So the last two days little miss has been pushing her milk away and screaming, yet she will eat her hand or chew on anything in sight. She recently moved up to 700-750ml on average per day but has taken 540ml today. Would usually have a milk about 7/7:30 and go to bed but instead she has completely refused the bot...

Hi everyone Little one is 12 months old in two weeks. The last week he’s really dropped his milk, from 3x 8oz bottles a day down to 3-4 bottles of 2-3oz. He has oat milk in cereal and cooking. Is this massive reduction normal? Should I be worried about calcium intake? Thanks

Looking for advice from breastfeeding/bottle feeding (formula&breast milk) mamas please. What is your typical schedule like? Do you breastfeed throughout the day then bottle feed at night or vice versa or is it breastfeed followed by a bottle of formula? Also how much oz/mls is given in a bottle?

When reading the cleaning instructions today it states to clean after each use however sterilise on...

Is anyone else's baby not gaining weight? Archer is 3 weeks old today and he's losing weight! I'm expressing and he's having 2.5oz to 3oz every 3 hours or so. He's not a sicky baby, he's having plenty of wet and dirty nappies, he isn't spitting the milk out so I'm not sure why he isn't gaining weight! He was 7lbs 1...

What size teat is your 9 month old using?

Random question but if I'm trying to log how much formula my little one is having in a feed, how would I do so. For example she is on anti reflux powder which has thickener in it. So I would make a 3oz bottle but in the bottle because of the thickener it would read as 4oz roughly .. so if I'm logging do I say it's...

How do I get my 1 year old off formula

Hi, our 19 week old has been doing this for a little while now. He was still on number 1 teats as he couldn’t handle number 2 when he started. Then we changed to number 2 recently and thought it might have solved the problem but it hasn’t. When he’s drinking, he seems to blow bubbles back into the teat which he’s t...

We’re looking at buying a few different brands of bottle, to see which one our little one will like before we buy loads of one brand. We bought a pack of two MAM bottles yesterday, however they’re the bigger size (260ml). Do I need to buy the smaller ones, or will I be okay to go straight to using the larger ones ...
