My 4.5-month-old has suddenly started refusing the bottle. He had the flu last week, and ever since, he completely refuses to take it. I was breastfeeding while also giving him a bottle 2–3 times in 24 hours, but now he won’t take formula at all. He just pushes the teat out with his tongue and cries until I offer th...

My little one is almost 3 weeks and currently drinking 5oz formula (normally between 3 and 5 anyway) recently he’s been wanting bottle after bottle.

My son is five weeks tomorrow and he is on 3/4oz every two hours. It doesn’t always happen but probably every other day or every three days he is throwing up what looks like his whole bottle and not sure if he is having to much or the milk doesn’t agree with him

For those formula fed baby mums - how many oz / mls are you feeding your baby at 5/6 weeks old and how often? I’m getting so many mixed messages about how much I should be giving him I’m now not sure what’s right! Any advice welcome, thank you!

Hi ladies! How can I dispose the sharp box given with Clexane injections? I checked with local council and they don’t have an information. I live in Wales.

Has anyone made this transition yet? Or when are people planning to? And which one?

My little girl has absolutely zero interest in her milk! She is such a good eater and has a really good balanced diet, but I cannot for the life of me get her to drink her formula! How many bottles a day is everyone’s June 2024 babies drinking? I’m lucky if I get 10oz all day into my little girl, about 3oz on a mor...

Hey everyone! Has anyone else noticed their bub drinking less milk? My little one is 7 months, almost 8 (AUG 11), and recently he hasn’t been drinking as much as he used to. We’ve only introduced one solid meal a day so far, but sometimes he’ll only take 50-60ml instead of his usual 180-200ml. He’s still having a n...

Hey! I was wondering if anyone uses a bottle warmer when they are out rather than the nuby rapid cool? Or has anyone tried both? Which did you prefer?

I’m using the MAM bottles for my little girl. She’s 9 weeks old. Should I be moving up to a size 2 teat? She’s currently using number 1, but I feel she is falling asleep on the bottle quite fast. There is times where she will still have milk coming out of the side of her mouth. Is that an indication that I should be...

My boy will be 15mo next week and is still drinking formula. He’s waking 2x in the night for bottles and has 2/3 throughout the day of about 6oz. He does eat food but not amazingly and I think it’s because he’s filling up on formula. We’ve tried cows milk several times since January but he suffers with chronic con...

Hi mamas, my little boy barely drinks his 11am and 3pm bottles so I want to try him on a 3 bottle schedule instead of 4. What time do you give the middle bottle?

My 9.5mo old has 6-7 4oz bottles of formula per day (including nights) and 2 solid meals a day (lunch at daycare and dinner at home). Am I supposed to be feeding her breakfast too…?

How often should I be sterilising my baby’s bottles and pumping parts? I normally breastfeed and pump twice a day, give a bottle 1-2 times a day. I wash the bottles immediately but what about sterilisation?
