Okay how many bottles do I actually need to buy to survive the 0-3 month stage please? Ideally I do x1 wash per day - but I have no clue how many bottles I need roughly to make that happen - any help would be appreciated!

Hey mammas, my 4 month old has started drinking a lot less milk throughout the day. He used to drink 180ml every 3 hours and now he’s only drinking around 120ml sometimes less… is this normal? And could it lead to more night time feedings? (That’s actually my fear😅)

My little one is four months he’s been combi fed and has no real routine with feeds sometimes he takes formula more and others he only wants breast milk. However I think breast feeding is coming to an end, as I do not think my supply is there and it’s hard monitoring how much he is having. How much/often is everyone...

Hey, my LO is 2 weeks old and showing signs that she’s still hungry after feeding but she’s already at the max recommended amount for a 4 week old according to the aptamil box…? Do I keep feeding her if she wants it? Or not go over the max amount on the box 🤔

Just looking at some responses on how much formula baby is getting - are mums going by when the baby is rooting or what the box says ?

My 11 week old baby (who was 4 weeks premature) is around 11lb which the health visitor says is on track considering prem but she only takes 4oz every 4/5 hours ish. She probably takes in about 600ml a day with encouragement. Do we think this is ok?

Is there any way to take formula out and about which I have already made up? For context.. my LO is on a prescription formula which isn’t always in stock meaning we are super careful with wasting any as it can be like gold dust!! He is now taking more ml per feed, but there is always a bit spare so currently we h...

How are we preparing neocate LCP? I was boiling the kettle and allowing the kettle to cool for 30 mins (as per instructions), then transferring to a flask and using hot shot and rapid cooling the rest.

so i know milk is main source of nutrition/hydration til age 1 and naturally the amount they take may go down with weaning. i'm wondering whether it might be time to drop a bottle as my almost 8 month old rarely finishes one these days - i offer 6oz bottles. could someone have a look at current feeding schedule and ...

What size teat and oz’s are your December babies on? My baby was born the 16th December so coming up to 4 months soon. He’s on size 1 teat and 5oz bottles, he seems to be fine with this but I’m starting to wonder should he go up one now with both things?

How many ml of formula at 4 month old?

My LO is 3 months now and showing signs of teething so I am trying to switch him to bottle instead of breast. I plan to wean him off slowly but he won't take to the bottle at all.
