Baby is 2 1/2 weeks, but already on 5oz of milk. Noticing that when he feeds, he’s reluctant to burp and would rather aggressively search for the bottle again. He’s completely finishing every last little bit and then will scream afterwards as if he’s not content. I’m giving him breast to top-up, but not sure if this...

My LB is a chunk. He’s 4 months this week. He feeds entirely off boob apart from a bottle once a day. 3 oz isn’t cutting it, how much can he have ? He’s being paced fed

Hi Mama's How many formula feeds are you giving your baby in a day? I usually do 5 days a day 180ml formula milk & a Puree meal during the day. Has anyone dropped a feed from their normal feeding routine? Thanks x

Im using Milton sterilising tablets but confused as to how it works. Milton says you can use it straight out of the solution but what if I don’t want to? Do things instantly become not sterile once it’s out of the solution? How does this work? Also, if using dummies, how do you sterilise them? Do I need to put it...

Little one is 5 months and has started refusing bottles & it’s stressing me out!! Anyone else’s the same? Hoping it’s a phase!!

So my daughters been on sma amino, they've only given her 1 tin.... she has 4oz every 3 to 4 hours, so how long is this tin gonna last? Tried to work it out myself but my maths is awful, just want to know so I can call the doctors and get more milk

Any experiences with the Mamia formula from Aldi? £6.99 for a tin seems too good to be true🤣

My little girl is nearly 10 months and I was just wondering when I should start taking her off formula and putting her on normal milk? Im thinking of waiting till she’s one and then starting. However, how is everyone getting their little one off formula and onto cows milk. Thank you for reading xx

Formula fed babies - how much are they eating and how often? My son is 6 months next week and is drinking 5 - 7oz every 3 - 4 hours, with 1 feed overnight.

Are mums sterilising their little formula pots every time? I’m guessing we don’t have to because we use boiling water on the powder when we make the formula but not sure if I should be? It’s less the sterilising and more making sure they are bone dry before topping back up

We are still on many bottles a day of formula as my little one looks like is snacking food only and even if we gave him like pasta which he likes ..in 1h max he is screaming for milk..same for naps and bedtime..We tried cows milk but he is still having too much and cannot offer him 800 ml a cows milk a day as it ma...

Just wondering if anyone combi feeds (expressing and formula). I have been EBF but I have realised the mental toll this is taking on me and isn’t something I feel like I can continue. Plus, I would like the freedom of having my husband feed his daughter. I’m looking to move towards combi feeding but I have no idea ...

My little boy is 13 weeks. He is having 6 oz every 4 hours. He went through a short spell of sleeping 6 hours at night without waking for a bottle but we are back to 4 hours now and I can hear his little tummy rumbling. I’m thinking of upping to 7oz but looking online that seems a lot for his age! He has recently ...

how are you all making bottles for the night feeds?

Do anyone's baby hold their own bottle yet? My son shows no interest but throws himself around, and sometimes I wish I could just hand him the bottle😭😂

So we’re going on our first holiday abroad as a family in July and little one will be 11 months. We only have 2 x 20 kg luggage and I’ve heard most people do a collection order at boots in the airport for nappies and formula. However we use Aldi’d Mamia formula and I’m wondering if I should change him onto a diffe...

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?

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?
