How’s everyone making bottles on the go? I’m due in 2 weeks and haven’t thought about it! Prefer not to use the nuby rapid method

What teat size should a 13 week old be on for mam bottle? What size does your baby use?

My LO is 6 weeks old and EBF, he is constantly feeding nearly every 30 mins every evening and it’s starting to get me down. I’m feeling sore and like I can’t spend time with him full and content.. my partner also can’t spend any time with him after work as he just cries and mooches. He settles completely when being ...

Mine has 3 bottles of formula, and 3 solid meals a day. Is this too much?

We had our 9-12month review and had our LO measured for the first time since birth. Just curious how tall all our 1 or soon to be 1 year olds are?

Hiya Ladies, how are you storing refill packs of Formula (powder)? Whether you use the tin cans in which it comes or using some plastic tub? TIA xxx

So we’ve decided we’re going to be sticking with SMA little steps like we did with our little boy. (He was originally on aptamil but it caused bad constipation) so we finally settled for SMA. But this time round they only do SMA pro ready made formula bottles for the hospital. The formula is SMA little steps… will ...

Hey mamas! For the little ones that are eating more than 4oz but not quite 6oz, are you making 6 & just getting rid of what isn’t used or are you just somehow making just 5oz by putting half a scoop or what? I hope that doesn’t sound stupid lol but I feel like he spits up right after he finishes 6 but 4 isn’t quite ...

My boy loves his bedtime milk and still has it in a bottle. He’s also still waking in the night and won’t settle without a bottle most times. Tips for moving away from a bottle and any recommendations for what to switch to? Ideally I’d like another bottle for bed but he enjoys his Tumtum and a cup for day use

My baby is such a fussy eater and eats next to nothing no matter how hard I try to provide variety and make it a fun and positive experience! He does however really enjoy his milk so I’ve been continuing to give him 3 bottles of formula (sometimes 4) a day. Is this ok?!

My nearly 5 month old was on 7oz now for last week he is leaving 2 oz of his bottle and has no interest in it. Is this normal anyone else? He usually feeds every 3 hrs to 3.5.hrs. 5-6 bottles a day.

Looking for advice/ experience on these. My baby has 2 formulas a day that have been ready made. I'm moving to formula to save money as I'm now facing being a single mum. Please let me know what your experiences have been good and bad of prep machines and what brand you would recommend. Thanks

What size is your 8-9 week old baby using ?

I have a toddler and expecting my second very soon. Is a bottle sterilizer and dryer a good option to save on time for washing bottles? I know they are usually used for weakened immune systems, etc. but wondering if its worth it to help on saving time washing bottles when we will have our hands full. We also have a ...

Hello my little one is on 4oz but doesn’t always finish the bottles. We feed on demand, but sometimes she 120ml/4oz & sometimes only 90ml. She’s got plenty of wet nappies, she is content and is gaining weight. But it’s so hard when I see other people’s babies clearing bottles. We have upped her teats as she is tak...

I am EBF but for the past 2 weeks we’ve introduced a bottle with milk I’ve expressed. I’ve noticed when my girl is given a bottle she seems to get a bit of silent reflux. Currently using the MAM bottle with the anti colic design. Has anyone got any suggestions on bottles they’ve found are better? I would like to con...
