Mam bottles oz or ml

Just recently started using mam bottles inuse to use tommee tippee closer to nature. Iv noticed the man bottles have the oz and then above each oz is the ml. My little girl has 7oz which is 210ml so iv put the water to 210 as 7oz on the bottle is lower. Am I doing this right ?

If she has 7oz id do it to 7oz. 7oz isn't 210ml which is why they aren't at the same point on the bottle is 207ml

@Rebecca it's just that 7oz on the tommee tippee is 210ml

I do scoops and ML when making a bottle, we use MAM too. 1 scoop = 30 ML. That's what our formula says, so she has 6 scoops and 180 ML x

7oz is 210ml so you’re doing it right xx

@Jade thank you I was getting so confused I looked at it and thought why is 7oz there and 210ml above it lol so just filled up to the 210ml xx

Can I also ask can I heat the bottle in jug of hot water as I don't have a microwave

Avatar

Yes, a jug of hot water is the best way. A microwave isn't recommended

yes but depends which Mam bottles you have, if anti colic then they have holes in the bottom so you’ll need to put bottle in a plastic food bag or take the lid off xx

@Sally yeah they are anti colic so should I take the lid and teat off when putting in jug of water ?

Avatar

yeah or water will get in! I just pop mine in a sandwich bag which I find easier but works just the same if you take the lid off xx

Avatar

And by that I mean unscrew the top leave the lid on covering the teat so you’re not touching the teat if that makes sense xx

Avatar

@Sally makes total sense thank you so much xx

Avatar

I have never taken the lid off and it’s always been absolutely fine xx

I use the anti colic ones and put them straight in water and only take the cap off not the whole lid and never had an issue

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too
