My nearly 14 month old has been off her one and only bottle of milk a day (at bedtime) but during the transition to cows milk from formula. I got to 6oz of cows milk and 3oz of formula and she was drinking some of this and then nothing at all and has been refusing this bottle for just over a week now? I’ve even trie...

Either stage 2 or 1 at this point we’ve been so many shops to try get it and it seems there’s never any been trying to get some every time I’ve left the house this week and I’m now one bottle away from being out where can I get a tub of kendamil ASAP

Due to a comment from a family member about feeding him too much I’m now over thinking this but I’m very 50/50 on this. My 10.2 week old boy who weighs a hearty 14.6lbs has been on 6oz, 5 times a day that he wants more milk. He’s a bit fussy after the bottle finishes but soon settles. I’ve given him 7oz per bottle...

Does any one use SMA Althera ? We've just been prescribed it and cleaning the bottles after is a chore due to how greasy they are! Lol What does everyone do to clean them ? I soaked them in boiling water earlier then scrubbed them with a bottle brush but still seemed to have a greasy residue inside ?

Anyone know if there is a formula shortage going on?? Every single store around me is completely out of stock or almost out of stock with 1-2 cans left of similac sensitive formula. I’m curious why almost every store is out of the formula I give my baby girl!!

Any ideas on how to transition to cows milk? My LB has just turned 1 he still wakes up in the night for 2/3 bottles. I’ve tried doing cows milk during the day and formula at night but he just doesn’t like the cows milk at all. Any advice?

Hello! Does anyone have any recommendations for bottle sterilisers? I keep seeing Tomme Tippe ones for sale on FB Marketplace, but have heard quite a few bad reviews on it 🤔

Hello! I’ve been using the anti colic bottles from MAM and recently bought the next one up, the easy active baby bottle. With the anti colic ones I sterilise by taking them apart and using microwave sterilisation but how would I sterilise this bottle? Thank you?m!

Any tips for getting my little girl to take bottles? We used tommee tippee a few times and our LG was ok with them but she is now refusing to take them and cries when I try to give it to her. The same goes for MAM bottles. Our health visitor said to keep trying with the tommee tippee ones as she was ok with them in ...

I’ve made baby a 5 ounce bottle of formula, he fell asleep before I could give it, I don’t want to waste the formula can I reheat in the microwave ?

Sorry this might be a long one! My 7 week old is EBF but I am finding the cluster feeding in the evenings and feeding on demand during the day really hard. I formula fed my first and I loved the routine knowing she would need a bottle every x amount of hours. I know every baby is different but is there a rough age w...

We have the nanobebe bottles and we need to swap the teats but we can’t find the medium flow teats anywhere! Does anyone know if any other teats fit?!

My boy has recently had his tongue tie cut. I was told at the time he also has a high palette which is why his latch on a bottle is terrible. He chokes and takes in so much air. I have seen nuk bottles being suggested but which ones?

Struggling to find Kendamil first milk as I’m sure most people on here are. I know it’s supposed to be coming back to stores over the next few weeks.

Hi! I’m choosing to formula feed from birth. I’m wondering if anyone knows if I have to bring formula to the hospital? I’m going to do the Enfamil Neuro Pro.

Just out of interest how often are we sterilising dummies? I try and change my 4 month olds dummy every day but sometimes forget so can be up to 2 days 🫣

Hey! Our 5 week old is on a combination of breast and kendamil(mainly kendamil) however he is constantly grunting and squirming trying to pass wind. When we burp him he also screams now and again like he’s uncomfortable. Is it worth me trying another formula? We’ve tried infacol but made things worse for him.

Babies sleeping through the night that are formula fed, how are your feeding schedules? Thanks xx Edit: baby is 5 months old
