Do you sterilize after every use? Or once a day?

Hi, I’ve got a 4 day old that is issuing formula but he’s started feeding hourlyish. Midwife told us 3 hours between each feed but he’s just not sticking to it. Is this normal

Good evening mamas! I gave birth a week ago and have been breastfeeding but I feel like my milk supply is still low so I gave my baby the ready to go Enfamil formula this morning. Since then her poop is very loose. Could it be the formula? Is there a better formula for combo feeding ? Also how do I know what formul...

The last 2 months my little girl has been fussing at every feed, pushing our hands away, spitting out the bottle or shaking her head so the bottle comes out her mouth , I’m lucky if she drinks 3oz at a time whereas she used to down 6oz no fussing. I thought it may be the teat and she could be ready to move up from s...

I have a 8 week old she’s combo fed. I seem to notice she throws up more and is more uncomfortable when bf. But still throws up from formula. I tried feeding her less and also I don’t eat dairy products. Her medicine for reflux worked for about 2 weeks and then stopped being effective

So I was given a huge case of unopened baby formula from a coworker & it expired on the 17th of November. Has anyone ever given their baby expired formula?? It feels like such a waste to get rid of it…

Please help I don’t know what to do we have officially ran out of formula (which I thought would last up until baby turns 1 which is Monday) but I’ve been introducing cows milk with formula for a week and since I’ve ran out of formula I tried baby with cows milk and he’s not taking to it at all he’s waking with stom...

Hi, just a quick question, how much formula takes your baby at 1 month old? As we don't have a feeding pattern yet, sometimes mine is taking 90ml, sometimes 60ml, sometimes she's crying for more than 90.. but I'm worried to give her more as she has reflux. But she's crying for more food and obviously the hunger cues...

What milk alternatives are Mumma’s giving from cows milk? Think my baby’s allergic as at 12 months he came out in hives, runny clear nose, diarrhoea etc. We are using soya milk now, the 1-3yrs toddler milk, but it’s really sweet. We tried 3 formulas before 1yr and really don’t want to change but nurse was in my ea...

My LO is 3.5 weeks and he typically drinks expressed breast milk every 2-3 hours. He finds drinking 4oz usually no problem and sometimes I have to top him up with another oz or put him on the boob. He was born at just over 38 weeks and was 6lb8oz so wasn’t a big baby but loves his grub - doesn’t matter whether it’s...

Is anyone else doing this? I’m wondering what this looks like for others and how often you are feeding and volumes. I’ve heard breast milk feeds shouldn’t exceed 5oz so would I do the same for formula feeds?

What times are babies having their bottles? Like what’s their routines? I am moving from breastfeeding to formula and just wanted to get a gist of timings that people are doing x Also do you do dreamfeed?

When are we stopping?? 😅

Sorry for the long essay but as of last week our baby has started being sick during and after his bottles. However it’s got so much worse in the last 48 hours. Now he asks for a bottle and since he was born I usually divide the bottle roughly into 4. So for every quarter i pause to burp him, not excessively but eno...

Struggling to find the best way to make bottles when out and about ! Don’t get along with the rapid cool

How much ml/oz are your little ones drinking & how often?

How often does your babies have a bottle ? I’m introducing a bottle of formula a day to my EBF baby and after 3 hours he still not hungry 😰

Hey mamas I need help so my LO is 1 month today and he drink 4 oz every feeding. He's been having some stomach issues with spit up and diarrhea the past two days. But he's been able to tolerate 4oz on a daily. Took him to the doc and she wants me to give him only 2oz every two hrs because she says 4oz is too much fo...

Might be a stupid question but do you sterilise teething toys

I know this question gets asked alot but how much formula is everyone's baby having and how often? Mine is 15 weeks and finishing 6oz every 3 hours and sometimes struggles to wait as long as that, it just feels like a lot! If she has a bottle sooner she doesn't quite finish it.
