Please help me mummas 🥺 Venting and asking for advice/reassurance I think 😬 My little boy will be 4 months in a few days and it’s such a struggle to get him to take enough milk (he’s formula fed). He’s so fussy now. He’ll push the bottle out of his mouth, bat it away with his hands, just flat out refuse to open…

FTM, my son is 8 months, we ended up decreasing his bottles to from 5ozto 4oz because he wasn't finishing them. He drinks about 5 bottles a day. Is 20oz of milk a day still okay for him? He is eating solids 3 times a day. I just want to make sure he's getting what he needs. Pic of my boy so it doesn't get lost

I’m introducing formula for the night time feeds but baby isn’t taking it so well and even with winding attempts is spitting it back. He’s EBF - but from expressed milk as he has always struggled latching on for full feeds as he was prem - but I’m struggling to meet his demand now so need formula to help me out espe...

I have a strictly breastfed baby(5mo) and i might be going back to work in the next month or two, so I need to get my baby use to a bottle. Long story short… he hates them. I’ve gone though a couple different types of bottles and nipples. I’m now on the Tommee tippee bottles which he will tolerate for about an ounce...

Please can somebody help? I have been exclusively breastfeeding for 10 months now and have had to start giving formula as I’m not feeling well and taking medication that I’m worried would pass on to baby. Please could someone tell me how much milk he should be having?

What’s your little ones height? We last checked our babies height about 6 weeks ago (my parents have a cute height chart thing to see all the grandchildren grow 😊) but her height hasn’t changed in that time. Is this normal? She’s 75cm and 15 months old.

How many bottles and what quantities are your 8 week olds drinking?

For those of you who have started weaning or done it before, do you have any tips on where to start? I’m going to do purées first, how long would you recommend to do this before moving on to finger food?

So my little girl is 6 months old and is now drinking water, eating foods etc etc! I’ve personally stopped sterilising her bottles because she drinks tap water from a non sterile cup, eats off non sterile plates and spoons etc! she was chewing the table in a restaurant yesterday so i thought what’s the point! has an...

Hi All! My LG is 11 months now & im wondering, what are you guys doing with your bottles? I feel awful for just throwing them away. I have all the teat sizes, the bottles small and big and I’m 🥴🥴 Do people donate them? Mine are all in good shape, they’ve turned yellow from all the sterilising. Are you keeping them…

Hi ladies My little boy is almost 15 months. I was wondering what everyone else's LO milk intake is and what times do they have it. My little one has a bottle before bed and that's it, unless he's poorly and doesn't eat anything. Recently had a doctors visit and they asked about his milk and food. They're happ...

I feel so stupid. My husband and I prep formula bottles for my son with the ready to eat similac sensitive formula. Last night a drunk driver crashed into the power line pole right outside our door (actually so thankful it didn’t hit the house). Does anyone know how long the formula can last if we don’t open the fri...

Which steralisers are you going for? Was told uv ones aren't safe so don't know whether to go for steam or microwave and which brand

Hi girls I feel very daft.. but could anyone explain me to me how I make a bottle with powder formula? I’m due in a few weeks and I’m not sure how to make a bottle at all. I have a prep machine but also have been told about the hot shot method would anyone be able to tell me how I make a bottle?

So I'm currently using Mamia formula from Aldi for my 3 month old, as many people recommended this brand, but I'm planning to switch to Kendamil or Aptamil. When is it advisable to switch ? Any suggestions? And which brand is better?

My little girl is 4 weeks, experiencing constipation, colic and reflux. I've heard some babes have issues with Aptamil doing this and after some research, many people recommend Hipp Organic. So I've got the new formula, but it's completely different measurements. With Aptamil we're currently on 5 scoops to 150ml, ...

Are you worried about microplastics in the plastic bottles or using them anyway?

Bottle fed babies on kendamil are you still on the pink first stage milk or have you switched to the stage 2 blue milk?

How much formula and how often is everyone feeding their 9 month old? Im starting to wean from the breast and no idea how much formula to offer! He has always breastfed on demand, except for one night time formula bottle of 7oz.

My baby girl is on 5oz bottles for about 3 weeks now as she was draining the 4oz bottles all the time. Now she’s starting to drain the 5oz bottles. Is she too young to move up to 6?
