Hiya everyone. I’m going on a small trip soon and I was wondering if anyone knows of a bottle warmer product? I usually use boiling water and put the bottle in there, but does anyone use any products instead?

my LO got prescribed aptamil pepti 1 yesterday as we went to the doctors for his symptoms and he was scoring quite high for suspected CMPA. i got told to do a straight switch and he’s on a weeks trail with it, he won’t take to it unless i do more scoops of old milk so i do 3 scoops of old, 2 scoops of new, did anybo...

In due in May, I want to try breastfeeding but want formula as a back up in case baby girl doesn’t take it straight away or I don’t have enough milk supply. But I’m not sure which one to choose from. It’s either between aptamil or Kendamil. Which one should I go for? Also when does the milk start to come through. I’...

I have been breastfeeding (combination feeding) my baby for just over 2 and a half week’s and I have decided that breastfeeding isn’t for me, I’m finding it a lot more difficult than I first thought. I have already started to introduced formula to her but I would like to go onto feeding her formula full time. Any in...

My LO hasn’t been finishing any of his bottles in the last two days. He’s totally fine in himself. We have just challenged his milk allergy and found he does have it so we need to continue with the dairy free but I’m just worried about he his lack of eating. He’ll down 3/4oz and then just not be bothered about anymo...

(Aimed at those with 2 or more children and the second child is 5 months or older)

which do people recommend, microwave steriliser or milton?

Has anyone else started weaning off formula now that they are coming up to a year? I have started mixing some whole milk in with formula to get him used to it

They’ve recently changed their packaging but does anyone know if they’ve changed the formula at all? Since changing over to the new tubs I’ve noticed my LO has become more constipated and wondered if it’s related?

My little one is 11 weeks old today but I feel like he’s not having as much milk as he should be.. some feeds he will have 100-120ml, but other times he doesn’t take as much and will only have 40-90mls.. he has been gaining weight fine, although he’s not been weighed since the start of December so I just worry

So… my little girl has been off her formula milk just over 4 months now and over the past while has just completely stopped drinking milk at bed time or at all really…. She used to still drink some cows milk before bed but over time just completely dropped it, I’ve tried giving her it though out the day but she does...

Silly question but I’m just wondering when you know when or if you need to change baby’s teat on the bottle… He’s 11 weeks and using mam bottles on size 1 teat, I wasn’t sure if he should be on size 2 or not

I am having such a hard time with my 4 month old at the moment. He has just been diagnosed with a cows milk allergy so I have switched to lactose free formula from normal aptamil which has made his tummy a lot better but every time I put a bottle in his mouth before any milk even comes out he starts to scream, arch ...

Does anyone have any experience of not getting a let down in a feed? I’ll randomly feel it throughout the day but not when he’s feeding. It’s meaning he isn’t getting enough milk even though I’ve worked hard to build my supply and the milk is there 😪
