My little boy is a very hungry boy and at the moment we always offer 5oz feeds. Today at 4 he finished 5oz in about 20 mins and now he’s had a 3oz feed 2hrs30 later. Usually we like to try and wait min 3 hrs but ideally 4 if he allows it. Of course if he’s hungry we feed him but trying to gauge if he’s actually hung...

Advice needed please My girl is 5 months and EBF. I reluctantly want to start combi feeding... Mainly so when I do KIT days in June it won't be such a shock to the system. And so I can find a formula that works for her before we start weaning. Any advice? Also what formula has worked for others transitioning from ...

EDIT: we use Suavinex bottles Hey mamas 😀 Do you have any recommendations for portable steriliser when travelling? (Ideally steam steriliser) I will be soon travelling with my LO who is 4 months and formula fed, therefore looking for advice because I don’t want to carry the big steam steriliser with me. Thanks in…

I am EBF for seven weeks and probably getting 3 to 5 hours of sleep every 24 hours. My body is exhausted. I have some pumped (haakaa) milk in the freezer, and I’m too tired to figure out how to use my spectra pump. I’m too tired to figure out how to combo feed with formula, too. I’m open to both. My husband is wi...

I used kendamil last time but know there's an issue with getting it sometimes. Considering others. What have you chosen and why?

Right this is going to sound insane to a lot of people but my girl is 19 weeks and is sleeping 12 hours 6pm-6am without a feed as she stated refusing her 11pm dream feed last week to the point of Getting upset about it so stopped and she’s just slept through ever since. At 6am, she wakes up happy (hungry yes but not...

Hello mamas ! I recently had to get my gallbladder removed & due to me being In the hospital for a few days . My supply did drop for a few days . I am supplementing. I just want to know if anyone has any rules when it comes to supplementing , like is there a certain schedule or the amount of times a day you give the...

I've started giving food to my little one. She eats quite well considering we have only just started, she usually eats 15-20 spoon fulls. Because of this I am skipping a feed when she eats, which in my case would be 150 ml of formula. I usually gave her 150 ml 7 times a day. I feel she's hungrier jn the evenings. T...

My 2 week old never finishes 3oz is it normal to never have empty bottles after a feed I’m a first time mum and learning so not quite sure

My LO has tongue tie at birth so went down the pumping and formula route as he was a big baby. He's now 10 weeks. I get confused about how much I should be feeding him with this mixed feeding and find myself wasting a lot of breast milk which can be quite frustrating. He seems to want to eat breast milk every 2 hour...

I had someone tell me she is starting this year, but I am really confused. When should I start looking at potential schools for her?

Hello :) anyone mind sharing what their daily schedule/routine seems to be currently with their January baby? And if formula fed- how much are they drinking and how often etc? Just trying to see if my LO is around the same? Thanks all :)

Okay how many bottles do I actually need to buy to survive the 0-3 month stage please? Ideally I do x1 wash per day - but I have no clue how many bottles I need roughly to make that happen - any help would be appreciated!

Hey mammas, my 4 month old has started drinking a lot less milk throughout the day. He used to drink 180ml every 3 hours and now he’s only drinking around 120ml sometimes less… is this normal? And could it lead to more night time feedings? (That’s actually my fear😅)

Does anyone else's baby not seem full unless they've had milk? She seems to be eating most of the food especially at breakfast, dinner is more hit and miss but she's still wanting a bottle an hour after breakfast and almost straight away after dinner. She has reduced the amount generally from around 8oz to 6, but I ...

Hey, my LO is 2 weeks old and showing signs that she’s still hungry after feeding but she’s already at the max recommended amount for a 4 week old according to the aptamil box…? Do I keep feeding her if she wants it? Or not go over the max amount on the box 🤔

Just looking at some responses on how much formula baby is getting - are mums going by when the baby is rooting or what the box says ? We’re already at the max suggestion on the aptamil box for her age but sometimes she wants more ? And I don’t know whether she should or not.. looking at some responses saying 4 oz ...

When reducing down to 3 bottles what time are you giving your bottles ?

Is it anygood?

My 11 week old baby (who was 4 weeks premature) is around 11lb which the health visitor says is on track considering prem but she only takes 4oz every 4/5 hours ish. She probably takes in about 600ml a day with encouragement. Do we think this is ok?
