We are all unwell? Wkndering if these are anygood?

My little one is 7 months old, she’s breast fed but occasionally has a bottle of formula. I’m just wondering when I can stop sterilising bottles, the steriliser i have is quite big I have a small kitchen with limited storage so I want rid of it🥲 thanks in advance!

Good morning 😊 My steriliser has broken 🙃. My 2nd one and my baby is nearly 7 months old😳😳 The first one I got was the Tommee tippee (plug in) an that broke after a month or so (got it from Facebook market place claiming to have only been used once or while) and the one I’ve recently had is the baby breeza…

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?

The last couple of nights my little girl has been really unsettled. Waking up crying and screaming which she usually does when she wants a bottle. However, she has been refusing her night feeds which isn’t like her😕 She’s been refusing her foods and milk. Yesterday she had 5.5oz of milk for the full day and 2oz of…

My little boy is almost 8 months and we’re still having to use the size 2 teats, I’ve tried the 3 but they are soooo fast!! He’s got really slow with the 2 but I don’t know what to do? Anyone else had the problem and found a solution?

For those who have taken their babies on holiday abroad… We’re going to Tenerife in December and my baby will be around 4.5 months so still be having a fair few bottles a day. I know we aren’t meant to drink the tap water ourselves due to their water not being as clean as ours in the UK so our bodies aren’t used t...

So, my son is 7 weeks and is about 1 pound lighter than he should be. The health visitor said he’s longer than he is wide… she’s not worried as he’s been having issues with milk. Now that he’s on prescription milk, we’re sure he will start to gain. However, some days he’s not really getting what he should be (720ml...

My bf baby has refused the bottle last night. She’s EBF but for the past month or so I’ve pumped and given her a bottle on the evening twice a week to get her used to it and she’s taken it fine. Last night we tried for an hour and she wouldn’t take it! Does anyone have any advice or have been through the same thing...

What kind of formula is everyone thinking of getting. I wanna get a container in case of emergency I just have no idea what to get

We’ve been using sma althera for our little boy for just over two weeks but his bottles absolutely reek and feel greasy no matter how much we clean them? We’re using mam bottles so wash and sterilise every individual part, but the bottle part itself always feels greasy and looks like it has remaining residue even af...

Does it make life easier having a purée maker? Or will I be fine just boiling and hand blending the food?

I know that a kettle prepared formula bottle lasts for 2 hours in room temp. Does the same apply when using Tomee tippee prep machine? Thanks!

Hello I have a total of 12 cans of formula that have not been used. Would love to give it to a mama or mamas in need 6 cans have an expiration date of July 2025 and the other 6 cans are October 2025. *First come first serve*

My 3.5month old has always been a great eater, loved the bottle and is formula fed. In the last week she suddenly has become very difficult during feeding. She grabs at the bottle, pushes it away, screams after a couple of mouthfuls, screams when she has pushed it away. We struggle to get her into a position where...

Is anyone else's 1 yr old on more than 2 bottles a day? My 12.5mo is on 2 bottles of cows milk a day, 7oz upon waking and 7oz at bedtime. I've found that he has become much more grizzly since I dropped his bottle feeds down to two and I'm worried that maybe he just needs more than the 2 bottles I'm giving him. Th...

With us quickly approaching a year I’m curious what everyone’s plan is for transitioning to milk and switching from bottle to straw cup. Are you starting early or waiting until after baby’s birthday?

How are you guys transitioning? My baby has a dairy allergy so he has been on soy formula since 7 weeks. Our Peds recommended soy milk for him instead of cows milk for now. Her recommendation was to cut formula cold turkey and go to soy milk 3x per day, leaving bottles of water in sippy cups around the house for him...

Little one is now 13 months and is still having 3 bottles of formula a day. Any tips on how to drop one of them? Also we have tried many different style of beakers with spouts and straws but just not taking to them and still using MAM bottles. Any recommendations for what to try? Iv found the ones with straws are r...

Just wondered if anyone is combination feeding with breast feeding and formula and what schedule do you have? I have a 5 week old just BF and with 2 bottles of expressed milk one in the afternoon and evening. My plan was to do combination feeding when I was pregnant but now I'm doing this just wondering is it worth...
