I’m planning on formula feeding my baby and considering using Aldi’s Mamia infant formula. Does anyone use this and can tell me how it is? I’ve heard it’s a copy of Aptamil but almost half the price which is super helpful, but haven’t seen of a lot of people actually using it.

Mine is 8 weeks old I always make him 150ml but some times he doesn’t take all of it as he’ll fall asleep on the bottle. He was going every 3-4 hour 4.5 on a night. However he seems to have slipped backwards and has started sometimes demanding every 2 hours which makes me think I haven’t satisfied him??? But then...

I’m thinking of switching my baby’s formula because I’m getting tired of these shortages. Has anyone else done this? How did it go and what formula have you switched to?

What size teats are everyone using ? My baby is starting to drink her bottle really slow and get annoyed. And isn’t always finishing her bottle. I’m not sure if I should up her teat size. She is 11 weeks old and currently on teat 1 x

Do you have to pour out the water from the warmer each time or do you keep it inside and warm it up each time?

How is everyone making bottles for night feeds? I had the Brezza prep machine however, had to stop using it because it gave my son an upset stomach.

My 8months old keeps reducing his formula intake daily prefers more of solids but I don’t want him to take more of solids am I wrong? Is it okay for him to get off formula just yet?

Hi, just looking for some reassurance really please! My baby is a week old, and each feed is different but he usually has between 30-45ml per feed, I try to give him more but he just doesn’t want it, should I be worried? He did have a feed at 7pm where he had 50ml, then another at 8:25pm where he had 15ml then anoth...

Ladies, my daughter turned 1 on 30th October. I am still giving her formula in her baby bottles (I have 4 packets of formula left). I have gone down to 2 bottles from today and given her vitamin drops. How many oz/ bottles are you giving your 1 year old? I will be transitioning to sippy cup and cows milk soon.

Is there a formula shortage right now I went to four different stores and was only able to get one can 🤬🤬🤬

My baby is bottle fed and we're going on a holiday soon, the hotel doesn't have a microwave! What is the best solution for sterilising bottles when not at home?

Hi mamas, I’ve been weaning my 6m for about 3 weeks now and have been mainly giving him 1 Ella’s kitchen pouch (only just moved up to 2 as in 2 meals) a day and a few melty sticky’s here and there but now I’ve been told they need to try BLW and not puree. Am I a bad man? Is there any harm in using pureee? I’m so anx...

Hi does anyone know how many ounces a 5 week old should be eating? I exclusively pump so my baby gets 2 oz of breastmilk every 2 hrs. If he is still hungry, I will give him an oz of formula. He also gets formula 2-3 times during the middle of the night. I tried feeding him 3 oz about every 3 hrs over the weekend. I...

Hi What size teats are your 12 month olds using on MAM bottles?

Hi, im starting to transition my boy from formula to whole milk. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to do so? He doesn't seem to like cold whole milk, so I'm not sure if I should do half formula, half milk?

I've lost the clear lids for my bottle. Anyone know where I can buy some replacements. It's very annoying cause I can't sterilise the bottles without them 😞

I've asked this in here before but when did your child grow out of cmpa. My daughter is 11 months and still no luck😩

So my baby is nearly 5 months old he’s on 7 ounces of formula! He seems to now cry after he’s finished his bottle but 7 ounces is quite a lot and I didn’t know if you even do 8 ounces? Is that a stupid question or literally do you only ever do 7 ounces until they start to introduce food?. on the packet, I’m sure onl...
