How many ounces of formula should a 6 month old have! Daily

My little girl is 3 weeks old and formula fed and we use tommee tippee bottles. They came with size 1 teats as standard, but she was drinking 1-2oz then falling asleep from exhaustion and had poor weight gain after losing 8% of her birth weight so the midwives were concerned, and she's only just gotten back to her b...

My 2 month old is currently on 5oz every 4 hours but as of today is taking 5oz every 3 hours, can I up it to 6oz and see how she goes or would that be feeding her too much as she still so little!

This might seem like a really stupid question, I’ve bought the nuby rapid cool flasks but I’m wondering how you can make numerous bottles from them as once you’ve done 1 bottle, the cool flask will need washing….for when I’m out and about. How does everyone else do this whilst on the go? As it seems pointless if I c...

For those that are bottle feeding how often are you doing so now LOs are weaning? I used to feed 8oz every 3 hours but my LG doesn’t seem to want that much anymore.

My little one is combi fed breast and formula and we use mam bottles. Still using number 2 teat is that okay or should it be something else not sure as my first was ebf. Thanks x

So we had a drs appointment the other day and was told I can start giving them whole milk twice a day and have 1 formula bottle but my question is should I warm the whole milk up for them first or just leave as is

I’m going to go to GP but just wondering if anyone can confirm if this is normal? He has been teething for 3 weeks with the top set now and really irritable and barely eating solids but now is also refusing his milk. He had one bottle at 3pm yesterday and then refused his bedtime one and had a 7oz at 3am, now refus...

So she’s currently on 8oz bottles. She has a bottle early morning 6am then 3 meals and a bottle for bed around 8pm but she wakes at around 2am for another feed and drinks the whole 8oz each bottle. Should I be upping the amount?

Hi ladies, I was told by my health visitor that babies should start to be weaned off the bottle at 12 months (although she said that's going by the test book but she knows lots of babies that still have a night bottle before bed a lot older). My babe is 14 months old and i am starting to think about switching them...

I wash everything after every use, but I usually sanitize in bulk at the end of the day and sometimes reuse bottles without sanitizing afterwards. Anyone else?

How many bottles/Oz of milk is everyone's baby having in a 24 hour period? My LB is having 6-7oz every 5 hours and it just doesn't seem like he's getting enough, this has only started in the last week or so, before that he was having 5-6oz every 3-4 hours so to me it seems like he's dropped quite a lot 🤔 he's 17 weeks

My LO has dropped from 6Oz to 5/4oz since weaning it’s not a lot but he’s just not drinking as much milk. I’m guessing this is normal! Has this happened to anyone else?

My girl is 15 months coming up to 16 and she usually has morning and bedtime milk I always offer 6oz Over the past week or so she’s been having less and less on a morning sometimes literally only 3oz so today I decided to cut the bottle and bring breakfast forward Tonight I offered 6oz again and she has only had 3oz...

How long did it take your older child to transition to having a new baby in the home? My son is 2 and the last two week with his new sister being here have been horrible. I know he’s going through a lot with the new ‘normal’ but I’m just not sure how much more I can handle 😞

Looking for recommendations for portable bottle warmers for breast milk? Anyone have any suggestions?

How many oz milk are your littles having a day? And anyone started weaning yet?

Just a quick question as I am confusing myself 😂. If I fill the nuby flask up and use this with the cool , are these able to be used 2/3 times before being sterilised? Just thinking for night feeds.

My 7m old has been hit with cough, wheezing, blocked nose, chest infection and ear infection and fever past week which as a result has completely messed with his appetite. I can only get him to drink about 2-3 ounces per feed and in 24 hours he is only drinking about 12-14 ounces which is very low to what he is norm...

Does anyone have any experience using the baby brezza formula machine? We used the tommee tippee prep machine with my first and found it created a lot of bubbles and he had terrible wind/colic. It appears the only other prep machine on the market is the baby brezza but I’ve heard mixed reviews as it doesn’t do the h...
