Little one 1 year old. Are you still giving your 1 year old a morning and night bottle?

My baby is breastfeed and is nearly 6 months old. He very occasionally has expressed milk or formula from a bottle and I’m still using the same teats we have had from birth (so technically size 0) which he still takes fine. Is there any issue with this or should I have been sizing up to bigger sizes?

I’m having a hard time giving enough time to my toddler. Feel like a bad mom for it. How do you split you time enough?

Currently got a 1 month old and thinking I'm going to start expressing with a view to introducing a bottle in the next couple of weeks. Anyone got an idiots guide eg when is best to express as not currently replacing a specific feed? Can I just store in bags in fridge or freezer depending on when I want it to be use...

My LG is 5 weeks old, and it takes her 1/1.5 hours to finish her milk. Sometimes, she doesn't even finish half of what she needs to eat and falls asleep from sucking for too long. I'm currently using a correct teat size and all (size 2 from birth and size 3 is from 3 months), but I'm not sure what the problem is. ...

Please comment if less or more 🫶🏻

So my 4 month nearly 5 month old is having 180-210 mill (6/7 oz) every 4 hours during the day so she’s having basically 4 bottles a day and then sleeping through the night. We have tried to give her the 5th bottle as nhs website advises 5-6 bottles a day during this age but she just doesn’t not want that 5th bottle....

My 3 month old isn’t gaining weight and has now dropped to the lowest centile. I’ve been told to top up with formula but little man wont take it. And if he does, he vomits. Any advice please? Stressed and anxious as my breast milk clearly isn’t enough but he’s not taking any formula.

Hi all what formula would you recommend please? Was using kendermill but heard a few bad things…

I’ve been looking into anti colic bottles for when baby arrives 21weeks currently and just need some feedback on what people are using, i definitely want anti colic just to tick it off but which is best?

When do you introduce meal times? We’re getting very close to 6 months and she is more than ready but I’ve still only been giving her a little taste here and there, more so because I’m nervous to start properly: I’ve read endless amounts on weaning but what I don’t come across often is routines/ meal times and I kn...

My baby girl is on 7oz but is starting to be hungry again much quicker between feeds? If I increase the feed to 8oz she either doesn’t finish it or gets a bit sicky. What’s everyone else on??

My baby is now 8 months and I’m planning on transitioning onto formula. If I give formula through a sippy cup, do you still need to sterilise it? I was under the impression you do with bottles because the bacteria can get stuck in the teat but I was told it wasn’t needed for cups?

Is anyone else’s 7 week old refusing the bottle? He seems happy in himself but is taking 1-2oz and doesn’t want anymore he’s gone from guzzling 5oz to not wanting it at all

My LG is 15 days old and I'm clueless on how much she should be feeding each day. During the day, she'll go 3-4 hours between feeds and take around 4oz each time. She's been over her birth weight since day 11, so I know she can go longer overnight. How much should she be taking a day? She was 3.55kg on day 11

Is anyone else’s little one still having some formula feeds? I feel like I’m doing something wrong, he has cows milk during the day but formula when he wakes up and before bed

My baby is 24days old he's on 4oz and is wanting more milk after 2 hours 😩 could this be normal ? Is he having a growth spurt?

How often does your little one have feeds and how much?? My little girl is 5-6 weeks and is on 5oz but draining the bottles.. shall we up to 6oz I’m conscious wether or not it’s to much for her age

My sons now on cows milk, but at what age do you drop the morning bottle and for how long before you then drop the night bottle Like when should they fully be off cows milk

I’m due baby no.2 November 13th. Anyone got any tips for the jump from 1-2? Especially the transition for my little girl💕
