Hi mamas! Any experience with washing bottles at the airport or plane while traveling? I’m taking as many bottles as I can but worried we might need more! I don’t steralise anymore so it’s just the washing part.

Hi, My LG is currently 10 weeks old on 5-7oz of milk each time. How am I meant to know when to up a teat size? Or if I'm using the right one. We currently have a mix of size 0 and 1 teats and I know she needs new ones but do I get all size 1? Or just get all new size 2 and make that switch instead?

Is anyone else's 15 month old still drinking a bottle at morning and night of milk. I think he uses a bottle for comfort

Hi please can I get recommendations for a good steriliser. I don’t have a dish washer

Has anyone ever tried these?

Does anybody use Milton sterilising tablets or Milton liquid ? When I use it my daughter’s teat always turns white😩 ! Is this normal ???

Hello Mums, what do you do/ use when making formula outside when going out?

Currently using mam bottles and my baby is flat out refusing feeds (only having 60/70ml before becoming hysterical). She’s normally polishes off 200-240ml per feed so I’m starting to get a bit worried. She’s showing all of the classic teething signs and we can see 2 white slits on her bottom gums 🥲Are there any…

Due to a recent severe health scare, we are considering switching to formula. So far, my 5 month old is EBF. We've tried to offer her a bottle a couple of times now, and she just flat out refuses. How do we make this transition without starving her until she finally gives in?

I’m due to go away for the night with our 4 month old. What is the best way to make her bottles up? Our hotel room doesn’t have a fridge so can’t use the big cartons of premade. I also have the nuby cooler? Any recommendations would be appreciated.

I feel like my son is drinking too much milk. He’ll be 2 near the end of April. I don’t know if I should just wait to really limit his milk intake. Lately, it’s almost all he wants (at least on weekends and evenings with us at home since he’s on a meal schedule at school, in which he eats for the most part). My so...

Hiya all!!! My baby is EBF. Once a day a few times a week he does take an expressed bottle. However I’m wanting to introduce a formula bottle before bed. I did this with my first and it was a nice introduction for when I go back to work for when I have twilight meetings/open evening or parent evenings. I’ve bought...

Do any of you lovely mamas have any tips or tricks for getting your little one to take calpol? My 4 month old has 2 teeth so he is feeling a bit grumpy but I can’t get him to take calpol for love nor money. I’ve tried the Frida baby dummy thing, smaller syringes and a spoon with no luck. It just comes straight out. ...

Has anyone managed to find a formula that doesn’t have rapeseed or sunflower oil in it? It seems to be in every one I look at. No idea why they have started putting it in formula ?!

Has anybody found any teats similar to MAM that their baby will take to? He is struggling with teat flow on size 2 being too slow, but when we move up to 3 even with pacefeeding it comes out way too fast for him. He's definitely used to the shape of MAM so any teat with a "2.5" style MAM teat/flow would be a god send

my whole life every single mother around me made all the bottles up for the day, stored them in the fridge and just took it out when baby needed a feed within the hour. so naturally that’s what i did. at first i was skeptical because we had 5 different midwives/HVs tell us all completely different things…about feedi...

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 ...
