Hi I’m just curious in what others food/milk routine is like. I’m finding it difficult fitting in 3 meals and 3 bottles a day, just seems like she’s constantly eating/drinking. Also since offering her third meal (added in lunch) she’s not drinking as much milk and is on around 20oz a day

I’m introducing SMA Advanced formula to my currently EBF baby. What do you do when you are out for the day and using powdered formula? Do you prepare bottles in advance? Sorry if it’s obvious but it’s all new to me

I'm new to purees as I didn't do them with my first, except for the odd soup but that didn't work out so doing a combination of purees and blw this time. What is the best way to store/freeze purees if you cook more than baby will eat. How do you manage /rotate these?

Has anyone else noticed a decrease in their baby’s appetite over time? My baby is now taking less than half the amount of formula he used to, and it’s been almost two weeks. He’s using MAM bottles with a size 2 teat. Any advice or help would be greatly appreciated. 😔

How are people planning to move from formula to milk, also how are people dropping feeds as at the moment my baby is very still dependent on milk. He has five bottles a day which I plan to start reducing over time and hopefully only be on two bottles. Just wondered how everyone has found balancing bottles and food.

I’ve been gifted a Momcozy M5, I was going to test it and am reading the manual. Saw that you can’t use microwave nor UV steriliser (which I have). It’s showing to sterilise with hot boiling water but if it touches the sides it can cause damage blah blah 😶‍🌫️ Does anyone have this brand? Can I use cold water…

My little girl has her bottles at room temperature. She is on special milk so I have to boil the kettle in the morning and pre fill the water ready for the day. I've found now it's colder the bottles seem colder. How do you guys keep it at room temp and when you go out?

My baby is 6 weeks old and weighs 14 pounds 5 ounces. He’s on the 98th centile for weight. (He was 8’10 at birth). He’s waking up 5 times in the night to feed and takes a good 45 mins to an hour to feed. Then during the day he wants to feed every hour. We’re EBF and on demand but it’s too much for me. He’s always h...

My baby wants to drink 5 oz of milk every two hours and at this point my supply is seriously dropping. I don’t want to start formula. I need help!! Any advice?

Will this baby be the 2nd under 2 when born for anyone? I am excited but so nervous my baby is only 7 months old and will be 16 months when June baby arrives. Not sure how I will have energy to take care of my 7 month old who can’t walk 😫😫

My LO is 2 months now and continues to have a bottle top up after being on my breast (due to limited milk supply) but only has 2-3oz (sometimes less) of formula. Feel like she should be drinking more as she’s getting older/bigger but hard to know exactly how much she’s having in total. Her weight has been stable so ...
