I’ve just read that you should never pour boiling water into the bottle! Is this common knowledge?!! I’ve always used the hot shot method using the Tommie Tippee cooler but I’ve always measured out the boiling water from my mam bottle? Does anyone else do it this way with there mam bottles ? Feeling like I’m goi...
How is everyone making up bottles when out and about and on a night? Are we making some in advance or all from scratch?
Do you just wash spoons or wash and sterilise (6 months)
I'm 10 weeks pregnant and plan to keep it a secret as long as possible. How do I include my kids (3.5 and 1.5)? My oldest can be a bit of a blabber mouth and tells everyone everything 😂 I want to prepare them for a new baby coming home but am unsure how to keep them included while keeping the secret from everyone…
Hi all my little one has been on SMA Alfamino for the last 4 and has been screaming every day and night (apart from the odd smile for 5 mins in between). She was feeding fine for the first 2 weeks on this formula but suddenly dropped her feeds by less than 50% of her usual intake. We’ve been back and forth to the gp...
Our shopping today has subbed our usual Aptamil 1 tub for the big pack which is two bags. If anyone buys this, can we decant the powder into an old Aptamil tub and use that for the leveller bit? Or do you have any other ideas?
Hey! How much milk is everyone’s September 23 babies having in a day? And is it cows/breast or formula milk? My wee girl has a morning bottle (7oz), afternoon (5oz) and bedtime (8oz). I’m assuming health visitor will say this is too much? She has a very varied diet and eats really well (3 meals and an afternoon sn...
interested to see how much and how often your babies are feeding. my little boy is 3 weeks and 4 days old and was having 4oz every 2 hours which i felt was a lot. we moved him into hungry baby formula still at 4oz however still got to bang on 2 hours and was very hungry again. we put it up an extra oz and he seems t...
So I’ve been slowing introducing cows milk into my lo bottles by adding it with his formula so he doesn’t notice it as much! We’re getting to the point where we are low on formula so we decided to give him only cows milk in his morning bottle today and he drank about an ounce of it and then was done. He has never r...
How much milk does your 15 month old have? When should we start reducing/stopping?
FTM I am flying tomorrow with my 5month old she is on formula completely. I bought a small unopened can of formula for our flights, I am having anxiety about TSA not allowing it. I have looked at there rules and guidelines but there very vague, so I am wondering what other people’s experiences with TSA and formula? ...
It’s getting to the point I’m basically having to in his arms down with my arms while feeding him. He’s gone so bad for pushing his bottle out his mouth then crying because he’s not getting food. He’s driving me up the wall 🤣🤣🤣 Anyone else going through this?
Had my little boy on the 21st October and loving every moment even the long nights! I’m just wondering how much everybody’s babies are drinking? He started off on 2oz then was drinking all 3oz and now he has just had his first 4oz bottle. It just seems like a lot for how young he is…
My nearly 14 month old has been off her one and only bottle of milk a day (at bedtime) but during the transition to cows milk from formula. I got to 6oz of cows milk and 3oz of formula and she was drinking some of this and then nothing at all and has been refusing this bottle for just over a week now? I’ve even trie...
Either stage 2 or 1 at this point we’ve been so many shops to try get it and it seems there’s never any been trying to get some every time I’ve left the house this week and I’m now one bottle away from being out where can I get a tub of kendamil ASAP
Due to a comment from a family member about feeding him too much I’m now over thinking this but I’m very 50/50 on this. My 10.2 week old boy who weighs a hearty 14.6lbs has been on 6oz, 5 times a day that he wants more milk. He’s a bit fussy after the bottle finishes but soon settles. I’ve given him 7oz per bottle...
Does any one use SMA Althera ? We've just been prescribed it and cleaning the bottles after is a chore due to how greasy they are! Lol What does everyone do to clean them ? I soaked them in boiling water earlier then scrubbed them with a bottle brush but still seemed to have a greasy residue inside ?
Anyone know if there is a formula shortage going on?? Every single store around me is completely out of stock or almost out of stock with 1-2 cans left of similac sensitive formula. I’m curious why almost every store is out of the formula I give my baby girl!!
Any ideas on how to transition to cows milk? My LB has just turned 1 he still wakes up in the night for 2/3 bottles. I’ve tried doing cows milk during the day and formula at night but he just doesn’t like the cows milk at all. Any advice?
My baby girl is tiny so at just over 7 months she has 5x5oz bottles at day with breakfast ,lunch (solids) and snacks also on top ! Now I’ve tried upping her milk to 6oz she is only having 4 bottles a day and not wanting to eat any solids ! So should I go back to my normal routine ?! So stressful help 😭
