Baby Feeding

Finally at 32+4 I’m going to do the hospital bag as the dreams keep coming that I’m giving birth 😂 When does one sterilise the bottles before I pack them?

2 weeks old 🥰 Question: what teat size are people using! She is on test 1 but taking 30mins to feed, anyone know what might help?

I’ve been giving my baby formula the last few days as I need a break from breastfeeding. Finding it mentally and physically exhausting. Aptimal packaging says 4 week old should have approx 4oz (120ml) every three hours. She seems to be wanting a bottle at least every two hours, sometimes will take the whole feed, o...

Does anyone formula feed along side expressed breast milk? But baby not feeding directly from breast? I’m not breast feeding but would like him to have breast milk and not too sure how to go about it.

Does glass vs plastic bottles for baby really matter? I’m washing by hand with baby dish soap and boiling a pot of water with the bottles and nipples. You would think it’s safe to do that with the plastic bottles but what do you guys think?

Started introducing cows milk at 13 months but it gave him such a bad belly that he’s now back on formula, plan is to wait for another month and then slowly introduce it again. He has never been a great eater, has good days and bad days but he LOVES his milk.. I’m trying to reduce it but he will scream and scream fo...

My 10 month old was fine yesterday eating and drinking formula as normal then from his last bottle at 4pm yesterday he wouldn’t eat any tea or even have a bed time bottle, he refused naps all day so put it down to him being tired and just let him go to sleep at 6.30pm tried to feed around 9pm as he woke up he wouldn...

Hi! What kind of water are you using to make with formula?

My little boy was on nutramigen puramino but none of the pharmacies in our area can order it in so the GP changed it to Neocate LCP. He’s been on it a few days and I was making it like I used to with puramino, but I’ve just read the tin and it says to let the water cool for 30 minutes before adding the formula. Just...

I know some people swear by 4oz is enough no matter their age as our milk changes depending on needs and they will be happy as long as you pace feed but how much do you give and how often? My LO is 3 months and has 5.5oz every 3h in the day and sleeps through 10:30pm (I offer this as a kinda dream feed when I go to...

Ah! Is anyone else STRUGGLING with the Kendamil goat milk shortage?? Its the only formula my baby will drink and it’s out at every single target in my area :/

Anyone have any recommendations for good hungry baby formulas? Lo currently on kendamil x

Hi, Does anyone know where I can get a tin of sma Alfamino?😣 I ordered my sons repeat prescription on Friday and didn’t realise the doctors had sent it to a pharmacy that wasn’t open on Saturdays, I’m now stuck and don’t have enough to last us today😫 I’ve gone through 111 and nowhere seems to have it in stock😫

My son is now 1, and cows milk now as we slowly transition from formula. How long do you still give bottles of milk for? Also should we be using a different bottle and not a MAM bottle for cows milk? 🐄

My 3 month old son dropped from the 50th % to the 25th % in weight from months one to two, then at his 3 month weigh in he was still 25th %. Our pediatrician said this is fine since he’s not losing weight and maybe just is a leaner baby. (My husband and all his siblings were 25th % as babies) She asked how many o...

We suspect my son may have a cows milk allergy or may have a lactose intolerance causing reflux and other symptoms. Is there any harm in us switching to a goats milk formula to see if it’s gentler on his tummy and helps with some symptoms?
