My 2 week old never finishes 3oz is it normal to never have empty bottles after a feed I’m a first time mum and learning so not quite sure

EDIT: we use Suavinex bottles Hey mamas 😀 Do you have any recommendations for portable steriliser when travelling? (Ideally steam steriliser) I will be soon travelling with my LO who is 4 months and formula fed, therefore looking for advice because I don’t want to carry the big steam steriliser with me. Thanks in…

I used kendamil last time but know there's an issue with getting it sometimes. Considering others. What have you chosen and why?

Hi , my boy is still having formula milk 2x day . I don’t see the harm, he eats well and in my opinion formula ensures he got vitamins . Also financially it is better for us because we don’t drink milk at home so I don’t have to buy milk just for him . But I understand that I must transfer him to cows milk . How di...

My LO has tongue tie at birth so went down the pumping and formula route as he was a big baby. He's now 10 weeks. I get confused about how much I should be feeding him with this mixed feeding and find myself wasting a lot of breast milk which can be quite frustrating. He seems to want to eat breast milk every 2 hour...

I had someone tell me she is starting this year, but I am really confused. When should I start looking at potential schools for her?

Hello :) anyone mind sharing what their daily schedule/routine seems to be currently with their January baby? And if formula fed- how much are they drinking and how often etc? Just trying to see if my LO is around the same? Thanks all :)

Okay how many bottles do I actually need to buy to survive the 0-3 month stage please? Ideally I do x1 wash per day - but I have no clue how many bottles I need roughly to make that happen - any help would be appreciated!

Hey mammas, my 4 month old has started drinking a lot less milk throughout the day. He used to drink 180ml every 3 hours and now he’s only drinking around 120ml sometimes less… is this normal? And could it lead to more night time feedings? (That’s actually my fear😅)

My little one is four months he’s been combi fed and has no real routine with feeds sometimes he takes formula more and others he only wants breast milk. However I think breast feeding is coming to an end, as I do not think my supply is there and it’s hard monitoring how much he is having. How much/often is everyone...

Does anyone else's baby not seem full unless they've had milk? She seems to be eating most of the food especially at breakfast, dinner is more hit and miss but she's still wanting a bottle an hour after breakfast and almost straight away after dinner. She has reduced the amount generally from around 8oz to 6, but I ...

Hey, my LO is 2 weeks old and showing signs that she’s still hungry after feeding but she’s already at the max recommended amount for a 4 week old according to the aptamil box…? Do I keep feeding her if she wants it? Or not go over the max amount on the box 🤔

Just looking at some responses on how much formula baby is getting - are mums going by when the baby is rooting or what the box says ? We’re already at the max suggestion on the aptamil box for her age but sometimes she wants more ? And I don’t know whether she should or not.. looking at some responses saying 4 oz ...

When reducing down to 3 bottles what time are you giving your bottles ?

Is it anygood?

My 11 week old baby (who was 4 weeks premature) is around 11lb which the health visitor says is on track considering prem but she only takes 4oz every 4/5 hours ish. She probably takes in about 600ml a day with encouragement. Do we think this is ok?

Is there any way to take formula out and about which I have already made up? For context.. my LO is on a prescription formula which isn’t always in stock meaning we are super careful with wasting any as it can be like gold dust!! He is now taking more ml per feed, but there is always a bit spare so currently we h...

My little boy turned 1 on the 13th March. I feel like he's drinking a lot of milk and still sometimes waking wanting more in the night. How many bottles do your little ones drink?

How are we preparing neocate LCP? I was boiling the kettle and allowing the kettle to cool for 30 mins (as per instructions), then transferring to a flask and using hot shot and rapid cooling the rest. Now I've got inside my head that it should be poured into the bottles and once it's at room temp then mix with the ...

so i know milk is main source of nutrition/hydration til age 1 and naturally the amount they take may go down with weaning. i'm wondering whether it might be time to drop a bottle as my almost 8 month old rarely finishes one these days - i offer 6oz bottles. could someone have a look at current feeding schedule and ...
