Hi ladies! How can I dispose the sharp box given with Clexane injections? I checked with local council and they don’t have an information. I live in Wales.

Has anyone made this transition yet? Or when are people planning to? And which one?

My little girl has absolutely zero interest in her milk! She is such a good eater and has a really good balanced diet, but I cannot for the life of me get her to drink her formula! How many bottles a day is everyone’s June 2024 babies drinking? I’m lucky if I get 10oz all day into my little girl, about 3oz on a mor...

Hey everyone! Has anyone else noticed their bub drinking less milk? My little one is 7 months, almost 8 (AUG 11), and recently he hasn’t been drinking as much as he used to. We’ve only introduced one solid meal a day so far, but sometimes he’ll only take 50-60ml instead of his usual 180-200ml. He’s still having a n...

Hey! I was wondering if anyone uses a bottle warmer when they are out rather than the nuby rapid cool? Or has anyone tried both? Which did you prefer?

I’m using the MAM bottles for my little girl. She’s 9 weeks old. Should I be moving up to a size 2 teat? She’s currently using number 1, but I feel she is falling asleep on the bottle quite fast. There is times where she will still have milk coming out of the side of her mouth. Is that an indication that I should be...

Looking forward to this arriving tomorrow so I can out smart her 🤪😆 Hopefully 🤨😅

My boy will be 15mo next week and is still drinking formula. He’s waking 2x in the night for bottles and has 2/3 throughout the day of about 6oz. He does eat food but not amazingly and I think it’s because he’s filling up on formula. We’ve tried cows milk several times since January but he suffers with chronic con...

Hi mamas, my little boy barely drinks his 11am and 3pm bottles so I want to try him on a 3 bottle schedule instead of 4. What time do you give the middle bottle?

LO feeds every two hours is four months and has 3oz is this normal? How can I get her to have more and go longer? Formula feed in the day breast through the night

My 9.5mo old has 6-7 4oz bottles of formula per day (including nights) and 2 solid meals a day (lunch at daycare and dinner at home). Am I supposed to be feeding her breakfast too…?

How often should I be sterilising my baby’s bottles and pumping parts? I normally breastfeed and pump twice a day, give a bottle 1-2 times a day. I wash the bottles immediately but what about sterilisation?

I've started giving food to my little one. She eats quite well considering we have only just started, she usually eats 15-20 spoon fulls. Because of this I am skipping a feed when she eats, which in my case would be 150 ml of formula. I usually gave her 150 ml 7 times a day. I feel she's hungrier jn the evenings. T...

I am EBF for seven weeks and probably getting 3 to 5 hours of sleep every 24 hours. My body is exhausted. I have some pumped (haakaa) milk in the freezer, and I’m too tired to figure out how to use my spectra pump. I’m too tired to figure out how to combo feed with formula, too. I’m open to both. My husband is wi...

So my baby is almost 4 weeks and I was told to ensure they are fed 8 feeds within a 24 hour period and no longer than 3 hours between feeds. On the back of the formula tub it mentions feeds of 5-7 within a 24 hour period which would mean longer stints between feeds. Any ideas? I’m so confused.

Right this is going to sound insane to a lot of people but my girl is 19 weeks and is sleeping 12 hours 6pm-6am without a feed as she stated refusing her 11pm dream feed last week to the point of Getting upset about it so stopped and she’s just slept through ever since. At 6am, she wakes up happy (hungry yes but not...

My little boy is a very hungry boy and at the moment we always offer 5oz feeds. Today at 4 he finished 5oz in about 20 mins and now he’s had a 3oz feed 2hrs30 later. Usually we like to try and wait min 3 hrs but ideally 4 if he allows it. Of course if he’s hungry we feed him but trying to gauge if he’s actually hung...

Advice needed please My girl is 5 months and EBF. I reluctantly want to start combi feeding... Mainly so when I do KIT days in June it won't be such a shock to the system. And so I can find a formula that works for her before we start weaning. Any advice? Also what formula has worked for others transitioning from ...
