Formula

How much formula is everyone giving? We’re on 2x 6oz morning and afternoon nap 7oz bedtime Then 4oz during the night sometimes 2 bottles! I dunno if this is average etc we’ve only been formula feeding around 6 weeks

Honest mistake and I'm freaking out!

I gave my 9 month old raw miso with cottage cheese. I often have it for taste but i didn't know babies are not allowed it! I've given her 2 oz of water because that's only how much she would take. She wouldn't take anymore! And I've given her about 3 oz of milk. I'm not sure how much miso I gave but it was a little ...

Powder dispenser pots

My little girl is on 7oz now and we have the 6 pack of tommee tippee powder pots that you tip straight into the bottle. The problem is now though because she's on 7oz, the powder is nearly spilling out the top of it and barely fits in. Has anyone else had this problem? Which other powder pots can I buy? Are there ...

Dr brown bottles

My little girls 9 weeks today she’ll take an ounce with the dr brown teat but takes her a good 10 minutes and then gives up how ever if I used a mam teat she’ll take it at like a champ. (Both teats are size 1) is it worth me paying and trying size 2 dr brown teats or just sticking with the mam?

Milk abroad

I've got a 15 month old who was BF but is now fully on cows milk. Do you buy milk when you go away on holiday or take formula instead? Xx

Feeding

Bottles

My son is turning 1 in September and I was wondering if I’ll need to get any different bottles for cows milk? I’m going to be transitioning my son of formula to cows milk come September and I was wondering if I should change his bottles? He’s currently using the Doctor Brown bottles.

Sterilising/cleaning breast pump

What's everyone's cleaning routine with their breathing pump equipment. New to this and not sure how often I should sterilise versus clean the equipment. Thanks in advance 😊🍼

How are you sterilising bottles abroad?

We’re going away next month but unsure how I’m going to sterilise bottles. I have a tommee tippee steam steriliser, do I take that or do I buy a Milton cold water bucket and do them like that? I’m all inclusive so won’t have a microwave in the room.

Is 4oz too much for one month old?

So my fiancé & I recently let our one month old stay with his grandma for a week. While over that week I was told I was “over feeding” our son because he was constantly throwing up his formula he was eating. She then proceeded to feed our son 2oz instead of the 4oz that we usually was giving him. Ever since we’ve ha...

Tommee tippee advanced colic

I have been using the free mam bottles for my baby and feel like they are masking him more windy. I am moving onto these, how are people finding them? Also can I steam sterilise them or do they have to be done in the microwave?

Anticolic? Mam free bottles!

I have about six of these bottles that we have got free over the time I was pregnant. Does anyone know if they are anticolic or they are different to the ones that you buy? My baby has a bit of trapped wind and I don’t think these are particularly helping. I am going to the the Tommee tippee advanced colic bottles.

Mam bottle measurements way off!

Bit of a rant to be honest! We worked out yesterday, after 2 months of feeding my daughter using mam bottles, that the measurements on them are incredibly inaccurate! The ounce measurements are almost 1oz out and the ml measurements are 20ml out! We’re so annoyed that because of the bottles we’ve been putting way to...
