How much are your 5 week olds drinking? Mine is on 4oz every 3 hours but he’s starting to show signs of hungover at 2.5 hours so wondering whether to increase the amount to 5oz or if this is too much for him? He was 8lb 11 at birth but now weighing 11lb so he’s already a chunk!

I have always made my bottles when my girl is due her feed, never prepared in advance but now when I’m out and about alone it’s getting difficult to make bottles and keep her settled alone especially when she decides she’s hungry a lil time before her time and I’m in a shop ect. Today im going out for around a hour/...

Baby is 2.5 weeks old. He is exclusively breast fed. When I pump, measuring about 3.5 to 5 Oz in the bottle. Some times he drink all and sometimes he leaves a little. The real challenge is at night.

My baby is 3mo. He is on the smallest teat size and was doing well on these since birth until two weeks ago when he started leaking from the mouth when drinking, not finishing his bottles and eating less than usual. He doesn’t take “longer” to finish the bottle, he just doesn’t finish it at all. Makes a lot of noise...

Is anyone looking at purchasing a bottle maker? My friends have said they could live without theirs but I’ve read they’ve made babies ill from not being warm enough! Thoughts??

We used Tommee Tippee but switched to mam bottles but they are so shit I hate them. The only thing I like about them is the teat shape. Any bottles that use the same teat shape?

My son is 15 months and still has a bottle before bed. I've tried getting him to have it in a beaker or cup but he won't drink it. Do I go cold turkey or any suggestions? He's not the best sleeper and he's only just started sleeping through so don't want to rock the boat 🤣. He's a great eater though.

My 18 week is not drinking his milk properly this week (not having his usual amount) anyone with the same issue rn?

Just curious to how many bottles a day people giving their 5 month, nearly 6 month olds. For a little while now my little guy has been having 5 8oz bottles but, reading online he should only be having 4x these amount of bottles or he goes over the 32oz recommended in a day?

My little girl is 7 weeks old, she is currently on the Kendamil first infant milk at the moment. I’ve been trying to raise concerns about her potentially having reflux with our health visitor and gp. They said if they prescribe her anything it could cause more harm than good. I was thinking of maybe switching he...

So our little one is almost 3 now. And for the most part is still dairy free. Because of covid, we had 1 phone call with a dietician who told us to download and follow the milk ladder and leave it 6 weeks before trying again if there was any sort of reaction. I've always found several versions of the milk ladder w...
