Hi mums My baby just started solid and we’ve been giving him puree but we want to do BLW. Should we do this after puree once he got his intro to food or can we do this now already? Thank you

Has anyone’s baby still choked on gripe water when it’s been put in the bottle? I’m wanting to try it but worried about choking. (I’m aware it shouldn’t go in the bottle but putting it in a syringe or the teat is not an option as baby will not take any type of medicine this way anymore).

What worked for you? He’ll be 3.5

Why do we have to take away the bottle? Why is it bad? And do we switch to a sippy cup and why?

This might sound like a REALLY stupid question but how does everybody dry their bottles and pump parts after sterilising? I use an electric steriliser/dryer and don’t know what I’d do without the drying function😫 air drying never seems to work! I’m going to stay at my dads in a couple of weeks and I feel like bring…

Really struggling mentally lately. My baby boy is exclusively breastfed. He’s coming up to 8m on 27th Nov. I’m fighting with introducing formula to ease the mental load a little bit. I struggle to get anything done around the house. Some days I’m okay, other days it’s just chaos. My older son is 4. And I feel enormo...

Does anyone wash baby bottles in the dishwasher before sterilising or do you still hand wash

Im a FTM and my baby will be 3 weeks old in 2 days. the pediatrician recommended i offer her 2oz of formula at each feeding. She's still acting hungry sometimes after she eats but every thing I've read said babies this young shouldn't be eating 3-4oz. Should I just offer more anyways? She has consistent wet and dirt...

so my baby has been put on this formula. I heard somewhere its ok to leave boiled water in bottles to cool down and then add the formula scoops? Is that okay to do? Does it not need a hot shot to kill the bacteria? please help me😂🥲

How many do I need to get? I’m planning (hoping) to breastfeed but no idea how many to buy. Is a bottle steriliser necessary? And a bottle warmer? Help please!

Hi All, my little one is coming upto 11 months this week. She's does drink formula but not alot compared to what I've seen other babies drink the same age but she's always been the same.

My daughter turned 6 months on 2nd May and still throws up nearly an ounce of milk after every feed when she's awake. She never does it after puree/baby food or when she's sleeping. HV keeps saying she'll grow out of it and isn't concerned as her weight is fine but it's hard work keeping us sick-free. My LO isn't in...

Has anyone experienced bottle leakage from the nipple area or the bottom? I’ve had the bottles for a while and idk if I need to buy new ones.
