Hi all! I have an 8 week old baby girl. She’s as sweet as can be, but I’m ready for the lump phase to be over! We’ve only had a couple smiles so far that I think were purposeful but it’s hard to tell. She’s starting to pay attention to more things but she’s still not visually tracking much and I can barely get her t...

What am I doing wrong?😭 I just can’t find a comfy position to feed LB in - my back always hurts or my forearm is on fire holding his head up! LB is only 5 weeks so he’s only going to get bigger! Please someone advise! I really want to enjoy the feeding process😣

When giving formula to your baby how do it reduce or decrease your milk supply?

How are people sterilising the Dr Brown bottles?

My prep machine is pissing me tf off! Every now and then it decides to dispense the wrong amount of water after I've added powder to the hot shot. And I'm not talking like a little bit I'm talking like 2+ ounces extra. I'm only making a 4oz bottle but it's filling it up past to 6oz or more which is obviously not sa...

How often and how much does your baby drink? Mine will have from 3.5 ish- 4oz every 2 hours is this normal? I’m worried I’m over feeding maybe. On the odd occasion he will have 5oz then go a bit longer maybe 3-4 hours without a feed. But won’t take 5oz every feed

It kind of feels like a huge waste of money, but does anyone have any good recommendations for a portable bottle warmer? I don’t want my son to be dependent on his bottles always always being warm, but he just hates them so much when they’re cold and this is hard when we are out of the house.

My babies got moved into this to trial CMPA. It’s so watery, what size teats are you all using? Also how did your babies do on the new formula?

I use mam bottles and we are just starting to take 5/6oz, which means going to the bigger bottles. How many do you have? I have 13 because I want to wash them once at the end of the day.

How often does your baby feed? My little boy is every 1.5 hours to 2 hours, I feel like I don’t get a break🤯

Hi guys can you bulk make formula in bottles and store them in fridge for using throughout the day? So say make 4 bottles in the morning and then keep them in the fridge and use them throughout the day? I’m talking about the powder formula

Which app do people use to track newborns development and see how many weeks old they are?

My 9 month old son has always been fussy drinking formula since he was around 4 months old (was never breastfed). Over the past month he’s dropped from drinking on average 25-30oz of formula per day to 10-12oz. He’s eating some solids but doesn’t seem like it’s nearly enough to sustain him. He’s also not yet able to...

My little girl is formula fed and we are struggling at times. She usually only takes about 2oz at a time so we are feeding every couple of hours. Sometimes the feeds are a nightmare! She shows hunger cues but then when we feed she starts normal and then starts to tense/ arch her back and turn her head away. If you t...

My little one is a frequent feeder of small volumes, as in about 2oz every 1-3 hours, very hard to keep track of what she does actually have but rarely finishes 4oz. Currently side lying feeding as Ker health visitors advice which has helped, she's taking on a bit more than before and spitting up a lot less but can'...
