Seeking advice

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...

What's an (affordable) healthy formula with (clean) ingredients I can buy online?

I'm spending so much money jumping around formula to formula to see which one my 5m would like since theres a shortage on kendamil and dont want to rely on kendamil anymore. I need one that's affordable and not a can thats half full like bubbs.

Stressing on how to feed baby

I’ve heard so many different opinions/ I feel a prep machine will be easier but I’m worried it’s not the correct temp and about it getting mouldy? I would use the traditional kettle method but the waiting for it to cool down at 2am gives me anxiety when baby is screaming hungry 😅

Combi feeding

My baby is now 6 months old and I exclusively breastfeed her and have done from birth. I’m thinking about introducing formula, to make it easier for when family or my partner looks after her.
