My baby has recently been prescribed aptamil pepti 1 and we have been struggling with his bottles during the night as we wake up on demand. So by the time the milk is cooled he is screaming for his bottle. Is there a way we can prep his bottles in advance to make the night times easier? Can we have boiled water in a...

so i kept my toddler on to formula 3 because he isn’t eating properly he won’t eat more than a mouthful whether it’s a meal or snack ! he is easily distracted and drinks milk more than anything else. He also gets hungry through the night and screams for milk and can tell when i offer water. this has been happening f...

Curious as to how many oz per bottle everyone is offering? And how many feeds & meals your baby is on a day?

Looking to buy one, but has anyone used one ? Would you buy it again ?

So I need some advice. I fed my little guy around 40 mins ago. He’s 4 weeks old and nearly took 120 mls which is what he’s been taking for a couple of days now. I then felt him poo whilst I was cuddling him and he started to look at little uncomfortable so I changed him. He then got quite fussy afterwards and starte...

My boy is 6 months old I have never had any issues with him drinking his bottles today tho he wants absolutely nothing to do with his second bottle of the day I have been trying for an hr now to get him to drink it he normally has a bottle every 3hrs we are now at hr 4 and I have no clue what to do

My little one usually has 7oz every 3-4 hrs and mostly finishes every bottle. The last couple of days he has only been drinking 3-5oz per feed. I’ve tried changing the teet a size and hasn’t made any difference. Once he has done 3-5oz he just starts pushing the bottle out with his tongue and refuses the rest des...

Hello, I stocked up on Aptamil Formula 1 but my little one is combi feeding and I have quite a lot left. Does anyone know where I can sell some? I have made up a bundle for the local baby bank but would ideally like to get some money back on the remaining so I can buy the stage 2 milk next. Thanks.

We are on our last 5 bottles of formula, so far he’s been having 7oz cows milk for his afternoon milk but not sure how much to give him once we fully swap

When can my baby be weaned off of formula onto regular whole milk? She’s gonna be a year old on the 22nd and my husband and I are so excited to stop formula since it’s been very expensive 😅

My little one seems to be suffering with reflux / colic and uncomfortable after feeds she’s on aptamil and thinking of changing …. Unsure whether to use Kendamil or hipp organic, any advice ?

Right mamas.. Are you buying new water bottles for your LOs every few weeks/month? If not, how are you stopping their water bottles getting mould on/in them? Arrrgh😭

My LB turned one on the 7th and we’re transitioning to cows milk. He won’t fully have the cows milk so we’re doing half formula half cows milk at the minute. However, we gave him a bottle yesterday morning but didn’t want any breakfast or dinner so I thought he might’ve been full from the milk. So, this morning I tr...

What size is your 9 month old teat size on? Im using Mam bottles with teat size 2 atm

Has anyone successful combi fed after having to introduce formula early? My baby was dropping weight when we were exclusively breastfeeding so we were advised to introduce formula top ups after breastfeeding just before she was 2 weeks old. It has worked well and she has gained weight since which is a huge relief an...

My little girl is 5 weeks old and up until yesterday was having 4oz every 3 hours. Today she has completely thrown me off. She wanted another bottle after 2 hours so for the next feed I gave her 5oz thinking that if she wanted another bottle sooner then maybe 4oz isn’t enough now as she’s growing. She finished the 5...

Hi all I’ve been looking into baby sterilisers and bottles. There is so much choice. I go to Essex a lot to see my family so was going to purchase the tommee tippee sterliser for at home and use the microwave bottles for when I’m away at weekends, does anyone have any good recommendations as I’m guessing I will nee...

My daughter is 6 months old and I’m still sterilizing her bottles. When I google how long I’m supposed to, I get mixed results. How long am I supposed to sterilize them?

My daughter turned 11 months yesterday but since yesterday she’s still hungry after 7 oz so i offered 8 oz she’s also on solids is 8 oz too much every 4h ? Should i stick to 7 oz every 4 h instead ?

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...
