been advised my hospital will be Box Hill. Can anyone provide what experience you had with Box Hill and maternity?
Thanks in advance

NBB Question from anon:
Hi all,
I'm near my wits end trying to get my 8 week baby to sleep on her back without waking up instantly. She hates being swaddled/having her hands tucked away and will only sleep either on someone or on her tummy. We suspect she has reflux however she moves ALOT so elevating the bassinet isn't an option as she has ended up horizontal/rolled over at the end. My question is: has anyone had success training babies to sleep on their backs like this? I'm about to toss SIDS recommendations out the window and i feel awful for it!?. Thankyou.
NBB Question from Francesca:
Hi mums! Long post alert ?
My little girl is 8 months old, she is formula fed and started solids at 5.5 months (smooth purees).
At first she loved her purees, then she lost interest and most days she will just close her lips shut and turn her head. If I offer water though she gets super excited and asks for more and more but as soon as she sees the spoon she shuts her lips! I tried feeding her solids before or after milk, it doesn’t seem to make a difference.
Everything seems very random because she may happily eat something one day and refuse to eat it another day.
I should also add that she has no teeth yet but I feel that she’s been teething for months now! Drooling, chewing, red cheeks. I can see the teeth but nothing has come through yet.
Lately she often tries to grab the food that we are having but she absolutely cannot handle the texture. She sucks on it then once she chews it she just gags and then immediately vomits.
I have the feeling that she may be one of those stubborn babies that wants to explore at her own terms so she would do better with BLW than spoon feeding.
My doubts are, if I start with BLW, will she learn how to chew and handle the textures or will I only create more anxiety for me and frustration for her? At this stage, do I really need to get some nutrients from solid foods into her or is it more about exploring and learning? She still has lots of milk (150-200ml x 5-6 bottles a day).
I know I am in no rush because milk is the main source of nutrition until 1but all I want is for her (and us!!) to live meals as something enjoyable, which is not now because of the frustration/my anxiety.
Please share your experience and tips!
Thank you!
