How many times and how much a day is your little one having of milk now? TIA

How many bottles are you giving baby in the night? My little boy has been ill over the past few weeks with one thing after another. Over the past week he has lost his appetite and is only having 2/3 bottles in the day and is completely off solid foods. He is having his last bottle at around 11/12pm (not his normal...

Hi! How much cows milk (or alternate milk) is ok to give in a day at 12 months?

Has anyone’s little one been moved from Nutramigen LGG to Aptamil pepti 1 and seen an improvement of symptoms?

Our daughter has suspected CMPA and I am yet to receive a referral / appt to a dietician about the milk ladder and I probably won’t get seen until she is near 1 😩 Has anyone any useful resources they’ve used to help me please? X

Since birth my boy was taking up to 70ml and he's now backing 4 - 6oz each feed and he's only 10 days old 😂. Was born 7lb 1oz and is now 7lb 9oz. He has expressed breastmilk during the day and a formula feed at night or when out and about.

Please how many ml of breast milk or formula does your little one take per feed at 3 months I exclusively pump and feed per bottle

My baby is formula fed, and weighed 9lbs 5oz at birth (gas and air only 🫠😂) so has always been eating more than what is ‘average’, but I just wondered what other big babies are eating at this stage? He is 6 days old, and currently on 90ml every 4 hours, but I’m pretty sure he wants more? Any help would be…

Can someone please give me a ‘dummy’s guide to the rapid cool’ If I want to make a 7oz bottle doing the hotshot method?

What sort of timings are you all using for milk feeds and meal times? I seem to end up waiting quite some time after first bottle before giving breakfast as she'll have 8 or 9oz first thing! Not sure whether to reduce the bottle amount and bring breakfast earlier? What are you all doing?

Hi My lo is 1 month and 3 days old. I exclusively breast feed. I usually pump and store milk for the night and feed him directly during the day. Sometimes at night he directly feeds from me. His feeds span between 5-20 minutes long , shorter feeds are frequent and longer feeds (20-30 minutes) are about 2 hours ...

Hi I’ve started using Milton while I’m waiting for a new steriliser. On the Milton website it states that bottles etc don’t need to be washed off which I understand as then it won’t be sterile anymore. What Im questioning myself on is do we let the bottles air dry or make them up straight away once I’ve got them out...

Just bought some nanobebe bottles, can anyone suggest a steriliser that’s also drys and doesn’t need tablets. Would also need space for pump equipment too

Apparently I have been over feeding my baby boy who started vomiting after feeding. I took him to a doctor for the vomiting (he projectile vomited twice yesterday which was very scary 😰) and I was told I need to feed him with no more than 125 ml every 4 hours. This is much less than what he “demands” :) For…

Hi, I brought a rapid cool today, the rapid cool and the insulator. - I’ve tried to rapid cool twice and both times it has not worked, my son is on 7oz of milk, so I use the hot shot of 3oz of boiling water to add the powder to, while the remaining 4oz of boiled water into the rapid cool. -I’m so confused like I’m d...

What did people find harder? From friends I’ve gathered those that struggled going 0-1 found the transition from 1-2 easier. Whereas those that found 0-1 a less severe transition found going 1-2 kids harder. This is a small pool though so would love to hear peoples thoughts.

Anybody who is combi feeding breast and formula, what does your daily routine look like? When are you breast feeding and when are you doing formula? Baby is 10 days old :-)

I’m wondering how yall are sterilizing your bottles if you have a sterilizer machine or have another method Currently handwashing/ steaming but debating if I should get a sterilizer bc im not sure if I’m cleaning my bottles good enough 🙃🙃

How many oz are everyone’s 10.5mth having? How many bottles? For reference there is allergies to dairy. I mention this because seemingly they don’t need bottles at all if they are having dairy foods.

My nearly 15 month old is on stage 2 follow on milk as he wont take to cows milk and wont take a cup. Are/would you continue to sterilise bottles?
