Baby is on 4oz already at 2 weeks old. My health visitor advised to put her bottle up to 4oz but she is still draining the bottle every 3 hours. How much are all you mamas who are formula feeding feeding your babies giving them at 2 weeks please!xx

Hey, so my boyfriend and i take our wee girl to Torremolinos in May and by then she will be about 6 months old. Has anyone got tips for taking a wee one away that age? My wee girl is also formula fed and we use MAM bottles for her. How has everyone went about making bottles up when abroad? We have a rapid cool & f...

What size teat is everyone using? My girl is on size 1 on a MAM bottle but seems to be getting tired after 3oz, would it be worth sizing up? It’s been nearly 7 years since I’ve done this so I feel like a FTM again! Any advice would be appreciated 😊

Hi mamas, im EBF at the moment and would like to pump for a bottle once a day. How much do you guys think my 7 month old going to 8 months should have in 1 bottle? Is there a rule based on their weight or should I just go with trial and error and see how much she wants?

Hello, my baby is now one and I am weaning him off formula/bottles. He drinks cow’s milk from his sippy cup in the daytime but at night refuses this and won’t sleep unless I give him formula in a bottle. Any tips please?

My boy is now exclusively formula fed and will be 6 weeks on Monday. He is still feeding around 8 times a day (sometimes more) how much formula should he be having per feed as the guidance on the box is for 5 feeds a day? It’s catch 22 really as I was hoping increasing his feed size might make him go longer betwee...

My 18 month old still takes a bottle with his milk. I’ve tried sippy cups, straw cups and open cups but he only likes to drink milk out of a bottle. He only drinks milk and water but he is completely okay with drinking water out of any cup. How can I get him off the bottle?

Plastic bottles and containers leach microscopic particles of plastic into our water and food 😫😩….even though the plastic says BPA free it’s still harmful…try to find the most affordable solution for your water, a home filter system, spring water directly from the source, or spring water in glass bottles…try to…

Need help if anyone can suggest some so I can try it on him thanks 😊

Hello 👋🏻 I have successfully weaned off the boob and on to formula. My baby will be 1 year jan 6th so she will only be formula fed for a couple weeks then we are switching to cow milk. I’ve been giving her a 6 oz in the morning 6 oz before a nap and 6 oz at bedtime. Am I giving her enough formula through out the…

Is anybody both breast and bottle feeding? Are you still moving up a teat size? My baby is breast and bottle fed so I’ve been advised to keep him on slowest teat. He’s now falling asleep and taking ages to finish feeds so I feel he needs moving up a size but I’m concerned it will cause issues with the breast feedin...

When did you move up from size 0 to size 1 and how did you know they needed to move up? I use mam bottles / teats if that makes a difference? X

Hello, potentiality a stupid question but a ftm about to start weaning 😅😂 … are you guys sterilising weaning equipment? Bowls, spoons etc

Is anyone using the rapid cool? Are they worth it? Any issues with them?

How much are your babies drinking in a 24 hour period? Are you following the guide or something else? If baby wakes for a night feed do you give another whole full feed?

Im planning to breastfeed exclusively… as in I will not use formula unless there is absolutely no way to feed my child otherwise. I have harvested over 20ml of colostrum most days so I have a big supply of that, so do I need to bother to buy formula for my hospital bag? Or will my colostrum be enough if anything bad...

At which times do I give antibiotics to my toddler if I have to give then 4 times a DAY (there is no need to wake a child for antibiotics). He wakes up at 9am. Could I give it every 4 hours? On the back it says give every 6 hours but when I do that I only end up giving it 3 times a day.

I’m just wondering what’s the best steriliser to use with mam bottles, I was going to get the TT uv light steriliser but heard it discolors the bottles?

Opinions please on two under two. My little one has just turned 5 months and I love the idea of a small age gap- however I am also very aware of the added stress another baby will cause. Opinions from people who have two under two and those who waited a little longer please. Anything that would need to be consider...

Anyone else’s 13 month old still on this much milk
