Hey! I’ve recently switched to Aptamils anti reflux formula and noticed an amazing difference in my little one.

He has 2 meals a day but don’t think he’s ready for 3 just yet. Do I do 8oz bottles in hope he drops a bottle in the day as he should go longer between fe...

So our little one just used up the last of her formula and is now on cows milk completely. But my partner keeps asking me why I'm not still doing formula for her, and it got me wondering why we do transition to cows milk? I know she doesn't need the formula anymore, as she's on 3 meals and they're well balanced, but...

I'm 15weeks pp and my milk production has stopped increasing. I'm barely producing enough to keep up and we've had to start supplementing with formula. I feel like I'm failing at this. Any other moms out there dealing with this?

I am exclusive pumping for my second baby and got all glass bottles this time around. However, my flanges and some of my milk containers are plastic. With sterilizing, I am concerned that the heat levels are breaking down the plastic and it’s going to get into the milk that my baby drinks. Has anyone come across thi...

My LO has become EXTREMELY fussy on the breast. He will not take it during the day, he screams and cries however during the night he is absolutely fine and will latch on and feed fine....(Is anyone else experiencing this?) I'm finding it hard to express to give him breast milk in a bottle during the day, so I'm lo...

Hey! I am taking my 4.5 month old to Sardinia soon. I will use baby safe bottled water for his formula, but can I use their tap water for sterilising his bottles with Milton? Thanks xx

My little is coming up to 4 months this week but the last couple of times he’s not taking his full bottle like he used to he takes 6oz usually every 4 hours but he’s started not finishing it any ideas why this could be?

Was really hoping to BF my little one but after 2 days my nipples are beyond touchable and have found out he has a tongue tie which is why we have struggled to latch properly! Anyway I have decided to formula feed whilst I recover as even pumping is beyond agony….does anyone pre-make a couple of bottles keep them ...

My partner is EBF but also expressing into bottles so I can feed our baby boy too. However, for the past 2-3 weeks, he's not been latching on properly and being really fussy on both the boob and the bottle. He's 4 months old and a hungry boy too so we're worried incase he's not getting enough 😢 We're wondering if…
