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...

We have been reducing the formula to 4oz formula and 4oz cows milk but slowly reducing to just cows milk. How is everyone warming up the cows milk?

For those who bottle feed and use the kettle, how do you prepare your bottles? Can you prepare more than one and store in the fridge for 24 hours? Then do you reheat by standing the bottle in a jub of spiking water? Please can you advise me the steps that you take to prepare your bottles thank you

Hi, I have been looking at how to make formula using the Nuby prep machine but when I look at videos of people doing this, they are using the hot shot method. What is the reason for doing the hot shot method? They don't mention this when reading the instructions for using the Nuby. Can I just use hot water? Many tha...

Hello new to group. I have a four month old baby girl who isn not quite ready for introduction to our foods yet, but I’m curious has to what exactly is BLW. With my older kids who are now 7 & 14 I did purees for a few months then soft solids and so forth. I made my own purees and all too. Apologies but BLW is a new ...

My son is 10 months now and refuses to hold his bottle I know he knows how to , but he just won’t do it almost as if he just being lazy lol any tips ?

I am struggling to keep up with my baby's appetite and thinking to supplement with formula ... I tried by heart and Bobbie and she refused both. Then I focused on boosting my supply but I think I'll need to supplement. Any suggestions on how to help baby take some formula?

Is anyone else here combi feeding a 4m or similar age? Cannot really find any helpful information or advice on it anywhere.

In case it helps anyone else… our, mainly breastfed, boy suddenly refused bottles at around 12 weeks (now 15). Partly our fault as we weren’t giving him them often enough, nor did I realise that at around 2 months their reflex changes from sucking to chewing. We tried him on his mam ones that he used to take no pro...

How does everyone work out babies age?

Hi all. I’m posting this incognito because I don’t want to feel stupid. But can I make 8oz bottles of kendamil. No where on the tub or website does it say I know it’s probably just an extra scoop. But just want to ask some people going through the same thing. My LB is smashing 7oz bottles and is basically ready to...

My 4yro son is obsessed with milk. I mix half water/half milk in a 5oz cup but he asks for it all day long. He has maybe 6-8 cups a day. I'm not concerned, more curious if anyone else has a child who just loves milk?? My older child lost interest in milk around the age of 2 and prefers either water or green juice mi...

I tried my LO on a size 2 teat a couple of days ago & he threw a lot of it back up as I think the flow was too fast. He does suffer with reflux & has gaviscon from the GP. Should I keep trying with the size 2 teat? Or stick to size 1 for the time being. Not really sure the reasons for changing the teat size if they...

I have some Kendamill ready made formula but I haven't kept in the fridge. Can I still use it? I thought it only had to go in the fridge once opened and then used within 24 hours, but I've just been storing the unopened ones in the cupboard. Is that OK.

I don’t understand this whole milk thing? When do you give it, how much do you give, do you stop formula all together? I combi feed and give my baby a formula top up before bed every night. Do I just stop doing that? Do I also just give lunch and no milk feed after or do I give whole milk with lunch and dinner? It...

Hi everyone, currently I'm combi feeding our 4 week old baby. I wanted to reduce the number of formula feeds but I don't think I'm making enough milk. Baby will have breast milk for about 45 mins at a time and then starts crying hysterically and only settles when we give him formula. Any tips on how I can increase m...

We’ve accidentally given our 13 month old garlic bread with milk in the ingredients. I’m guessing it’s the butter. Apart from bloating and some horrendous trumps, he’s been okay thankfully. What step on the milk ladder would this be? And would you stop? Or carry on?

My little boy is 4 months old and has suddenly stopped drinking all his milk! He will have 2 / 3 oz and then refuse it!! He does this with most of his feeds now! I’m worried he’s not getting enough!

How much cows milk does you LO get per day? How much formula do they get per day? I give water freely throughout the day, but wondering what the correct amounts are for milk/formula now. Also, do you only give cows milk in a cup/straw cup, and not a bottle? Thanks
