How much colostrum are you aiming to collect? I’ve nearly got 50ml. Feel like that’s plenty but did anyone ever need more than this?
Does anyone have a spare tin of SMA Alfamino? I miscalculated and although I can pick up our order tomorrow morning I'm about 2 bottles short and nowhere in Coventry has any stock. Feel absolutely awful. Would be insanely grateful if anyone can help 😩
Hi my son is 17 months old now I’ve been thinking of taking away his bed time milk for a while now as he’s not finishing it anymore so I’m guessing he doesn’t want it or need it He doesn’t have a milk in the morning anymore so it’s just in the night before bed Any tips on what I should do to help him come off it ...

Hi all, looking for some help! I’m looking to get the silver cross reef 2 bundle with either the silver cross dream isize or maxi-cosy/cybex. My question is - is 360 base essential before 4/5months or just a luxury? Thanks in advance x
I’m just curious to know how much milk people are giving? My baby has 3 bottles still at around 7oz per bottle as he absolutely loves his milk and enjoys it more than water so it’s a good way of getting fluids in him, but worried that may be too much and affecting his appetite a little?
Currently pregnant with baby no2. Who’s due in July, when my little one will be 20 months old. Anyone have any advice/tips on how to make life easier for then? Anything I really need? Is a double pushchair needed or will my oldest be fine to walk all the time - he currently walks a lot, I just worry about days ou...
I don't know what the deal is with this kid but as he's aging he is less and less interested in bottles. He now is frequently drinking cold formula milk from sippy cups. He's only 8 months old and he can't wean from formula yet! And when he does drink the formula he doesn't drink much anymore. Like I give milk befor...
Has anyone else seen on the news the testing that was done on 41 different baby formulas? It was said that 20 of them tested for low to potentially harmful levels of either lead, arsenic, or both. My baby has been on nutramigen which was a part of the list with higher levels of those contaminants and when we saw the...
Hey guys! Anyone have luck with a formula for a lactose sensitive LO? Wanting to supplement with formula in addition to breast milk and wondering if anyone had success with a formula for a sensitive tummy and lactose intolerance.
How many bottles have we got ready guys?! Not sure how many I should have 😂
Hi everyone, not sure what I’m after… we’re currently triple feeding due to baby not gaining back his birth weight. So we’re breast feeding, topping up formula and then expressing… I’m super worried about the impact on my supply and just keeping increasing formula until my breast milk has no chance of ever catching ...
My LO is having 4oz every 2-3 h at 8 w and I’m thinking when to change the bottle teats, I have the slow ones but I was thinking to change to medium flow, or maybe is too soon? She is always falling asleep and sometimes doesn’t finish her bottles
Is it normal that my baby has gone from drinking 900ml a day to 500-600ml since I began weaning her? She only has some banana porridge in the morning & then fruit purées around lunchtime, finishes them both & drinks 500-600ml of formula throughout the day, l've tried giving her more but she doesn't want to drink it....
Hi, my little girl is suspected to have CMPA due to a lack of weight gain over the last 3 months and a flare up of eczema. I’ve heard that Nutramigen is quite bitter in taste. She’s 7 months next week so she’s used to her formula. She also hasn’t started weaning as she keeps pushing out food. Any suggestions please ...
My little one is 3 weeks 3 days old and he is just so hungry, he is taking 6oz every 3 hours but I’ve just had to give him a 7oz bottle because we’ve been up since 3 with him crying and rooting for a bottle. I just don’t know what to do
My baby is 6 weeks old on Monday.. she’s currently having 120ml formula for each feed but completely clearing it off and still rooting for more food after, crying and just not settling at all… can I up this to 150ml or even more for each feed? (we are doing around 8 feeds a day) I’m just worried about overfeeding fo...
Baby is just over 5 months old and is suddenly the last few days just not as interested in his milk (bottle fed), and is taking much less. He’d usually take around 200ml 5/6 times a day now it’s like 100-150. So I know he’s still getting enough but he’s usual mad for milk! He is well, having wet and dirty nappies, a...
How much formula are you giving your 1 year olds? Mine just turned 1 and has significantly dropped her milk intake. She used to have 3 bottles (150-200mls each) a day and now won’t even get through 1 bottle a day!
