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

Right now I have 5 dr brown bottles but I’m thinking maybe I should buy more… or am I being lazy ? What is your washing bottles routine?

How many ounces (on average) per day is baby drinking? I’m currently at around 30oz. But I think we’re entering a new cluster feeding stage soon. He’s acting hungrier lately and just turned 8 weeks. Also I combo feed. About 8 of the 10 feedings i do a day is breastmilk. But sometimes I can’t keep up with his demand...

When is everyone going to stop sterilising baby's bottles?

Hey guys my little one is about to turn 1 but adjusted he would only be 10.5 months. I’ve been formula feeding and not sure when to switch to milk. Should I wait til his adjusted age is 1 or when he turns 1. He’s doing really well and his growth is on the lower side of term babies. So he’s definitely caught up.

I feel abit embarrassed, my child is 1 years old but doesn't hold his bottle. he does sometimes show interest however I'm wondering is there useful advice or mum hacks on how I can encourage him. he will drink water from sippy cup and tum tum cup by himself.

Hi all, I have recently gotten the Tommee Tippee Perfect Prep machine but have realised that when trying to make 4oz(120mls) that the bottle seems to make closer to 5 oz. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks x

My heads scrambled😭 so I plan on combination feeding (all bottle fed so will be pumping) but I’m trying to look into what formula is best/ most recommended, but there’s so many and I don’t really know what to look for! Please if anyone can help and tell me what they used!❤️

How is everyone introducing cows milk to a year old? How many Oz can they have a day?

What formula does everyone find best? My boy is 11 days old and has just switched to formula, he struggles with wind a bit. X

Hi mamas! My little boy just turned one and we recently made the switch from formula to whole milk. I’m a bit unsure about how much milk he should be having daily now. I’ve heard different things and would love to hear what’s worked for your little ones! Thanks in advance!

My LG is 8 months old and is still having 3oz-5oz every 2.5/3 hours. She is also having 3 meals a day. I have tried upping her bottles but she never takes more than 5oz. I’m just wondering if this is normal or if there’s anything I can do to change this?

My boy is taking in a lot of air with the MAM Anti-colic bottles which is causing a lot of discomfort even after winding. We have tried different flow teats and that didn’t make any difference! Anyone have any ideas on what we can do? We have tried infacol and colief and they helped him bring some of it up, but I...

I think my 9 day old is suffering with colic, he gets quite upset in the evening and we do struggle getting wind up. I’ve started using colief drops so hoping these start to help and used Infacol but hasn’t made a huge difference. Currently using cow and gate and Tommee tippee bottles, is there any bottles/formula t...
