When do we change milk bottles to those sippy cups for milk? Or do we continue using bottles until 1? My little boy won’t hold his bottle, but will happily sip away holding his water sippy cup!

Can anyone share their experiences on this formula? Did bubs take to it ok?

My son is 10months, 1week and I’m thinking to introduce little bits of cows milk here and there for him to drink throughout the day. (I already use cows milk in his omelettes and for his weetabix/porridge) He has formula and still has 3 bottles a day (as well as food) so I’m wondering shall I put some cows milk int...

Tomorrow I’m booked for my frozen embryo transfer. I’ve been using a hot water bottle on my tummy with the hope of increasing blood flow to uterus and my lining is thick enough. I was hoping to do the same after the transfer, with the hope of encouraging implantation. I know I’m meant to avoid hot showers, saunas et...

Help. I was an exclusive pumping and stopped at 10 1/2 months and have been using freezer stash ever since. But My baby boy is refusing formula. He is 1 year and 2 weeks so I’ve also tried to milk with cows whole milk. But he screams and turns his head away. And the thing is a few months ago I had to supplement as I...

Does anyone else’s baby cry constantly unless when fed?? My baby is 6 weeks and she constantly cry’s … after a feeding an hour or two go by and cries for more! Nothing soothes her . She also spits up so much even after burping her. She is constantly spitting up. I formula feed

My supply is little to none. I’m barely getting 8 oz during the day when I’m away from my daughter. She is eating 5 oz per bottle 3 times during the day then I BF when I get home and she seems satisfied but not off the bottle when we are giving 5 oz. I can’t keep up to give her what she is needing so we decided to s...

Hiya, i’m a FTM so pls don’t judge😭 My baby is 3 weeks old and on SMA Gold formula, how long after a feed can you use the rest? I make about 5oz each time as she usually drinks it all, however when she doesn’t we always stick the bottle in a warmer or a thermal bag and use it when she’s hungry again.. I’ve just…

So since I’ve had my period back my milk is slowly decreasing and I’m having to supplement with formula but now lb is refusing my milk. Am I best to just switch to formula and slowly stop expressing? Feeling upset about it as he is only 6 months and feel like a bit of a failure if I switch but I know fed is best. Ha...

How much formula are we giving little ones? I haven’t been combi feeding long and only gave one bottle of formula before bed however I do want to start introducing more maybe a bottle in the day as well but I’ve no idea how much they’re supposed to have? I have been following the amount on the tin but then read st...

We've just started to give LO one bottle of formula a day because my milk supply is low and I've been super stressed about him not having enough. He is very content after the formula bottle, but screams after breastfeeding every time. I want to keep breasfeeding but think he would be a happier baby on formula 🥹

Hi all, my little boy is 14 weeks old, something has really changed in him in the last 2 weeks. He is now always crying or whining his a nightmare, getting off to sleep at night. Nothing has changed in his bedtime routine. He has gone from taking 5/6oz milk to 3/4oz formula. He constantly wants to be held. Is this j...

Does anyone have a recipe for mole ? My husband is Mexican and he wants mole but I’ve never made it before and I want to make sure it’s good enough

Has anyone managed to successfully combi feed when they go back to work? I'm hoping to BF in the morning and evening and give formula whilst baby is at nursery. He takes a bottle and formula well, I'm just worried I won't have a good enough supply for just feeding at these times. Does anyone have any experience with...

Does anyone make their own milton spray. I usually just buy the actual Milton spray butttttt I've just bought some Milton sterilising fluid and was thinking of just using a capful of that and adding it in to a spray bottle with water?

Hi, we are about to go on a short trip soon and we need to sterilise baby’s bottles. I’m formula feeding for the record. We tested the Milton one this morning and I’m confused as the liquid smells strong - like bleach? So I was wondering… is it safe for the baby? Sorry if the question is silly… but I’m reluctant to ...

Hi ladies! Has anyone seen Kendamil on the shelves in any shops? Any heads up would be great! Thank you! 🌻🌻

Hi all🙂 my daughter was prescribed Aptamil pepti 1 a few weeks ago which made a huge difference straight away; her rash disappeared, she became much more settled which helped her sleep a lot better during the day. But this week all her symptoms of CMPA have returned! Is this normal or is the formula maybe no longer…

I am looking for an affordable baby formula for my 5-month-old. She drinks Kendamil, but it's always out of stock and I can't buy it online. I need to switch her to something else as soon as possible. We tried Bubs, but it's expensive for the amount you get. Do you have any suggestions? I'm located in the U.S :)

Any recommendations for a steam steriliser for pumps and bottles? Looking for convenience eg quick and good capacity
