Does anyone's babies take small ozs often. My little girl is nearly 14 weeks and only takes small ozs?

How much does you LO drink and how often? Also what teat size if you are bottle feeding ?

Has anyone used Aldi baby formula? How was it? Currently using Aptamil but seen Aldi do formula and it is nearly half the price of Aptamil so curious to try.

Hi all, a bit of a silly question... how do you make up your bottles on the go. I understand you get a vacuum flask, a tub to keep your premeasured formula and your bottles. Do you make pour the boiled water from the kettle straight away into the flask or wait the 30 mins? How do I know the water is hot enough to ...

How long did it take for your little one to settle? And how old were they? My little boy is 2 years 3 months and he’s really struggling (and so am I) keep thinking about just giving up!

I breastfeed my baby who is nearly 7 months and due to slow weight gain she has a formula bottle at bedtime. This has been part of our routine from quite early on. She has a 7oz bottle at bedtime but seems hungry still and won’t settle for sleep, this has happened the last few nights so I also breastfeed before and ...

My almost 9 weeks old is not eating as well as he used to. I had increased his milk (breast milk) to 4 ounces and he used to finish his bottles. Now he stops at 3 ounces and starts spitting out milk or cry if you try to feed him more! I just don’t understand why he would eat less now that he is older!

so my LO is nearly 6 months, she might be sitting up unassisted by then but in case she doesn’t by that time am i not allowed to do BLW and only puree? sorry if it’s a stupid question

Is anybody else's formula fed baby just not really Interested in feeding? Just in the last week my little boy has gone from feeding every 3 hours 7oz bottles to being fussy and sometimes having 3oz sometimes finishing the bottle. We're due to start weaning at the weekend when the high chair turns up so not sure if ...

Struggling to wrap my head around bottle prep. The formula box says to boil 1 litre kettle and leave for 30 mins then make bottle. Surely we don't have to boil 1 litre for 1 bottle and wait that long? Night feeds will be a nightmare Health visitor said not to use a prep machine and can't pre-make bottles to heat ...

Curious to hear what everyone’s routines are with babies?

I will still be giving formula until 12 months but he is quite a fussy baby so my logic is it’s going to take him awhile to get used to drinking it

How many oz is your baby eating at five months? My baby still feeds on demand but only drinks 4 oz per feed. Sometimes he’ll want more but it’s usually 4 oz every few hours, Is this a normal amount?

How much are your formula fed babies taking at one time? My baby gets a fortified formula of 5oz every 3.5-4 hours. He will also take a regular 4oz bottle of formula, but I've tried 6oz, and he spits that up or struggles to finish it. So we give either 4oz made regular or 5oz fortified.

Hey everyone, my little boy has the man bottles & dummies but I’m just wondering if anyone’s baby has taken to a different dummy that is similar to the mam ones? Our local shop doesn’t sell many older sized mam ones and I’m sick of ordering online because they’re all ugly patterns 😂 Thanks

How much milk should my 11 week old be drinking!?

Hi all I’m not sure which sterilising method is best for a newborn. We dont have a microwave but can purchase one if thats the best way or we were looking at the Milton tablets or an electric steriliser. Which have you all found best ?

We put off transitioning my 15 month old from formula to milk as she had a bad tummy for ages after starting nursery and we were worried the milk was making it worse. We've just done our first full day of milk and no formula and she's been fine (which is a huge relief), but she's going through a sleep regression a...

Hello, Does anyone use Nutramigen Formula (prescription)? I have two tubs that are unopened and not needed.

My baby is 1 week old & is formula feeding. We were originally feeding 60ml every 3ish hours & then got told by the midwife he hadn’t gained weight & to up his food to 120ml if he’d take it so we did. He started to have mainly 90ml and the odd 110 & feeding on demand again advised by MW. We’ve then been seen by ...
