Rinse in cold water 3. Sterilise in steriliser But then once there done they last 24 hours so can I store them in my cupboard unt...

For bottle feeds, can I ask which sterilising equipment you have bought? There is so much out there from UV, to steam machines, to self sterilising bottles, to microwave bags; I am a little confused by it all! Thanks all

Hi I just started purée for my 6 month baby- how much milk do I carry on giving her in addition? For example I give her purée veg at 12, she is then full and wouldn’t want milk straight away. What time would you offer milk? And how many bottles a day in total? Worried underfeeding or over feeding .. tks x

Are we all sterilising our pump parts after every use? I’ve been pumping for 4/5 weeks now and have been sterilising my parts after each use which is very time consuming. I read online that some people put their parts in the fridge after every use for a 24 hour period. Any advice?

Since starting my baby on anti reflux milk, he’s been going longer gap without feeds. Most he’s gone without feed is 5 hours and he’s 10 weeks old. Should I be worried? Also I make 6oz but he usually drinks 4-5oz. I’m jsut worried because before he’d have milk every 3 hours, now it’s gone to 5 hour gaps sometimes. A...

My boy is 7 months tomorrow and has 6/7oz four times a day and a bottle in the night but I’ve just read on the formula tub he should be having 3 bottles a day at 7 months (I know this is just a guide) I’ve noticed he isn’t finishing his bottles anymore and doesn’t seem hungry. Weaning isn’t going great either so he ...

While I'm trying to breast feed I know my milk supply may take a bit to come in, does anyone who had a baby before have a recommended brand? I was considering Kirkland but I'm still on the fence.

Anybody else’s LO become extremely irritating to feed? Constantly getting distracted and looking for distractions, used to take 8oz, now only takes 5/6. I’ve changed the teat size but to no avail. We’ve started weaning but only a few spoonfuls a day, anybody else going through this? It’s killing me!

Any other mom’s using Similac total comfort my WIC office told me this is the formula that I have to use and I can’t use Enfamil gentleease no more. I started giving it to my daughter but I don’t think it’s good for her. So I’m just seeing if anybody else uses this formula.

Is it ok that my 4 week old can go up to 5 hours without a feed We stopped waking her for feeds as she is gaining weight but can often go 3-5 hours between feeds. For reference she is exclusively bottle fed a mix of breast milk and formula and we give her between 4-5 ounces per feed It’s very rare she’ll wake up ...

Just found out that the purple lidded sterifeed bottles that we used with the hospital pump are actually single use only!! I have just ordered the white lidded ones which are reusable. Did anyone else not realise this? We have been using them for the last 5 weeks and sterilising after every use, not had any issues....

He’s been given it but refusing to feed at all. I did try to slowly donit by mixing with his normal formula but any more than half a dose he refuses to drink… even trying half it’s hard and I have to try add something to make the taste better. I’ve tried adding infacol. Dentinox and vanilla extract? Not had any chan...

Seems to be a lot of hype and pressure for these! I will work on them over the next couple of months, bottle has meant comfort for a YEAR, zero interest in forcing baby to change this all suddenly.

My little one is 16 weeks and her feeding schedule has gone wild. I try and offer her 5oz every 3 hours during the day. She sleeps through with no more than 1 night feed. Today she had a bottle of between 3-6oz at 7, 10, 12.30, 2.30, 5 and a top up at 6.30pm before bed at 7. But then she woke up an hour later screa...

Baby is drinking lots of water having 3 meals and snacks during day... should I top up with a bottle sometime during day? Not sure when to fit it in??? Is yes how m...

Hi ladies, my girl is nearly 6 weeks and I just can’t get into any type of feeding routine with her. More often than not she wants feeding 4 or 5 ounces every couple of hours! I try her with the dummy in between feeds but she just won’t have any of it she just screams the place down till I feed her. In this normal? ...

How much is everyone’s 4 months old drinking during a 24 hour period? My little one is only having 5 bottles of 180ml and will average around 650-750ml a day. She doesn’t wake up during the night for feeds. I’m just wondering if she is having too little? She is only small 9th on the centile and she is following the...
