Just wondering how many bottles/oz a day is everyone’s LOs having? We were told by our community nurse to try and lower how much our LO is taking so just wondering what the happy medium is😂

What can help with rsv in 6 months old

My baby boy is 5 months and literally drinks 9oz/260ml in one sitting, and cries for more as if he hasn’t had a drink 😅 When he was born he was 9.7lb so he is a big baby 👶🏻 but like i don’t want to over feed either? I normally give him 5-6 bottles a day…. help or advice if this is normal?? he stays awake for around…

so we've recently introduced a bottle once a day to our little girl who's 15weeks and was EBF (after weeks of trying different bottles and her refusing!) - she's finally taking the lansinoh bottle and accepts kendamil+breastmilk combo from my husband before bed. only thing is, she only takes like max 50ml before wan...

Are any other mamas having a hard time finding this formula? I live in central mass and I’ve been to so many stores and they are all sold out. Even the pediatrician office can’t get sample cans. This mama is so stressed out and feels so defeated! We started off breastfeeding but my production was low. So we starte...

My LO is 17 weeks old and about 5 weeks ago we moved from breast feeding to formula. We started him on size 1 bottle teats as he wasn’t used to having a bottle but was wondering how people knew to move onto the size 2 bottle teats…. Feel like he should maybe be on size 2’s by now but don’t know how I’d know for sure…

How much milk have everyone’s little ones been drinking in a day ?

I’m just intrigued as whenever things seem to go smoothly for us the next phase of chaos strikes 😂😂

Have you all started looking into schools for your littles ? My son is in daycare and his teacher said I should be starting now it’s freaking me out lol! My baby is growing up so fast! I’m honestly also a little confused on when he’ll be starting, since their bdays are in February would our kids start at 4yrs old ne...

If I make up a bottle and put it in his changing back how long is it good for to drink while out?

I am weaning my EBF boy off the boob and starting to replace one bottle a day. He takes the bottle no problem after a long time of trying but my issue is he only sucks briefly and then pushes it away. I have to keep trying him with big pauses in between for him to eventually take 4-5oz. I then give up once the hour ...

Anyone else’s baby just completely not interested in formula anymore? She’s probably had 8oz all day, over 3 bottles offered. She eats well and has drank around 6oz of water too so she’s hydrated but not sure what do to about milk! The HV told me yesterday to just offer morning and night and try cows milk if she’s n...

So, my son is both breastfed as well as formula fed. When he was first born he was drinking only breast milk until he had jaundice so I decided to incorporate formula to get his bilirubin down. Successfully it worked. As I was in the hospital they kept encouraging me to force fed my 3-5 day old to drink 2 oz bottles...

LG is 3 weeks + 4 days and is now drinking 4oz but not consistently. So, for example, last night, she woke up twice and had 1oz and then 2oz, but she seems to cluster feed before bed. I was just wondering if anyone else's baby is the same? Should I be worried? Hubby isn't as she looks healthy. She's chunky and was...

Hi how often do you clean / sterilise your pumps? My health visitor said it only needs to be sterilised once every 24 hours. I read online you should still wash between every pump session with hot soapy water. Would it not then need sterilising after doing this though as water isn’t sterile? Very confused and not su...

Hi everyone My LG is refusing to drink her formula today. She has had water and her x3 meals with snacks. Iv included some formula in her meals too. Just wondering if anyone has been in a similar situation? And advice will be much appreciated! 😊

Currently stuck between size 2 and 3 teats on the MAM bottles and considering switching brand bottles to see if baby gets on better with them as it’s been ages, I’ve tried the 3s so many times and she’s really starting to struggle with the 2s now. I know she definitely doesn’t get on with Tommee Tippee as tried the...

My LG had her 10th month development health visiting review this afternoon. Everything was going well until we started discussing about her milk and solids and it got me so overwhelmed I started crying as if I am doing something wrong. My LG just about has 2/3 meals a day, if she doesn’t want a meal I give her some...

Our baby is due in February and we dont have a steriliser yet. I like the sound of the Milton Cold Water steriliser as sounds so practical and easy. My husband is a bit worried as Milton smells a bit bleachy, but presuming it is not at all harmful to babies or they wouldnt sell it. Has anyone got experience with thi...

What bottle sterilisers is everyone going for? This is our first baby and we really arent sure, I like the sound of the Milton Cold Water steriliser as it sounds so practical and easy. But my husband is worried as Milton smells a bit bleachy? Has anyone got experience using this steriliser?
