Anyone else’s 9 week old on 6oz bottles?
My pharmacy is shocking and I’ve waited 7 days for my prescription formula and today I’m finally running out. Which product can I buy straight off the shelf at boots ???
How many ounces does your 4 month old eat? I wanna make sure I’m feeding her/producing enough
My baby hardly eats any solid food but still loves milk. He isn’t showing any signs of wanting to drop a bottle and still has 4 7oz bottles a day. I feel like I need to try and help him reduce milk in the hope that he’ll eat more but I also am a bit skeptical of this as I just think he’s still not going to eat much ...
Mamas who are supplementing with formula what does that schedule look like? I’ve exclusively breastfed baby for almost 5 months but I get my period every 2 weeks and my supply takes a hit every time. I’m just about managing to keep up with him but I’m exhausted and my boobs hurt and I keep looking at the formula box...
Anyone else still struggling to get rid of bottles? I'm totally at a loss. My baby is a pro at drinking water out of a straw cup but refuses to drink milk out of anything but a bottle. I've spent $$ on straw cups, open cups, sippy cups but all attempts have led to major meltdowns. Any advice is appreciated🙏🏾
My 14mo is still having his cows milk in his mam bottles. He drinks water out of his TT sippy cup during the day. I'd really like to transition him to something else for his morning and bedtime milk bottles, but I just know that he loves the comfort of the bottle teats. How can I get him to transition and what sh...
My daughters Alfamino was stopped when she turned 1 we have been slowly transitioning onto a plant based milk ready. However, she has point blank refused any milk since yesterday. We’ve tried every type of alternative you can think of. I’m worried about her not having milk. As it’s a source of calcium. She doesn’t l...
My LG is 2 and a half and I’m wanting to start little Christmas traditions, not sure if she’s still too little to understand?
My 9 week old is combi feeding on demand and currently drinks 120ml formula approx every 2 hours during the day and topped up with breastfeeding. Sometimes stops at the 90ml mark. According to Google a typical 9 week old should be having 150-180ml 4-5 times a day. Of course you need to give your baby what they req...
I’ve recently gone from combi feeding my 2 month old to exclusively formula feeding. He still wants to drink every 2 hours. Everywhere I read says they should only drink 5 times a day but he drinks 8/9 times 100/120ml a time. Is this normal?
Do any mums have tips for weaning baby onto cows milk from formula? My baby is 1 in a week and I want to wean him onto cows milk but I’m not sure what is best, he has cows milk with cereal and has been fine with it for a few months. I also need to start reducing his bottles, he normally has three a day in-between br...
Has anyone given a small top up of formula with expressed breast milk? Like 1oz mixed with BM I can’t mentally or physically keep breastfeeding and want to switch to exclusive pumping but it’s going to take some time to build up bottle supply while nursing so wondering if this will help the transition (and keep hi...
What is everyone thinking about weaning/transitioning to cows milk? Little one is 11 months old today and is still VERY reliant on formula. Has frequent small amounts of food throughout the day, but very fussy. I cannot see us being weaned from formula in a month but would like to get a step closer if we can. Do...
Hey! My LB turned 1 on the 5th November and the week before that I started weaning him onto cows milk. He is a breastfed baby but he does have 1 bottle before bed. I originally started weaning him with Big Milk but I’ve come down to see my partner and they didn’t have any in the shop I went to so I just got normal...
I’m heavily considering taking up smoking weed again I’ve been sober for almost 10 1/2 months now and I stopped to keep the peace for my mental sake my parents and fiancé were heavily against the idea and I just didn’t want to be judged. I’m aware that if I smoke while feeding it’ll show in his bloodstream and I’m j...
At my daughter’s 2 month appt her doctor was a bit concerned that she wasn’t gaining as much weight as she’d like. She said she’s still gaining a good amount but not what she’d like. I breastfeed/pump but my baby is drinking 5-6oz bottles and I don’t produce enough to keep up with that especially with me going back ...
Hi Between me and my husband whilst half asleep we have accidently given out newborn baby water without the formula powder! As soon as I noticed we gave her milk and she seems fine and asleep but now I’m frightened to death incase I’ve hurt her, I think she had around 1.5 ounces please help
We've been supplementing with formula this week. But wondering if we are over doing it in the day with formula. I also breastfeed my baby too when I'm with him. But how many hours in between formula feeds should we do? My husband has been giving 4 oz every 3-4 hours but I'm thinking that's too much? I leave for ...
Do you sterilize after every use? Or once a day?
