Ladies, if baby wakes up crying for a feed at night, do you change his diaper and take him with you downstairs to make formula OR you change his diaper, leave him upstairs and go quickly make the formula and come back?

Just wanting to see if anyone else has experienced this. I've been chatting with my health visitor and raising concerns that my LO may have reflux, we've been to the GP and said he has slight reflux and colic but due to him gaining weight well they don't suggest starting him on anything. Yesterday my health visitor ...

I’ve just started my daughter on cows milk, she has roughly 17oz a day. I just wondered if I’m giving her enough milk. I do include dairy i.e cheese and yoghurt in her diet too.

Sorry if this sounds super dumb. Question for formula feeding mums. How do you know if your baby has an allergy to their formula. It seems like it’s quite a common thing but how do you tell the difference between allergy symptoms and typical newborn behaviour ie. Struggling with wind, grunting and bringing up milk? ...

Morning! I am trying to get organised and need to decide on formula - what brand formula do you recommend? I want to stick to the most organic and healthiest option (if that even is a thing) thank you!

Hi! My baby is over 4 months and is starting to fill out their pram. When did everyone transition from the bassinet to the pushchair?

We use MAM bottles and have reflux so my 9 week old has been using size 0 teats up until now. The last couple of days he has been falling asleep during feeds and not finishing the bottles so thought maybe time to change to size 1. Tried it tonight and he coughed and spluttered and half of it ended up splashing on ...

My little one is consistently wanting 36 ounces a day and everywhere is saying they shouldn’t get more than 32

My little girl still had the slow flow teat and tolerates it so didn't think to size up, is it a must? And do tommee tippee do 260/340ml bottles with fast flow teats or do they need to be bought separately?

I haven’t started transitioning from formula to cows milk yet. … and my boy still loves 4 bottles a day and doesn’t seem to want to give one up (he doesn’t drink water well from any of the cups were trying so I’m happy keeping bottles for his fluid) But does anyone just keep with formula for the fact it has all the...

From tomorrow I am dropping breast feeding & starting to formula feed. We need some form of routine but don’t know where to start! How old are your babies/ how much and often do they feed? How much do they take i know that every baby is different but I am curious.

When do you stop sterilising baby bottles?

I know I don’t have to yet but curious about transitioning to whole milk. My baby has been formula fed and he still drinks about 24-28oz a day. He’s been a picky eater and I’m trying to get him to eat more. Which he’s starting to. I feed him about 3 meals a day. I feel like he still gets a lot of his nutrients wi...

I used tommee tippee bottles with my last 2 but just wondered if the MAM bottles were “better”.. should probably start getting things organised 🫣😂

How much cow's milk are you feeding your baby in a day? My lo loves milk but I read we shouldn't give much in a day. Currently feeding thrice a day 5-6 oz each. Thanks.

Hi all, just wondering how much milk your LO drinks and how often? My baby is 4 week old tomorrow and drinks 3-4 ounce every 2-3 hours. Plenty of wet/dirty nappies just wondering if anyone’s baby is the same? 😊

My 1 year old has always been fine with formula but recently when we've tried to switch to full far cows milk he's been sick but about 6 hours later, could this be a allergy or intolerance. He has always been fine with his formula

Hey so I’m going to try combi feeding and would like to know which bottles are best to use , I’ll be using either kendamil or cow and gate formula ( if there’s a better one please comment )

I’ve been trying to pump once a day and have my partner feed our 5 month daughter. Been pumping in the evening whilst my partner feeds her and then she has the pumped milk the next evening. We were 3 days in and then my partner didn’t end up sticking to it on the weekend so this milk has been sitting in the fridge f...

My sister in law keeps trying to tell me it is and that’s she just takes it cus it’s there but she spits out the bottle when she doesn’t want no more and she’ll scream if she doesn’t get her 6. Please help, I’m a young parent.🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️😪
