So pissed off 😡

My bf just came back from his mums with our daughter. I asked if she finished her milk while they were there and he said there’s still some left but I wouldn’t give it to her as we diluted it with cold water as she was desperate for it at the time. I said wtf you’re not suppose to dilute formula or vice versa - add ...

Baby initially rejecting Nutramigen

My 3 month old son was prescribed Nutramigen last week and I went to give him his first bottle and he gagged and retched and would not take it (I then cried for 2 hours because I was ...

Formula measurements

I’m now exclusively using formula… for other mums doing the same, what measurements are you using & how often? LO is now 11 weeks, she’s on 150ml / 5oz roughly every 4 hours. The formula box says she should be on a little more but other sources say what we are already measuring. Curious what other mamas are doing ? 🤔

Hungry formula

Hello, my baby is 2 weeks old and he is guzzling every drink he has. He is currently on between 4/5 oz (I fill a 5oz but never fully finishes it) every 3.5/4 hrs. I have started to struggle with him going to sleep after a feed and burp so tonight I have bought the hungrier aptamil formula to see if there’s any chang...

Bottle night feeds

I'm thinking of transitioning from breastfeeding to formula for night feeds. How do you manage these in the least disruptive way. Do you make a bottle or warm ready made?

Hi ladies! I have a basically full box of Kendamil formula that I do not need, my wee one only needed one bottle worth as my breast milk hadn’t come in yet and she’s now exclusively on breast milk so it leaves me with this basically full box of Kendamil that we don’t need. 🥰 we just want to see it get used as I…

5m Bottle Refusal

My son is 5 and a half months old and has started refusing a bottle of formula. He’s been combi fed from the start taking both formula in bottles & breast. He’s started to get very upset when we offer a bottle. I don’t have much supply (hence combi feeding). Does anyone have any advice how to get him to take a bottl...

I don’t serve milk?

Feeling slightly worried as my 15 month old stopped having milk in a bottle around 1 year and does not take more than a sip of milk in a straw or open cup. I do give yogurt and cheese or kefir through out the day. I saw a post about milk and I’m over here thinking he has about 10ml 😂 Does anyone have a clear…
