Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Feeding

I feel like the issues are never ending, you feel like you fix one problem but then have to face another! My little boy is finally on SMA alfamino for suspected CMPA after trying other CMPA formula, normal formula, anti reflux formula, omeprazole, gaviscon, carobel.. you name it.. we’ve tried it. I have seen an imp...

My baby is feeding really randomly at the moment, he was on 5oz pretty consistently but now having 2/3/4 sometimes even 1oz. He won't have a bedtime bottle and goes to bed with only having 2oz at 5.30 ish. (Bedtime is at 8pm). Is this normal? Do they fluctuate? Anyone have any ideas how I can get him feeding a bit...

My little one is 7 months on Thursday and is still using size 2. Has anyone changed to 3/4 fast flow yet?

I usually give my little one breakfast first thing as he wakes up but he's always very upset and crying as I'm feeding him thinking whether I should give him the bottle first then breakfast a bit later on? What does everyone else do?

Hi all, my girl has been prescribed Carobel for her milk. However the instructions are so 💩. My girl has 4oz feeds so does anyone know how much I put in a bottle. Again the instructions are not clear 🙃

My baby girl is now 13 weeks old, weighs about 10.5 lbs, and has been consistently growing on the 4-5% curve. Her pediatrician is not too worried (she was born tiny at only 5lbs!), but she really only wants to drink 18 ounces of formula a day. She sleeps from 9pm-6am every night, naps well during the day, and will...

Hey guys my LO just turned 1. She still needs a full bottle of milk during the day and at nite before she goes to bed. She refuses to water and only take sips here and there so I give milk to at least give her fluids as she will definitely drink it. However now she has turned 1 she needs to come off formula milk. My...

I’m feeding my son fresh cows milk from his Tommy Tippee bottle - it took him 17mins to have 7oz as opposed to his usual 6/7minutes on formula … What am I doing wrong

How many bottles is your lo having? Are they still on formula or cows milk? How many oz? Me and my partner are in a debate, he’s trying to tell me to give our lo 1 7/8oz bottle for the night - I agree But he’s trying to say not to give him his morning bottle 7oz at all - I don’t agree.. The days he goes to nurse...

I’m making my baby a 5oz bottle and after adding formula it ends up going to 6oz line.. so would I consider it a 5oz or 6oz bottle …

My 6mo has been prescribed this for CMPA and on the back it says to prep using fresh boiled water cooled to room temp. I'm guessing this is so you don't kill the live bacteria. My question is, can I prep bottles for the day by boiling fresh water in the morning, filling 6 bottles with the water and leaving them on t...

First time mum here and I’m struggling to make sense of this steriliser! The instructions say to steam in just warm water but why does everyone seem to be telling me to use Milton fluid?? Do I need the Milton or not with a steam steriliser? 😭😭

There's so much conflicting info so just wanted some advice. After 6 months my breastfeeding journey is coming to an end due to CMPA/ezcema and baby having to go onto an allergen free formula. Just wondered how people prep bottles with the "hot shot" method? This is how I was planning as baby won't drink them cold...

Can you freeze pureed avocado?

My almost 3 week old little boy is formula fed and appears to be feeding little and often which is fine.. but recently he's clearing 4oz bottles and then an hour later crying for more. Is this normal?

So my boy is 13 months and I’ve been trying to wean him off formula (slowly reducing the amount on formula in his bottle and topping it up with more whole milk). If it has formula in he will drink it, however I’ve been trying to get him to drink straight whole milk and he absolutely refuses! I want to eventually get...

My little girl is loving her solids. She usually has 2 meals a day and snacks at lunchtime. She also loves her water. With her loving her solids, she’s started drinking less and less formula. She probably only has about 16 oz a day so I’ve been giving her vitamins. Just curious if anyone is in the same boat and wha...

My little ones 3 months and struggles with a size 1 teat ..should i be concerned (We use mam bottles)

Hi! We are flying in a weeks time and I still have no idea what to do with the whole bottle thing. We make her bottles with cool water but I’m guessing I can’t take a whole cold flask worth of water through security? And apparently jf if I take a pre made bottle through they take ages testing it. Ugh we fly at 6.10a...

How is everyone sterilising their nubys? My nuby doesn’t fit in my steriliser so I’ve bought the Milton sterilising fluid. Do you also sterilise after each use if you’re using it during the night? Or do you just wash out the milk with tap water ready for next use and sterilise it in the morning? I know you can do th...
