Baby Feeding

Has anyone given a small top up of formula with expressed breast milk? Like 1oz mixed with BM I can’t mentally or physically keep breastfeeding and want to switch to exclusive pumping but it’s going to take some time to build up bottle supply while nursing so wondering if this will help the transition (and keep hi...

I’ve recently gone from combi feeding my 2 month old to exclusively formula feeding. He still wants to drink every 2 hours. Everywhere I read says they should only drink 5 times a day but he drinks 8/9 times 100/120ml a time. Is this normal?

At my daughter’s 2 month appt her doctor was a bit concerned that she wasn’t gaining as much weight as she’d like. She said she’s still gaining a good amount but not what she’d like. I breastfeed/pump but my baby is drinking 5-6oz bottles and I don’t produce enough to keep up with that especially with me going back ...

Hey! My LB turned 1 on the 5th November and the week before that I started weaning him onto cows milk. He is a breastfed baby but he does have 1 bottle before bed. I originally started weaning him with Big Milk but I’ve come down to see my partner and they didn’t have any in the shop I went to so I just got normal...

My 9 week old is combi feeding on demand and currently drinks 120ml formula approx every 2 hours during the day and topped up with breastfeeding. Sometimes stops at the 90ml mark. According to Google a typical 9 week old should be having 150-180ml 4-5 times a day. Of course you need to give your baby what they req...

Hi Between me and my husband whilst half asleep we have accidently given out newborn baby water without the formula powder! As soon as I noticed we gave her milk and she seems fine and asleep but now I’m frightened to death incase I’ve hurt her, I think she had around 1.5 ounces please help

We've been supplementing with formula this week. But wondering if we are over doing it in the day with formula. I also breastfeed my baby too when I'm with him. But how many hours in between formula feeds should we do? My husband has been giving 4 oz every 3-4 hours but I'm thinking that's too much? I leave for ...

Do you sterilize after every use? Or once a day?

Hi, I’ve got a 4 day old that is issuing formula but he’s started feeding hourlyish. Midwife told us 3 hours between each feed but he’s just not sticking to it. Is this normal

The last 2 months my little girl has been fussing at every feed, pushing our hands away, spitting out the bottle or shaking her head so the bottle comes out her mouth , I’m lucky if she drinks 3oz at a time whereas she used to down 6oz no fussing. I thought it may be the teat and she could be ready to move up from s...

I have a 8 week old she’s combo fed. I seem to notice she throws up more and is more uncomfortable when bf. But still throws up from formula. I tried feeding her less and also I don’t eat dairy products. Her medicine for reflux worked for about 2 weeks and then stopped being effective

So I was given a huge case of unopened baby formula from a coworker & it expired on the 17th of November. Has anyone ever given their baby expired formula?? It feels like such a waste to get rid of it…

Please help I don’t know what to do we have officially ran out of formula (which I thought would last up until baby turns 1 which is Monday) but I’ve been introducing cows milk with formula for a week and since I’ve ran out of formula I tried baby with cows milk and he’s not taking to it at all he’s waking with stom...

Hi, just a quick question, how much formula takes your baby at 1 month old? As we don't have a feeding pattern yet, sometimes mine is taking 90ml, sometimes 60ml, sometimes she's crying for more than 90.. but I'm worried to give her more as she has reflux. But she's crying for more food and obviously the hunger cues...

What milk alternatives are Mumma’s giving from cows milk? Think my baby’s allergic as at 12 months he came out in hives, runny clear nose, diarrhoea etc. We are using soya milk now, the 1-3yrs toddler milk, but it’s really sweet. We tried 3 formulas before 1yr and really don’t want to change but nurse was in my ea...

My LO is 3.5 weeks and he typically drinks expressed breast milk every 2-3 hours. He finds drinking 4oz usually no problem and sometimes I have to top him up with another oz or put him on the boob. He was born at just over 38 weeks and was 6lb8oz so wasn’t a big baby but loves his grub - doesn’t matter whether it’s...
