She’s only taking around 23oz a day which HV said according to her weight she should be more like 30oz but as she seems fine, she’s just going to monitor her growth more closely for...

Feeding

My little one is 6 weeks old now, and I've noticed she’s taking a bit longer to finish her bottle lately! Depending on her mood, she drinks anywhere from 60 to 120 ml. She often nods off while feeding also. Any tips? Thank you!

Stopping formula

Hey all, my LO is almost 2 and a half and he is still drinking 4 ounces of formula 3-4 times a day alongside 3 meals and snacks. I want to stop the formula now. I don't think he needs it at all and I want to move on from bottles. Any suggestions how to do it???

Bottle prep on the go

Wondering how people make bottles on the go? Up until recently my baby has been exclusively breastfed but my supply has dipped so we are having to do a lot more formula recently. She categorically refuses to have room temp so ready to feed is not an option for us annoyingly I know nuby rapid cools are popular but ...
