I’ve made the bottle as instructed… but there’s bits of residue left around the bottle has anyone else found this to be grainy? And is that ok? He’s just had his first bottle of it and was really sick is this normal? I suppose his little tummy has to get used to it?

Do I need to sterilise bottles and breast pump equipment? Conflicting advice online so I’m not sure. Baby is just over 6 months old and has started solids if that makes a difference?

How many bottles does your little one drink a day and how many oz per bottle? (Excluding nights because my little is sleeping through the night currently without waking to feed)

Is 5oz too much for a 3 week old? He’s draining 4oz every bottle and around 5-8pm when he’s having these 4oz he’s crying for more an hour later, I want to up him but I dont want to give him a sore tummy

Hi mamas, Have any of you used infacol for your little ones? I'd like to hear your experience if you did, please. These days I feel like my boy is drinking his milk/formula too fast though we try and pace him and burp him in between and after, but he gets gassy and wakes himself up if he can't pass it day or nigh...

When do you change to size 2 teats? My little one is 11 weeks today and is combi fed. Thank you for any advice

So yesterday a family member had my little one for the evening (8 weeks old) Usually he is breastfed with the occasional bottle of formula. He usually has one bottle of formula and evening with my partner. He had three bottles of formula and a bottle of EBM as we were out for the whole evening. Usually he sleeps bet...

How much and how often are you feeding your babies! My LO is only taking 2-3oz every 2-3 hours! At night she will also sleep 4 hours between feeds!

When you are noting down how much you LO has fed do you include the volume increases or not? So if making 150ml and they drink it all are you noting 150 or 160 with the volume increase of the powder?

Changing from prep machine to nuby rapid cool and just have a query about the rapid cool! Hot-shot method - How are people working out their hotshot? Some people say it should be 10ml hot shot per oz and you measure this in the lid but isn’t this so awkward if you’re out and about? Taking the teat off whilst trying...

I’m struggling right now, my little girl turned one a week ago and the health visitor said that we needed to go onto whole milk so we have and it’s been such a struggle, she’s drinking it fine but she’s gone from waking once in the night for a bottle, having 4oz ish of formula and going back to sleep, she’s not waki...

Anyone’s baby not feeding enough ? My baby was okay till 1st month, since then his feeding varies a lot. He doesn’t take larger volume anyway only sometimes 120ml otherwise half.

Hi all Ive been exclusively breastfeeding my 3 month old but now looking to start introducing some formula feeds Whats the best way to go about this?

How much milk are your 16 month olds having now? I'm currently doing 1 in the morning followed with cereal and then more milk before bed? Wondering if I can just drop to 1 before bed?

What’s your go-to Whey Protein Powder? Preferably one that isn’t chalky powdery shit 😅

My little girl said her first word today - mummy she's 5month 6days old and my first baby was 6 months so was wondering what age was other people's baby's

Any idea how to give bottle to my LO? She is breastfed baby with occasional bottle feeding. But now she completely gave up bottle. Any idea how to reintroduced it? I changed the teat size too (initially on 0, now trying to give 3). Should i try diffrent bottle altogether?

Hi I’m going to be first time mum. I am due next month. I was just wondering how do people prepare their babies milk formula for the night feeds?

My LO turned 1 a week ago. He's breastfed morning and night, and has been on bottles before his 2 day naps for a while. Over the past few weeks we've slowly swapped formula for cow's milk in the bottles - next step is offer the milk in a sippy cup instead. He eats 3 good meals per day, no snacks. I'm aware I should...

Girls please help with advice! My 8 months old baby is rejecting all types of formula. She was breastfeeding only but before 3 months old used to have 1 bottle of formula. After 3 months she is not eating from bottle. Even if my milk inside she is fighting to take away. I have tried different nipples and water bottl...
