My little boy still seems to have a lot of milk. BF upon waking Breakfast 6oz bottle (at minder) x3 Lunch dinner BF to bed BF once or twice at night He eats 3 meals a day and snacks and milk. He isn't a huge boy, only just going into 9 to 12 month clothes and was 18lb 3 3 weeks ago. I know need to switch...

Is there anyone on here who is bottle feeding and using cold water sterilisation? If you are, how do you manage taking bottles out for the day? The instructions on Milton say to use the bottle immediately but that’s not always practical if you’re out and about 🤦🏻‍♀️

Our baby is 6 months. He is in the 1 percentile for weight at like 13.6 pounds and the 60th percentile for height. My husband is worried he doesn't weigh enough. Baby was exclusively breastfed. Now that I'm back at work he has 2 bottles (One breastmilk and one high calorie formula) and I'm pumping 2 times at work wh...

How on earth do you stop the teat from pissing out milk? I use teat number 2 but the flow is a constant stream for the first few times

Hi All I’m finding how and when to give cows milk a little confusing atm. I keep hearing we need to be reducing the number of bottles we give but then how do you ensure your child has sufficient nutrients? Is there a minimum or maximum? My little one has started nursery recently and I drop her off soon after she ...

How much milk are your little ones drinking! Mine still won’t go above 180 ml and I’m often having to split into two feedings over 4 hours as he won’t take it all! Is that normal? I’m so used to babies in my families always wanting lots of milk but mine seems like he wants the bare minimum of what’s needed …

Anyone can help with the instructions? My son is on 6oz currently and weighs over 10lb. The instructions say give one sachet per 4oz feed but as my son is having more, should I be giving 2sachets? He only has it every other feed anyway as I don’t want him to become too reliant on it however I don’t think it’s workin...

We have a Tum tum and a doidy at home but need something to take out that won’t spill in the bag

Can anyone recommend a washer, steriliser and dryer please? Or even just a steriliser & dryer. It’s such a chore having to wait for them to air dry🤣 thanks in advance!

28th May boy born a week late at 8.2lbs How often are you feeding and how much? He’s having 25-30oz depending if he wakes in the night. 5 /6 bottles in 24hours roughly. In size 6-9 months but not for long lol 😂

When did people stop sterilising bottles? My little one is half and half with food and milk and it feels a bit redundant sterilising her bottles when she’s on the move and putting none sterile things in her mouth yet I am still sterilising her bottles🤦‍♀️ EDIT- I am formula feeding and making bottles by adding…

When/How are you giving your 14mos their milk? Also how much are you giving now?

Hi Everyone. I'm just curious to know how much formula your babies are having at 11 months old. My baby will be 11 months on 24th October. He's a big eater - breakfast, lunch and tea. He eats everything - fruit, veg, protein etc. He's now only having one 9oz bottle at night, I dropped his mid-morning feed because...

How much milk is everyone’s 12 month old having to drink in the day now? We are mid transition from formula to cows milk (just using up the last of the formula). My little girl has never been a massive eater in terms of solids, still gags a lot and tends to spit out any chunks etc so doesn’t actually swallow a lot ...

Finally my 22mo is accepting milk from a straw cup (tum tum) but is this actually progress from a bottle, as it’s still a rubber thing that sits behind the teeth like a bottle teat would?? So is it any better or not? I know the main goal is a cup but we’re a way off that over here 😅 so just trying to save his…

My baby is almost 5 months and I have been EBF and in the last few weeks I’ve introduced one bottle of pumped milk before bed in a bottle. I’m wondering for those in a similar situation if and when have you introduced formula to your baby? I’d like to bf as long as I can but I feel like giving him another bottle dur...

Heyyy lovelies, My little boy will be 10 weeks this Friday and he’s still on 4oz every 3/4 hours. Sometimes he will only takw 2/3oz of that bottle though. Is this ok? Do I need to up it even though he doesn’t always take the 4oz? What is everyone else’s little ones on? Xxx

My son is 2 weeks old and he acts hungry every 1 to 1.5 hours. I try other things before getting the bottle but it always turns out he wants the bottle. I only bottle feed and he drinks about 1-2 ounces every feeding. At night, he'll sometimes go 2.5-3 hours in between feedings but not during the day.

I know they say 12 months at the earliest, but recommend waiting at least 18 months. What is your game plan? My oldest is 13, and I can't remember when I did for her, although I'm pretty sure it was later. Bonus points if you tell me if you have a certain blanket or game plan to reduce anxiety

My 9 month old won't drink his formula anymore. He will go hours without a bottle I try to get him to take one and he'll either fight me or drink a little bit and be done. The only time he will drink a bottle is when he's really tired or in the middle of the night. I'm starting to get worried. Are anyone else's babi...
