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...

Has anyone’s LO started to self wean away from formula? My LO was really poorly about a week ago and both solid/ formula reduced. He’s back on form with his eating but has no interest in milk at all and I mean like less than 10oz (HV not concerned) Not sure if I should be stressing about it or going with the flow 😂

Hi! My MIL looked after my 4 month old today and has somehow, we think, managed to add an extra 3 scoops of formula to his bottle. What should have been a 6oz bottle with 6 scoops is now possibly a bottle with 9 scoops. Should I be worried? Or, as a one-off incident, will he be fine? He didn't finish the bottle, ...

Any tips.....just got my EBF 5 month old to accept a bottle of formula today. I would like to incorporate 1 bottle a day. Any suggestions to when I should do this? Any tips of making formula with no machine? Feeling very new to the formula feeding thing and a bit lost. I am doing Pace feeding. Currently she will onl...

My little one was prescribed this milk for suspected cmpa. I gave her 3 bottles and each time projectile vomited the whole bottle up, more than what she would normal milk. Is this common when changing milks?

My boy is 1 next week and I’m still cleaning bottles with fairy liquid and Milton tabs and then putting them in the microwave steriliser. Am I wasting my time 😂?

The problem I’m having at the moment is once I’ve sterilised my daughters bottles the condensation on them stays there for what seems like forever and I’ve been told I can’t dry them off with a cloth/tea towel literally anything. I have no idea if it’s fine to leave the condensation in the bottle and feed her or if ...

Wondering how much and how often everyone feeds their LO. Is there a certain oz you try to aim for over the course of a day?

Hi there, baby boy is now 13 months and still relies on his milk twice, sometimes 3 times a day. However he is really struggling with his bowel movements. He’s bled a few times and has been in pain since starting cows milk. I was told to put him straight onto cows milk and he does love it! But it’s giving him such...

Hi mums just wondering when you all change your babies teat size my baby is 12 weeks old and doesn’t really finish a full bottle sometimes gets tired drinking just wondered if it’s time to change to a size 2

Is anyone’s little on down to just 2 bottles a day already? My LO has zero interest in the second bottle, it’s a struggle getting the first and last one in as it is. Taking around 12oz a day

This might seem like a super stupid question but for breakfast I use a splash of blue cow milk for babies weetabix is that OK? She has formula and breastmilk as her drinking milk but just found doing a splash of blue milk in her cereal easier than boiling kettle for a tiny oz of formula? I feel like I've been doi...

Stupid question but what's the best way to make up purees? I have a blender so do I literally just blend some carrots for example, or do I need to add water or formula to it???

Is everyone giving their LOs cows milk or still giving formula? Or both? Our pediatrician told us to give her cows milk when she turned one. Just curious bc I see other babies still drinking a bottle.

How often do you all sterilise toys? I feel as though I’m not sterilising half as much as I should be

How much cows milk are you giving your little ones per day once weaned from formula?

My baby boy is 15 days old and already wants more than 3oz feeding 2/3 hours and sometimes even after 4oz is wanting more ?!? Do I give him more. He’s never sick ….

I know all babies are different but I’m feeling confused if my little one isn’t drinking enough or I’m trying to force milk on her! She lost 12.5% body weight when she was born so I guess part of the reason I worry and why she is combi fed. The back of the Kendamil recommends 180ml 5 times a day. She’s drinking arou...

Can anyone recommend any good non spill water bottles for my toddler. I’m sick of my 2 year old getting soaking wet or having the bottles leak all in the change bag etc…
