Our baby is due in February and we dont have a steriliser yet. I like the sound of the Milton Cold Water steriliser as sounds so practical and easy. My husband is a bit worried as Milton smells a bit bleachy, but presuming it is not at all harmful to babies or they wouldnt sell it. Has anyone got experience with thi...

What bottle sterilisers is everyone going for? This is our first baby and we really arent sure, I like the sound of the Milton Cold Water steriliser as it sounds so practical and easy. But my husband is worried as Milton smells a bit bleachy? Has anyone got experience using this steriliser?

I’d really like my partner to give baby a bottle once a day but whenever we’ve tried he’s drank the whole 4oz and then screamed until I let him BF for a little bit longer. Should we give him more in the bottle? He’s 7 weeks old, we use slow flow teats and try to pace feed but he guzzles it

My little boy turns 1 on the 29th. He used to have 3 bottles of formula a day but in the last 2 weeks he is just outright refusing bottles unless it's his bedtime bottle. The HV came out to do his 12 month review last week and she said thats great news he's weaned himself off. But he won't even drink cows milk, I t...

Not sure if this would be okay but I HATE the aptamil tub!! I just wasted half a tub of formula cause the lid doesn’t click in right :/ don’t know if it was just a dodgy one but either way I don’t like that it’s cardboard!! We tried our LO on Kendamil but didn’t agree with him. I love that it’s tin though and makes...

LO is 12 weeks and the last week she has been funny with taking her tommee tippee bottles. She refuses it, then takes her dummy, you take dummy out and she suddenly takes bottle. She does this on every daytime bottle. So I’m going to trial a couple MAM bottles to see if it different as doesn’t seem right that she d...

has anyone been advised to mix cow and gate with pepti1 to check allergy I've done 1 bottle a day then past 2 days and my baby's been sick not wanting her food and so much move irritable

What age do you feel like a toddler should be able to play in makeup. Or do you think it’s inappropriate overall ?

My daughter has just turned 8 weeks old and we use mam bottles. She is still currently in size 0. When do I need to change her teats? She’s been struggling alot with wind and the HV is that if she’s dribbling lots of milk she’s not ready. This is still the cause she dribbles a lot of milk but not like before. She ta...

How old was your baby when they were holding their bottle. My little boy will happily hold his juice bottle and is capable of doing so, however I still feed him his milk bottles despite him being 10 months old. Does anyone else do this?

If I plan to use my electric pump multiple times per night should I be sterilising after each pump?

Can I give my baby weetabix with his own milk ?

Please can someone confirm if I’m the only one still sterilising milk bottles 😅 he has 2 bottles a day (cows milk) and I’m still in the habit of whacking them in the microwave (mam bottles) am I making my life difficult?!

Anyone know if there’s anywhere you can still get this? It’s the only thing that’s helped my friends LOs nappy rash and she can’t get it anywhere 😖

Hey this might be a long one can anyone tell me how they make a bottle while out and about without a nuby cool … or can I pre make the bottle and warm it when I’m out with something ? I’m a first time mum and due in 6 weeks and if breast feeding doesn’t work ide like to know more about formula / bottles and how lon...

Anyone else’s baby become really fussy with the bottle and acting like they’re never hungry? My 12 week old baby girl became really fussy with bottles when she was 6 weeks old. I’ve changed bottles and increased teat size which helped but she still only drinks about 16-20oz a day. She’s gaining weight but very slow...

Hi! My 10mo boy is having 4 210ml bottles during the day, 3 meals in between (he doesn’t eat much). Then he has another 180ml or 2 during the night. He’s teething at the moment with incisors coming out. I want to find a feeding routine that works out well for him as I read that I should give him less milk and more...

We used the baby bottles up until 20 months and then switched to straw bottles to help avoid issues with teeth later on. Since doing this, my little one refuses to drink milk out of it. Should I carry on using the bottle with the teats or keep trying with the open cup/straw bottles?

Hi moms! I’m working on transitioning my 15-month-old from his bedtime bottle, which he mainly uses for comfort. He drinks well from straw and open cups during the day, but the bedtime bottle is still part of his routine. I recently bought a bottle with a sippy spout as a step toward weaning him off the bottle. Has...

I’ve been topping up with expressed milk but the consistency is like water so I don’t feel the calories are really there and my baby is dropping centiles. Has anyone had this problem and topped up with formula instead or gave a feed of formula per day and saw the benefits? Thank you
