Cows milk

How much cows milk are your little ones having? Before we switched he was 3x 8oz bottles plus 3 meals and always been a good eater. When we switched, he started to drink less maybe 3x 5oz bottles but recently started drinking more so we’re now doing like 5-6oz. Should I be giving him more if he’s draining them? He’s also waking early and I’m wondering if he’s not as full on cows milk 😩

Colicky baby

My baby is turning 3 weeks old tomorrow and recently he’s started crying ALOT after feeds and struggles to go to sleep. He’s combo feeding now after struggling the first week to get him to latch, he’s now primarily breastfed but occasionally he’ll need to get an oz or two of formula to get him full and happy. He has no rashes on his body that would indicate a milk allergy but honestly my first did not deal with colic so I have no idea how to navigate this and it’s affecting my mental health bc I feel so helpless on how to help him and him struggling is keeping me away from my toddler and I feel horrible that I can’t be as present as I want with her. I’m really lucky to have my village and they help with her but I just feel like I’m failing them both. Please drop your colic tips pleaseeeee!!

11 month old gone off formula

My 11 month old baby has completely gone off her formula and hardly takes a bottle now no matter what time of day or what mood she’s in. Should I be switching to cows milk early?

Options are kendamil, cow & gate or hipp. Which milk is best please 🥹

Steamer steriliser recommendations

Can anyone recommend a decent steriliser which also dries (but doesn’t cost the earth!). I had the momcozy one that steams and dries but it leaks from the bottom and apparently this is a common fault 🤦🏻‍♀️

Also want one that fits a decent number of bottles in it as well use Mam bottles so have lots of parts!

Thank you :)

Water bottles

What water bottles are you using now? Still using a Tum Tum but I feel she’s outgrowing it!

Formula

I’ve changed my baby from aptamil to kendamil. He was constantly screaming and seemed unsettled. I’ve tried colic drops and he’s on gaviscon. But I’m hoping maybe this is the right change now. Anyone else do this change? Any stories?
