Bottle fussing

For about a week my 11 week old has been pulling the bottle in and out of her mouth when feeding. I thought she must need to go up a teat size so went from a 1 to a 2 (MAM) but it's not made any difference. Has anyone else had this?

Tommee Tippee bottle teats

They came with size 1 teats as standard, but she was drinking 1-2oz then falling asleep from exhaustion and had poor weight gain after losing 8% of her birth weight so the midwives were concerned, and she's only just gotten back to her b...

Overfeeding?

My 2 month old is currently on 5oz every 4 hours but as of today is taking 5oz every 3 hours, can I up it to 6oz and see how she goes or would that be feeding her too much as she still so little!

Nuby rapid cool

This might seem like a really stupid question, I’ve bought the nuby rapid cool flasks but I’m wondering how you can make numerous bottles from them as once you’ve done 1 bottle, the cool flask will need washing….for when I’m out and about. How does everyone else do this whilst on the go? As it seems pointless if I c...
