Hi ladies my son turn 6 months on October 13th. Since last week he’s been refusing to drink anything greater than 4oz. I started solids on him when he was 5 months and he would still drink his milk but now he barely drinks his milk. He used to drink 6-8oz every 3 to 4 hours but now he’s fighting with me and won’t dr...

Since my son has moved into cows milk he’s nearly 13 months now and he has bad stools all the time I did contact the health visitor and told me to bare with or maybe go back to formula but it’s been nearly a month now, he’s fine with yogurts and cheese and stuff like that it’s just since having cows milk it’s not ag...

How can a SAHM adjust to their growing toddler without losing your mind!? My son was so easy before toddlerhood. And I expected a bumpy ride, but he is just driving my patience crazy. He's picky, barely eating, and doesn't want to listen much. Yes, all to be expected. My question is, how do I, as a mom, stay focused...

Hi ladies When are you planning on taking the bottle away. My first son hated bottles and got rid of his own his own when he was about 13-14 months old. My son now only has a night bottle and drinks his milk in the morning from a cup. Idk when typically the bottle goes away.

What sterilisation methods are we thinking of doing for bottles/dummies? There are so many different techniques!! I think I’m going to use the Milton cold water steriliser but would love to know if there are easier ways to sterilise

Yall my boys are 2 weeks old. Theyre not at their birth weight so we have to go back for another appointment in a couple days. They say they should be eating 2-3 oz each feed.

How many cans of formula are you going through every week?

Anyone else found this? I have 8 bottles with size 1 teats for my 2 week old and some tests let milk out super fast and it chokes him and some don’t, if I tip the bottle of milk upside down it leaks out some teats but not all - they are all size 1 so I don’t get why? I’ve been wondering why some feeds are difficult ...

How many oz/feeds in a day and how much solids are they having?

I have always given my son a bottle right before bed then put him straight down but I heard people saying we shouldn’t be doing that. What’s the best thing to do?

Anyone know where I can get kendamil organic or whole milk it’s been out for weeks and down to my last can 😫

Does anyone possibly have any spare please? My GP isn't keen on prescribing it but I don't really want to waste the formula we have for the night feeds....

and comment the reason why…

My son has just turned 6 weeks and currently weighing 12Ibs10. He is constantly hungry and wanting to feed every couple of hours. Sometimes he will take 5ounces and other times only 3. Worrying I’m not feeding him enough or feeding too much.. as he always seems unhappy/hungry. Interested to hear what other people ...

This might be a silly question but do you warm up the cows milk when mixing it in with the formula? I’m planning to start weaning my LO tonight as he turns 1 next Tuesday. He usually has an 8oz bottle before bed so I was going to do 6 or 7oz formula and the rest cows milk but I don’t know whether to warm the cows m...
