How do I know if the teat flow is too fast or slow? He doesnt choke but milk comes out on the side of his mouth

I’ve been giving my son the wrong scoops of milk. He is 4 months old E.g : 4 scoops x 240ml My son’s a little over weight, I now know how much to give him approximately now. Will it cause any issues with him?

So I’m thinking ahead for Xmas and know I’ll have a few drinks at MILs. What’s the most efficient way to get baby’s bottle of BM to a nice warm temp?

Hi guys! I’m almost 30 weeks pregnant with my second baby and I have a 2 year old. I would really appreciate if anyone has any tips or tricks that helped with the transition! I’m more nervous about how our household will be after baby is born than labor itself 🤭

Do y’all ever let your bf/ husband make/ wash bottle or do you do them?

When he drinks the milk goes out the corner of his mouth and his mouth chin & bib gets really wet from it. Does it mean the flow is too fast? He doesn’t choke though. Does it mean he doesn’t like the teat? I breastfeed him but sometimes i like to give him bottle so i know hes getting good amount of milk, or my husb...

My mum looked after my 9 month old today while j went back to work for a few hours. I told her everything she needed but she told me she made a bottle and he had half at 11.30am and then finished off the bottle at 3pm! I think it was left out! Is this OK? I know its supposed ti be drank within 2 hours?

We boil the kettle to prepare baby’s formula but have to constantly be descaling it, I am just concerned it’s not good for baby. Has anyone got any tip to deal with this? Thanks

How many bottles/feeds a day is your LO having now and how much my LB isn't really interested in milk anymore just wants food lol so at the moment he's on 3 bottles a day morning/middle of day and evening around 6/7 oz a day and sometimes he doesn't even drink them all up he's just not interested I'm putting it down...

How much milk in mls (if bottle fed) are your 12 month olds drinking now? Thank you ☺️

My son is 8 months old he had a cold which has turned into bronchitis. I’m doing everything I can to help him but he’s refusing his milk, he’s drinking bits of water and eating his food when I told the community nurse she told me to push fluids and feeds as much as I can which I know anyway as I work in care but how...

Hi, my wee boy is 4 months in a week today, we’ve been using kendamil since he was born but have been having issues trying to get it since then and I’m just getting so tired of it! Sometimes we can find so many tubs in one day and stock up (never buy more than 2 tubs from one shop cause I’d feel so bad 🤣) but…

Anyone else’s 9 week old on 6oz bottles?

My pharmacy is shocking and I’ve waited 7 days for my prescription formula and today I’m finally running out. Which product can I buy straight off the shelf at boots ???

How many ounces does your 4 month old eat? I wanna make sure I’m feeding her/producing enough

My baby hardly eats any solid food but still loves milk. He isn’t showing any signs of wanting to drop a bottle and still has 4 7oz bottles a day. I feel like I need to try and help him reduce milk in the hope that he’ll eat more but I also am a bit skeptical of this as I just think he’s still not going to eat much ...

Mamas who are supplementing with formula what does that schedule look like? I’ve exclusively breastfed baby for almost 5 months but I get my period every 2 weeks and my supply takes a hit every time. I’m just about managing to keep up with him but I’m exhausted and my boobs hurt and I keep looking at the formula box...

Anyone else still struggling to get rid of bottles? I'm totally at a loss. My baby is a pro at drinking water out of a straw cup but refuses to drink milk out of anything but a bottle. I've spent $$ on straw cups, open cups, sippy cups but all attempts have led to major meltdowns. Any advice is appreciated🙏🏾

My 14mo is still having his cows milk in his mam bottles. He drinks water out of his TT sippy cup during the day. I'd really like to transition him to something else for his morning and bedtime milk bottles, but I just know that he loves the comfort of the bottle teats. How can I get him to transition and what sh...

My daughters Alfamino was stopped when she turned 1 we have been slowly transitioning onto a plant based milk ready. However, she has point blank refused any milk since yesterday. We’ve tried every type of alternative you can think of. I’m worried about her not having milk. As it’s a source of calcium. She doesn’t l...
