How much should a 2 week old have per feed ? Pediatrician has said 100ml but she hardly has 80ml per feed, feeds every 3-4 hours approx. 90% formula fed & 10% breast milk

My son is still drinking from his bottle and we need to transition off! Any tips?

I keep racking my brain as to why my 16 week old is not drinking like he was. He was drinking 6oz of breast milk every feeding but now he’s 3oz sometimes then will chug 6oz like he’s starving. This started a couple days ago. He goes to my in-laws during the day while I work. He is drinking my frozen milk from late F...

For those of you with formula fed babies, how old are they and how frequently are you feeding them in the daytime please? I feed my 7 week old every 3 hours in the day currently, but wonder if I should space out feeds more

i want to introduce cows milk but not too sure on what to do, some people say they give their child 2 bottles of cows milk during the day and 1 formula, some say they completely kicked out formula.. so i’m a bit stuck? And when i do do the bottle of cows milk how many ounces am i doing? same as i would do formula o...

Im in the process of eliminating dairy since we suspect cmpa and on a hypoallergenic formula. I don’t produce enough milk so she has a bottle or two of formula a day. She’s 3 months. Should i avoid anything else? I haven’t ate eggs in days just in case she’s sensitive to that too. Also trying to limit spice. Dr does...

Anyone already going back to work how are we transitioning with EBF? LO will take a couple of ounces eventually out of a bottle but he's just not interested Really tempted to take myself out for a day and leave Baba with some bottles and his dad 😂 But working from ut we would need what 2 bottles max in a work…

I see alot of people raving about the nubby rapid cool are they really good for powder milk bottle feeding? Do you literally put boiling water in the flask and it cools it down to a nice temp? How long do they need to be left in Milton sterilising water to be able to use again? Surly if I put powder in milk bottle a...

Has anyone noticed that since kendamil opened another factory in Europe and made Bonya their own formula has gone downhill? It used to just melt with a little swirl and now I have to shake it or swirl it so much/hard I might aswell shake it otherwise there's lumps in it Absolutely gutted it was the only one what I f...

I've read a lot of posts about BF babies still feeding a lot, but I'm worried we are too far opposite- my 10mo LB is barely feeding from me. I feel like he's self weaning but I'm worried if he doesn't want to feed off me, should I give him formula so I know he's definitely still having milk? He loves his solids and ...

If formula feeding (still not decided 🤦🏻‍♀️) am I best taking the ready made stuff to hospital or powder? Formula isn't even on the NHS list to take so not really sure x

I’ve got a 8 month that’s on the move and I’ve found this the hardest stage so far

My baby is 14 weeks old and was born 8lb 3oz. Over a month ago he used to have 5oz but got told I was overfeeding by the doctor. He has since been on 4oz but feel like he isn’t getting enough.. I tried giving him 5oz yesterday but he seems to bring a lot of it up during winding or after. He is quite a chubby baby co...

Hiya all, we are due to travel to Turkey in a few days, what brand bottled water is best to use for her formula feeds? Tia x

My 9mo is still on 6 bottles during the day and then we're doing 3 meals a day on top of this. He's only just started getting into food really but he eats plenty and then still wants a milk feed shortly after. He's still doing about 35oz milk per day!! He's 9 months and was born 9th centile but has gone up to 25th c...

If I am putting in 210ml of water and it sits at the 240ml line after the formula has been put in. How much milk is my baby getting? (I write it down in an app and not sure which one to put it as)

Genuinely curious, mine does 5/6 feeds a day at 6 oz each which is what the formula container says but she wants more!

for those of you who are mixing formula with cows milk to transition eg 1oz milk 7oz formula how are you doing it? Are you doing say 1oz every bottle for the first day, 2oz the next day etc Or are you doing 1oz for a few days? First time mum so clueless I don’t want to just swap or swap one bottle as my baby ...

Hi my little one is 9 weeks old. Im using MAM bottles. I have just put her up to size 2 teat as she was getting frustrated with size 1, the teat was coming out flat and she was falling asleep. However it appears size 2 is too fast, she’s finishing the bottle very quick and seems like she can’t get a consistent s...

Can I take a whole container of formula on the plane? Or only a certain amount?
