Baby Feeding

Hi - hoping to get some opinions for bottle prep machines & sterilisers. I’ve been considering between the tommee tippee machine bundle or the babybrezza bundle. Has anyone used either and/or both? Or is there another option my algorithms aren’t showing me? I just want something that’s clean, quick, easy to use and ...

My son is six weeks and he is having 4/5 oz every hour and a half I was wondering if that’s to much I’m putting five in his bottle, but he’s more drinking 4 ounces

Hi all, does anyone have any formula recommendations? I have no idea how to decide so any advice would be appreciated ☺️

How many bottles of milk a day, are you giving your child now they’re 2 out of interest?

Hey, I have a ninja kettle which I descale regularly. You can boil it to certain temps such as 70,80,90 and 100. Is it safe to boil the kettle to 90 degrees and make a bottle up with this, rather than 100 degrees? I’ve read that anything above 70 degrees kills bacteria.

Just curious what teat size is everyone’s babies on atm? My LO is on medium but he stops in the middle of the feed sometimes or falls asleep. He used to finish his bottle. I’m thinking maybe to introduce him with fast flowing teat but not sure it it’s too early.

Anybody else’s 10.5 month old dropped milk? I know they’re supposed to, but I also know they should still be having around 21 ounces a day. My boy is just not interested in milk anymore, I try and try but he’s only having between 10-14 ounces a day. He just refuses! But will eat all his dinner. Anybody else’s little...

Getting nervous about my little one starting school in September and it being a big change for her, does anyone know if schools offer a gradual build up to 5 days per week?

My journey with my daughter was cut extremely short at 3 weeks because she wouldn’t gain weight and the midwives made me feel a failure! I really want to succeed this time! When can I start collecting colostrum? I’m 22 weeks so have plenty of time but want to be prepared! And help or advice is really appreciated, I’...

Has anyone got any advice regarding introducing a bottle? We have been trying for a week and so far he won’t accept the bottle. First few days he got really upset but how he’s happy to chomp on it for about 10 seconds. But he won’t suck, he also doesn’t have a dummy he only feeds from me. I had arranged a KIT day ...

Hi gals! Ftm mum here of a lovely baby girl who will be 12 weeks tomorrow. I've noticed over the last week or 2 her appetite fluctuates massively during the day. She's eating about an ounce less in her bottles and is taking longer to finish them. She also doesn't seem to be finishing her night feeds. I have star...

Congratulations to those who have already had their babies! My question is how much was/is your little one taking at 5 days old? Thanks

so I had my beautiful little boy on Tuesday, only 7lbs 5oz, and I feel like he is always hungry, he’s currently taking already about 80-90ml per feed and is sometimes still looking for more after he’s finished, this seems like a lot of milk for such a tiny baby who isn’t even a week old?

I don’t understand why bottles can’t just be sterilised in boiling water anymore? I’ve been using the Milton cold water but I don’t like the smell it leaves and the residue drops in the bottles. Is there a more natural way we can sterilise bottles?

Does anyone use these and have any feedback? Looking at the tommee tippee one which sounds great, but have also seen that the NHS doesn’t endorse UV sterilisers… What are you ladies doing for sterilising?

Stupid question but my mind is blank! How do you keep cool boiled water sterile? If we were to take it out with us? How long can you keep it for? For context my boy has bad constipation and we give him lactulose twice a day, but this needs to be given with cool boiled water. Of course we have the rapid cool but ...
