Can your ...
I converted glass jars to a ceramic look Is this a good idea to sell ? Let me know what y’all think ?
I have started using the nuby rapid cool today but am finding that the feed is still a little too hot. I have been using 1 oz of hot water as a hot shot and putting the 3 oz of boiling water into the rapid cool (my daughter has 4oz feeds). How much water does everyone use for their hot shot? I know it’s not the rapi...

I’m starting to pump/bottle feed baby more and the constant cleaning of pump parts and bottles is killing me lol looking to buy a bottle warmer and sterilizer if anyone has any recommendations? 🫶🏻
Hi, how soon before baby arrives should I wash and sterilise his bottles/dummies and breast pump? How long are they sterile, is it just 24 hours even without use? I'm 37+3 and should probably know this by now 🙈

Hey, my little boy has now been prescribed neocate , how do you prep and make the bottles as we’ve been on nutramigen for 7 weeks and made it room temp? can i use the hot shot method or what are the best ways as my baby likes a warm bottle?
So my baby is a bigger baby he weighed 9.13 at birth & is 4 months now about 15lb. I’ve slowly got him up to 8oz only increasing the oz when I noticed he wasn’t being satisfied. With that I thought he would go longer in between feeds? But it’s like when exactly 4 hours have gone bye he’s crying to eat again. Am I fe...

Hello everyone, I have two containers of kindamil formula that are open but barely used. Does anyone want them?? I’m in Dunwoody and I can come meet you if need be.
I primarily breastfeed, but have a small freezer stash. If I skip a breastfeed session and give a bottle to my 5 week old, how many ounces would you say is standard at this age? I typically take his cues and will feed on demand if needed… but I don’t really have a concept of how much he’s usually eating.
