My baby is 1 week old & is formula feeding. We were originally feeding 60ml every 3ish hours & then got told by the midwife he hadn’t gained weight & to up his food to 120ml if he’d take it so we did. He started to have mainly 90ml and the odd 110 & feeding on demand again advised by MW. We’ve then been seen by ...

My LO has always been a big food/milk lover. He is now 7.5 months. We were doing amazing. Averaging 28oz of milk a day and 3 meals a day. We weaned at 4 months because of reflux if this has any impact. He had a viral bug friday/saturday not the first or the last. This is the first one where he refused to feed. He N...

Little one is a week and a half away from 5 months and currently on 6 ounces of formula every 3 hours and one night feed. Usually amounts to between 850-950ml over a day. Last 2 days he's been absolutely ravenous, he's getting hungry 10-15 minutes earlier than 3 hours, guzzling it down, screeches if I dare take th...

Appreciate that the guidelines say that formula should be discarded 2 hours after it’s made, but is there any harm to baby if this was longer? Sometimes my baby will only drink a couple of ounces and then want a top up a couple of hours later - can I get away with feeding her the same bottle or? (Obviously I want to...

My little girl turned 1 at the weekend so we started the milk ladder this morning and I think we’ve already failed 😩 she had half of a Heinz apple biscotti at about 11.30 and has just had a horrible nappy - foul smelling, dark green, looser than normal and I think some mucous (will post a picture in the comments).…

We are starting on puréed veg this week. Have you just been blitzing the veg on its own or adding breastmilk/formula or any herbs etc? Or is it better to just start off plain? Thanks!

My LO is 9 days old and is absolutely polishing off 3oz bottles and cueing for more! Is it safe to be making her up 4oz bottles at this age?

Currently, 35+3, anyone else been told that baby's head is starting to engage at this time. First baby was 4 weeks early. Just wondering if this one is likely to come early too?

Anyone else’s baby refusing formula? He’s 7.5 months and is teething so wondering if that has something to do with it? He’s been doing so well with weaning and having his milk but the past few days all of it has been a bit of a struggle

Is anyone still using Kendamil? It seemed to be super popular before they made changes and now all I see is negative comments about it. My baby has only just gone into formula and I’m using Kendamil so far, what problems have people found with it/why has it lost so much popularity?

We’re going away in June when baby is 4 months old and struggling to find out information on if it’s safe to use the water in Paris to sterilise bottles. We’ve been to Paris before and there were signs everywhere to not drink the water so would it be unsafe to use the water? Thinking of taking the Milton Cold Water ...

So I had a prep machine for my 1st but keep seeing lots of praise for the nuby rapid cool things, how do these work? Are they better? Thoughts and reviews please 🙏🙏

My little one turned 1 on the 5th, I’m mid transition onto cows milk. She will only drink very very warm bottles since she was newborn. As we’re nearly on full cows milk I’m struggling to think of ways to warm up the bottle when I’m out & about. We use mam bottles so the hot water/jug trick wouldn’t work😩 Any…

Hi!! Just wondering how many bottles your babies are having a day? My boy has 3 meals a day, plus snacks…and also 4 bottles (part formula, part oat milk as I try to wean him off formula. He has cows milk allergy) When I’ve skipped a bottle or reduced it to 3 he does seem to miss it and it upset until his next one. ...

So the last few days my milk supply has basically disappeared...there will be some and I will get a let down but then shortly after there's literally not a drop. My boy has been latching more and more, I'm assuming because he's either not getting enough, or 'putting the order in' to try and stimulate my supply to in...

What boundaries are you setting in place once baby is born?

Hey mamas Anyone changed to Aptamil reflux milk for their reflux babies. What was your experience?

How did your LO cope with the transition to cows milk? My daughter was being offered 3 8oz bottles of formula a day, she would generally leave an ounce from her morning and evening bottle and 2oz from her midday one. Now she’s one this week we’ve made the straight swap to cows milk. This morning I offered 5oz in a...

The last two weeks my baby just doesn’t want to drink her bottles. She will have like 50 ml and the rest is a struggle (she’s on 7oz 5x a day). I’ve tried different temp, different teat and also tried to wait longer between bottles but no matter what I try she just doesn’t want to drink it. Starting to get worried a...
