Teats

My baby is 4 weeks, she’s on 4 ounces and almost every single feed she will fall asleep after 2 ounces, or will stop for a bit then want the rest about 20 mins later. This morning we tried using the little bottles from when we were in hospital and she downed them no problem. I think the teat is faster flowing than t...

How much should I feed my baby?

Earlier on this week I decided to start combi feeding my LO. She is 3 months old and has been EBF until now.

Ive always had a good supply in the mornings (can pump off 120+m...

Refusing Milk

My little girl (4 months old, fully formula feed) is starting to refuse milk, she’ll go 6/7 hours in the day without a feed. She was starting to go through the night until she started refusing milk in the day and now is waking up 1-2 times at night for a feed. I assume making up for the feed she misses in the day. W...

Mam size 3 teats

I’ve bought the size 3 teats as my 5 month old has just been messing around with the teats or drinking some falling asleep or just not bothering. Has anyone sized up? Are they much faster? He has reflux so slightly worried!

Formula milk

My little boy is now 11 months old, and he really has little interest in his formula milk now, eats his three meals a day and drinks plenty of water. The bottle before bed he literally refuses it. Anyone elses little ones the same? And what is everyone doing about it?

Milk refusal

Has anyone’s 6 month old suddenly lost interest in their milk intake recently? I’m not sure whether it’s a developmental change, a preference to food since starting weaning or teething related but my little boy would easily drain 35-40oz during the day and I’m lucky if I can get him to have half of that these days. ...

Combi feeding

I need help and this may be silly questions but I’m new to this so sorry. I’ve been expressing for my baby since birth and he has been on only breastmilk. He has 120ml per feed and as I’ve learnt babies on breastmilk only don’t have too much more as breastmilk changes where with formula you need more as they grow. ...

Baby eating too much

My LB has always been bad about eating too much. He was eating 8 oz by three months every feeding, meaning every three hours basically. I took him to the doctor because he is NOT a chunky baby. He’s 30th percentile in weight, which I know a lot of people say percentiles don’t really matter, but for him to be eating ...
