Baby is 14 weeks old and is crying after every 6oz bottle and seems to be hungry bang on 3 hours, sometimes a bit before. Would you increase to 7oz? He’s draining every bottle. Currently weighs 12lb 9

Please tell me there is a easier way to prep bottles on a morning , this is giving me anxiety. I have to boil the kettle every morning and wait 30 mins before I can prep bottles for the day and then they only last so long out the fridge so can’t plan a day out without worrying if I have enough milk ! Surely ther...

Hi all, if my little one has a dummy in his pram and spits it out etc, is it ok to put back into a travel case and then give it back to him when he wants it when we're out (on the same day), or does it need to be re-sterilised each time? Similarly, if a bottle has been sterilised, can you use it e.g. a week after ...

Hey! I'm planning to breastfeed, but as we all know, it doesn't always go to plan, unfortunately! So I was wondering what formula people are going to be using? I used SMA with my first and second, but want to try different this time. I was thinking Aptamil but I'm not sure.

Hi, sorry feel like I am asking so many questions on here! Has anyone ever used a Nubi UV steriliser? What do you think?

My son is 2 months and his pediatrician recommended 2-3 ounces per feed. I've been feeding him 4 ounces.

In the first year what age did you find the easiest?

Bonus points if the bottle is suitable for putting boiling water in straight away

Just looking for opinions. The dosage goes up at 2yrs old from 5ml to 7.5ml. My little one is really tall and wearing age 2-3 already. It takes up to an hour for Calpol to kick in at the moment. Does the dosage change go on size or physical development? To be clear, I haven’t given 7.5ml, just asking!

Trying to figure out cutting down feeds/ how many ml per bottle etc. and just wondering, do you count night feeds when working out daily milk intake? 🤔

What age do you transition from the lie flat part of the pram to the sitting up part? Or how do you know when it’s time to?

Has anyone given their baby small drinks of cows milk yet? Just preparing for ending our formula journey in May and thinking should I let him try little bits before hand? He already has it on cereal, in cooking ect.

What size tears are your 6 month olds on? I still have mine on size 2 but considering sizing up and he’s not finishing his bottles now. Seems to get bored

Sometimes she’ll wolf 150ml and other times is completely done with the bottle after 50ml, any advice!? She’s on an amino acid formula

I've recently moved from EBF to formula and have absolutely no idea on the amount of formula I should be giving in a 24 hour period. Do your formula fed babies still take a bottle in the night? Mine seems hungry because he was used to breast feeding during the night. I just don't want to overfeed.

Has anyone moved up a teat size yet? My LO is falling asleep during feeds more but he has colic, so worried to change from the slower flow and he guzzles it too quickly

Hey mummas, my LO is down to 2 bottles a day - morning when he wakes up and before bed. Is it bad that he’s still using bottles? He’s still not quite ready for a cup but he drinks water during the day from a sippy cup beaker thing but the straw limits the flow so he doesn’t choke. That’s the issue we have with a nor...

Hey mommy's, Hope you are all doing well. My bub is almost 6 months now and soon I need to get back to work, hence looking to introduce formula, but my bub doesn't take it I have been trying for a week now he refuses formula and wants to be breastfed. I really can't breastfeed anymore since I have fe health issues f...

My gp is keep making me switch formula and I'm just wondering how much is too much i don't want to damage my 3 month old baby by switching too much, can i really trust the gp? Any thoughts or advice?

My son is four week on Friday and I feel he might be having to many bottles as he is having 4oz of formula every one and a half to two hours, anyone else’s baby like this or is my baby just a fatty and like his food lol
