My little one turned 1 on the 5th, I’m mid transition onto cows milk. She will only drink very very warm bottles since she was newborn. As we’re nearly on full cows milk I’m struggling to think of ways to warm up the bottle when I’m out & about. We use mam bottles so the hot water/jug trick wouldn’t work😩 Any…

Hi!! Just wondering how many bottles your babies are having a day? My boy has 3 meals a day, plus snacks…and also 4 bottles (part formula, part oat milk as I try to wean him off formula. He has cows milk allergy) When I’ve skipped a bottle or reduced it to 3 he does seem to miss it and it upset until his next one. ...

So the last few days my milk supply has basically disappeared...there will be some and I will get a let down but then shortly after there's literally not a drop. My boy has been latching more and more, I'm assuming because he's either not getting enough, or 'putting the order in' to try and stimulate my supply to in...

What boundaries are you setting in place once baby is born?

Hey mamas Anyone changed to Aptamil reflux milk for their reflux babies. What was your experience?

How did your LO cope with the transition to cows milk? My daughter was being offered 3 8oz bottles of formula a day, she would generally leave an ounce from her morning and evening bottle and 2oz from her midday one. Now she’s one this week we’ve made the straight swap to cows milk. This morning I offered 5oz in a...

The last two weeks my baby just doesn’t want to drink her bottles. She will have like 50 ml and the rest is a struggle (she’s on 7oz 5x a day). I’ve tried different temp, different teat and also tried to wait longer between bottles but no matter what I try she just doesn’t want to drink it. Starting to get worried a...

Hi, I’ve been exclusively bf my 4 month little boy and I am trying to introduce a bottle but not having any luck what so ever, does anyone have any tips that could help please? Thanks 🤞🏻😊🤞🏻

Will I need a steriliser if we plan on using Mam bottles and dummies? They can both be sterilised in the microwave without a physical steriliser. We are limited on counter space and just looking at our options.

How much milk a day are your babies having? My baby is having x4 bottles a day and 3 meals. Not sure how much milk they should have and there’s no guidance on this anywhere 🫣🫣🫣

I have a few questions on baby bottles…I breast feed but express enough for one bottle a day, which baby gets at night as part of the bedtime routine. We have 3-4 bottles in rotation, depending on if I’ve needed to pump more in the day or not, but generally there’s always one in the fridge. My questions are… 1) do...

Anyone use these? My daughter is one month + 5 days old has really bad reflux gulps too fast when feeding. Currently using Tomee Tipee anti colic bottles. For some reason they were great when she was newly newly born but now that she is over one month there is leakage when she feeds at the sides of mouth. Her colic...

The shoot only lasted a min until she decided to start playing with eggs 😭 It was so much more easier at 1-4 months

We're about to start the transition to cows milk next week, mixing formula and cows milk together (we tried to go straight milk and she won't entertain it lol)..while shes still having formula would you still be sterilising bottles etc?

Is anyone feeding a 7oz bottle yet? Our son is draining a 6oz bottle every 2.5 to 3 hours, he is on the 99th centile for height so he is a big baby. Any advice or experience would be great as our first was a terrible feedee so we are not used to this xx

I was just wondering if anyone is struggling with their doctors and their little one? My little one is on Pepti 1, has 6oz per feed (10 weeks old), and is drinking anywhere from 6-8 bottles a day. They prescribe us 400g tins x8 on a repeat prescription. The last time we collected was on the 4th of April, and I re...

Hi! I was wondering about bottle sizes - how many should I buy of the smaller size (150ml) and how many of the bigger size (260ml) Thanks!

Planning to go on holiday in May with my 7 month old, he’s formula fed, what do I do about formula and bringing boiled water and rapid cool to the airport etc? And also where do I put the ready made bottles? It’s stressing me out!

My little boy is exclusively breast fed and 10 weeks old , he was born 6lb 9 and now only 9lb 12 and still fitting in newborn , we also had health visitor and she said he has gone down a centile on the chart and may not be getting enough milk wich has made me go round in circles worrying, has anyone been in the same...

My little boy who is nearly 10 weeks takes 3oz every 2-3 hours. I worry it isn’t enough! I was at one point giving him 4oz but he was so uncomfortable afterwards. He was sometimes finishing the full 4oz but it wasn’t very often. He is gaining weight fine and wakes maybe twice during the night. He is now 11pound 1. H...
