Baby Feeding

We go to Turkey in August and our little boy will be 3 months then, is there any must take items that people would recommend? I keep waking up in the middle of the night thinking about it and how I would sterilise and make his bottles 🙈🙈 first time mom so this is all an absolute mind field. Thank you 🩵

Now our LOs are older than 6 months are you still sterilising bottles?

Baby is mostly exclusively fed expressed breast milk with the odd breastfeed, no formula. She's 3.5 weeks and has either 3 or 4oz per feed, depending on if she's going through a growth spurt. Do you increase amounts of breast milk in the same way as you would with formula? I read somewhere about not giving more tha...

So we want our son to start nursery on 1st September 2025, when he will be 1 but will turn 2 on the 11th September. Does anyone know if it's correct that he will be eligible for 30 hours funding from the beginning of September when he starts? As I understand it, from Sept 2025 children over 9 months will be able to...

We use a TumTum for my daughter’s water and she currently has milk via a bottle. Number one… how do you clean your TumTums?! Number two… do you give milk in your TumTum? Are they safe to microwave? How long would you let the milk be out at room temperature? Do you use a new TumTum for each milk feed?

My little boy is 10 and a half months, and has recently dropped to 2 bottles a day. He has 7oz in the morning before breakfast & I offer another 7oz before bed and he may only drink 4/5oz of this. He has breakfast dinner tea & a snack in the day. I’m just thinking this is not enough milk for him😫. Anyone else’s…

Hi mums! I’m switching baby from EBF to formula but noticed a lot have strange ingredients like vegetable oils, coconut oil, etc… does anyone know if that’s ok? Sounds unhealthy - could you recommend healthier brand options if you’ve researched and tried any? Also the aptamil powder container says use within 4 wee...

Does anyone in the Myrtle beach area have any extra formula I’m almost out and isn’t able to go to the store?

How is everyone sterilising? And are you doing it after every pump? I’m going crazy with the amount of washing and sterilising of the pump parts at the moment!!

I’m almost out of formula is anyone able to bring any extra can to me?

How many bottles are day are your LO having??

Is anyone else’s 3 year old going through a stage where they WILL NOT get ready no matter what you try. If I get her dressed she will start taking it back off and trying to get out of the house takes forever!

How many ounces in 24 hours is your 7 month old having? Back of my aptamil tub says he should be having 21 ounces a day at 7 months. My boy is still having around 30 ounces a day (5x6oz bottles). Wondering if I should up his solids so he doesn’t need so much milk x

Does anyone have any recommendations for both baby bottles that mimic the breast, and also a bottle steriliser? I would like to start introducing an odd pumped milk bottle from 6 weeks so that my baby also learns how to take a bottle, and was planning on buying glass bottles rather than plastic so that they’re non-t...

Which baby formula do you use? And why?

When I prepare my little girls bottle, I add six scoops of powder and the 180 ml of water including the hotshot. This then shows as 210 ml on the bottle. I know this is because of water displacing, however when she doesn’t finish the bottle am I minusing the amount left from 180 or 210 to record how much she has dru...
