Is anyone else really unsure about their little one starting school next year? I just feel like he’s not ready at all, whenever I try to talk to my partner about it he just says that there’s still 9 months til he starts and he might be fine by then. I’ve seen that you can apply for them to start in reception at CSA ...

My 8 month old will no longer have a bottle of milk! I'm lucky of he will take 3oz

Hi, Is this amount of air bubbles normal for formula? Thank you!!

So my 8mo has been a bit poorly the past week and she’s really dropped her milk intake she went from having 6oz bottles to now 4 at a push 4 times a day is this enough?? She drinks water & has 3 meals a day x

My little one the past few days has only been taking 8oz on a morning then 2 or 3 Oz throughout the day and maybe about 5oz at night. She's just refusing her milk but if we offer her solids she will eat that. I always offer milk first but refuses but is clearly hungry as she eats all the food we offer. She's usually...

Any advice on how to get rid of the bottle? My son is 20 months old and we tried using the straw cups for a while now, either to sip through the day or just trying to give him a cup at bed time but he only takes 1 or 2 sips and thats it and he wont settle down and sleep until he is bottle fed. Any advice please?

If so, how much?

Like when I was using enfamil infant my baby used to drink 24-28 ounces with all his meal but when I change it to toddler he just drinks 16 ..Can that be due to more fat content in toddler formula that is why it’s more filling ?

How much milk and water does your 14 month old have roughly in a day?

Hi ,can you tell about your experience to preparing baby bottle formula

Does anyone else’s 6 month old give them a hard time with finishing bottles? I give mine 6oz around 5 times a day and she always stops drinking after 3 to 4oz. She rarely finishes bottles now but she is gaining weight (slowly). It’s just very frustrating and would love to know if anyone else relates. She is only d...

Is 36oz of formula over 24hours too much for my little one? 12 feeds of 3oz every two/three hours? He is two weeks old… he wakes and is clearly hungry, never refused a bottle and always takes the full lot?

I’ve been giving my son 6 to 12 months aptamil and I sent my husband to buy one .. I’m sure yall can guess. He bought number 1 . I know that midwives advise that they’re basically the same but will he be fine taking the number one because he’s been having the number since he turned 6 months and he’s nearly 7 months now

So I’ve been on a never ending cycle lately with my 7 week old boy Usually, he takes around 3 1/2 ounces of breastmilk pumped sometimes when he’s having a growth spurt, I’ll just keep adding an extra ounce Lately it’s taking him almost an hour to an hour and a half to finish a bottle And then in another 20 to 3...

So my boy (nearly 8 months) wasn’t a big eater until this week but now he has become an unstoppable force when it comes to solids. He usually has at least 32oz of milk in 24 hours (I know that it’s sometimes quite a lot but he’s always been a milk guzzler and it averages out over the week) but this has dropped to ar...

I have bought a milton cold water steriliser but have read a lot of comments on most branded baby bottles about the numbers/markings coming off. Apparently, milton speeds up the deterioration process of ink. I had planned on keeping sterilised bottles in the milton solution until I needed to use them, but now put of...

Has anyone transitioned from stage 1 to stage 2? I wanted to try but I heard it causes constipation.

Anyone using the Tommee tippee prep machine and finding its giving their baby bad colic? We are having trouble with trapped wind, burping, hours of crying sounds like he's in pain.. we use the prep machine and have the nuby rapid cool and have found when we use the nuby he seems more settled. We use the MAM bottles

We’ve always used Doctor Browns anti colic bottles but they’re such a faff to wash with the vents and taking so much time. We’ve tried Tommee tippee and lansinoh but he fusses with them and we end up putting the milk back in the Dr Browns ones. Anyone successfully switched from these bottles/trays to another brand...
