Anyone’s baby drop formula before 12 months?

My boy is really stressing me out, he’s just less and less interested with his bottles every day. He’s only taking about 10-12 oz in 24 hours now weaning. I think he’s just bored of it? Has anyone experienced this?

Time to cut down on formula milk?

My baby currently drinks 8 Oz of formula milk 3 times a day, she also eats 3 meals a day and loves her food very much. I've been reading the NHS guidance and it says 10 month old babies only need 400ml of formula, Is it time to start slowly cutting down her bottles?

Is it too much milk?

Bubba is 6 weeks. He was having almost 4 ounces of expressed breast milk every 4 hours. He’s now crying for milk every 2 hours and finishing 5 ounce bottles and is very fussy. Surely it’s too much milk for such a tiny bubba. How are your little ones feeding?

Bottles

Has anyone stopped sterilising bottles yet? I’m just trying to understand the logic of still needing to sterilise bottles but not sterilising plates bowls etc as well as everything else that goes in my little girls mouth!

How old is my baby?

I’ve had a few friends and we all seem to age our babies differently. Do you use 4 weeks = 1 month or would you say if your baby is born on January 1st, on March 1st they would be 2 months? My husband and I are using different methods so I’m wondering what others do. Thanks!!

Hi all, just wondering how much your 6 weeks old are on for formula? My little girl is on 120ml but noticing she is finishing quickly and sometimes wanting milk around 2 hour mark so wondering to up to 150ml?

Giving water

Has anybody offered water in a beaker yet? I read that the water doesn’t have to be boiled and cooled, does that mean that the beaker doesn’t need to be sterilised either?
