My boy is 5 months old and the last couple days keeps doing this… whilst feeding he keeps pushing the bottle away and trying to put his hands in his mouth instead but then wants the bottle because he’s hungry… I don’t get it 😂 I already tried to up the teat size but it was too fast for him as he has tongue tie,…

I’ve been using the TT perfect prep for my LO, and TT bottles. However I’ve recently converted to MAM bottles and noticed that when I put 6oz on the TT machine it shows at 7oz on the MAM bottle but if I made 6oz in a TT it’s 6oz in the bottle. Am I making 6oz still?!

How do you get a baby to drop a bottle when they still seem to want all of their bottles? Do you reduce the amount in one/some of the bottles? I don’t feel like I should just cut one out completely as think he’d be hungry!

I recently started giving my LG some porridge mixed with formula to start weaning. She has about two spoonfuls and then cries. Could this be that she doesn’t like it or isn’t ready? She’s 5.5 months.

My son has been on one bottle a day since he was close to 12 months old. He has just one bottle before bed now.

Am I...

Advice please mummies! Weaning my breastfed baby now and thinking of doing the milk ladder soon. I’m keen to confirm if he actually does have CMPA. I’ve never been fully convinced, as his eczema didn’t fully clear when I went dairy-free. GP and dietician were also not sure as he didn’t have many other symptoms (bit ...

Does everyone do the boil the kettle with fresh water and wait 30 mins before making a bottle? We are spending a fortune on the liquid bottles of milk for the night feeds because who wants to be getting up 30 mins before baby wakes? And how would you even know when they are going to wake!? I’m just wondering if it’...

I have a tommee tippee pump and breast milk bags.. my question is, do I need to sterilise the pump before using or can I just wash with soapy water? Midwife said breast milk is sterile s...

Do you dry sterilised bottles? Really confused because the self-sterilising bottles say to leave them in tact to keep sterilised so would I put the milk in straight away or dry them first? Wouldn’t it be bad for tap water to be in the bottle? But drying would make it no longer sterile? So confused and trying to give...

This might sound really silly but all the baby’s weaning bowls, cups, utensils should we be sterilising them or can we just hand wash?
