Poorly from nursery

Since starting nursery 2 months ago my son (nearly one) has been poorly literally every other week! Sometimes even weekly. It’s driving me insane! Having to miss work, or leave work early and lose out on my wages but still have to pay the super expensive nursery fees 😬 it’s awful for him too! When he was starting I had so many people say their kids were always sick from nursery but my GOD I was not expecting this it’s absolutely relentless! My question is… at what age does this get better?! 😩

Any combi feeding mums?

I’m a first time mummy trying to combi feed. My initial plan was to formula feed but due to baby girl latching straight away when I came out of theatre I have decided to do both. Please can anyone give any advice they have about combi feeding? I am using hipp formula and this is rarely being given if I’m honest as I’m trying to express milk in between to use for bottles. I’m just finding night times very tiring breastfeeding so any help would be very much appreciated. Thankyou in advance!

Is anyone else struggling to buy Kendamil organic milk? My little ones nearly out of it and I can’t buy it from anywhere.

Formula fed babies

How often are your formula fed babies having a bottle and how much? Feel like with my daughter she was going longer stretches by now but we are still feeding every 2/3 hours

Cows milk

We’ve been off formula for a couple of days and my boys not taking to cows milk. Is it enough if he has it in weetabix/yoghurts things like that?
How are you giving their vitamins if not in milk?

Strange for me as my 2.5 year olds still having milk twice a day 😅

Combi feeding

So I'm breastfeeding my newborn but I'm also topping up with formula feeds throughout the day. My baby seems to get her feeds from the breast but then only 30min later wants another feed. Is there not enough milk? Wondering why the cluster feeding? She seems more satisfied after a formula feed. Any advice?

Milk intake

Hey all, my LO is 1 next week and I wondered when I should be dropping bottles? He still has 3 x 7oz bottles of formula in the day and wakes twice at night, but won’t go back down without a bottle, so has another 2 x 3oz bottles at night. Is this too much?

Where do I even start, and how do I wean to cows milk?

Sterilising bottles

Hi I just wanted some advice, my baby is now seven months and I have obviously been sterilising her bottle since she was born I’ve seen a lot of people say they stop once they start weaning. Do you think I will be okay to start putting my baby bottles in the dishwasher instead? She is constantly putting things in her mouth no matter how much I try to keep everything sterilised. It’s just impossible.🤣 we have also started weaning and I don’t sterilise the plates or spoons.
