I see alot of people raving about the nubby rapid cool are they really good for powder milk bottle feeding? Do you literally put boiling water in the flask and it cools it down to a nice temp? How long do they need to be left in Milton sterilising water to be able to use again? Surly if I put powder in milk bottle a...

Has anyone noticed that since kendamil opened another factory in Europe and made Bonya their own formula has gone downhill? It used to just melt with a little swirl and now I have to shake it or swirl it so much/hard I might aswell shake it otherwise there's lumps in it Absolutely gutted it was the only one what I f...

I've read a lot of posts about BF babies still feeding a lot, but I'm worried we are too far opposite- my 10mo LB is barely feeding from me. I feel like he's self weaning but I'm worried if he doesn't want to feed off me, should I give him formula so I know he's definitely still having milk? He loves his solids and ...

If formula feeding (still not decided 🤦🏻‍♀️) am I best taking the ready made stuff to hospital or powder? Formula isn't even on the NHS list to take so not really sure x

I’ve got a 8 month that’s on the move and I’ve found this the hardest stage so far

My baby is 14 weeks old and was born 8lb 3oz. Over a month ago he used to have 5oz but got told I was overfeeding by the doctor. He has since been on 4oz but feel like he isn’t getting enough.. I tried giving him 5oz yesterday but he seems to bring a lot of it up during winding or after. He is quite a chubby baby co...

Hiya all, we are due to travel to Turkey in a few days, what brand bottled water is best to use for her formula feeds? Tia x

My 9mo is still on 6 bottles during the day and then we're doing 3 meals a day on top of this. He's only just started getting into food really but he eats plenty and then still wants a milk feed shortly after. He's still doing about 35oz milk per day!! He's 9 months and was born 9th centile but has gone up to 25th c...

If I am putting in 210ml of water and it sits at the 240ml line after the formula has been put in. How much milk is my baby getting? (I write it down in an app and not sure which one to put it as)

Genuinely curious, mine does 5/6 feeds a day at 6 oz each which is what the formula container says but she wants more!

for those of you who are mixing formula with cows milk to transition eg 1oz milk 7oz formula how are you doing it? Are you doing say 1oz every bottle for the first day, 2oz the next day etc Or are you doing 1oz for a few days? First time mum so clueless I don’t want to just swap or swap one bottle as my baby ...

Hi my little one is 9 weeks old. Im using MAM bottles. I have just put her up to size 2 teat as she was getting frustrated with size 1, the teat was coming out flat and she was falling asleep. However it appears size 2 is too fast, she’s finishing the bottle very quick and seems like she can’t get a consistent s...

Can I take a whole container of formula on the plane? Or only a certain amount?

We have a 2.5 year old and a 14 month old. Our youngest is pretty chill but our oldest is a handful and I honestly think he may be on the spectrum but I also don’t know if it may just be a toddler phase. In a perfect world in 1-2 years I’d want another but the thought of things being more harder than they are now, ...

Silly question but how are we cleaning babies bowls and spoons? Are we sterilising them or just washing them?

Note: Pediatrician was seen today. I don’t need advice on the feeding at night. We will be making sure he eats extra at night until he has steady weight gain…. Our little one is underweight(no loss of weight), therefore I’m having to supplement formula for a week. He eats every 1.5-2 hours during the day for 30-40m...

Hi mamas! My lo from last 2 days not feeding well. He gets hungry and whenever I give him the milk he takes for a second then right after he moves the bottle away and scream or cry. Any one else having this ?

Any advice on the best way to make bottles & sterilising abroad? Thanks

Looking for recommendations for a baby sterliser - I’ve been looking at the Tommee Tippee UV one but worried about how much this one stores - especially if I can’t use the TT bottles and have to change to another brand who are taller!

My little boy is 9.5 months old and is exclusively breastfed other than the occasional formula bottle when dad is putting him down for the night. He is on 3 meals a day plus his usual feeds. Curious, How many milk feeds are you doing a day and how many mls?
