How much milk does your formula fed August baby drink now that you’ve started weaning?

He wouldn’t latch and was so hungry and screaming so a panicked and gave him a bottle of formula. I am so sad and upset that that’s it now his stomach will have expanded to take that amount and he will get a taste for it and not be satisfied at the breast 😥

I'm just curious! How are your 1-year-old boys? Sleeping? Eating? Walking? Speech? Playing? Is there breastfeeding still? Learning? No judging all babys are different!

My 7mo is refusing his feeds. He usually has 4 bottles a day of 8oz along with food but has only been consuming 1 1/2 maybe 2 bottles a day. My HV advised to stop giving food until he’s back on his milk, however I haven’t noticed a change yet. He has been sleeping through the nights since 7 weeks old and is now wa...

Can someone for the love of God help me. He keeps doing this making feeding incredibly difficult and frustrating. He only does this 1-2 feedings not every feeding. He doesn’t have any oral ties, idk if this is him fighting sleep or does this mean I’m not making enough milk. But especially because I have a c section...

I’m not able to produce enough for my baby. I mentally know that that’s ok, nothing wrong with formula. But my heart is so sad for my baby and me. Any words of encouragement would be really appreciated.

By baby is 7 weeks 2 days old curious how many bottles your little ones drinking 24h. (ML + timings) every 2/3h? Ref: my little girl will go 3/4h through night last bottle being 10pm ish but then through the days it’s 2h is this normal? Feel like all I do is give her a bottle.shes having 120ml At every feed. Qu...

Help!!! My newborn is nearly 3 weeks and is formula fed as I don’t produce enough milk for him! He is on circa 90ml per feed (sometimes top him up with more when he shows signs of being hungry) But he is waking / wanting feeding every 90-120mins… yesterday he had close to 200ml over the guidelines on the packet....

LG starting a trial on pepti 1 today, I tried a straight switch which was met with a few eager gulps then a screwed up face 🙈 in total only managed to get her to take 2oz out of 7. So I am doing a more gradual approach with 5 scoops cow & gate to 2 scoops pepti 1 and she drinks that all. I’m really nervous though…

Need some others' experiences to put a worried FTM mind at ease. My LG has been weaning for the past 2 weeks, but doesn't eat much, only half a jar and a nibble of some snacks. I know this is completely normal at this age, and food is just for fun, but she's now also dropping her milk feeds. She is on aptamil an...

When did you get your child their first tablet

Are you giving your little ones vitamins? How old are they and how are you giving them? My LO has just stopped having milk at bedtime in which we gave him his vitamins so I'm not not sure a) if he needs them and b) how do I give them now he's not having milk?

I've started to combi feeding my LO, just wondering how are people managing whilst you're out? How're you warming/preparing bottles? At home we have the tommee tippee prep machine. TIA x

I had to see a GP yesterday and my baby needed feeding at the time. She was rather unhelpful and told me that the residue inside my babies bottle was not normal, but didn’t tell me why or what to do… Does anyone else have residue in their bottles like this? It was during a feed. I use Dr Browns bottles, cold water ...

5 months pp, ebf, no period, baby feeds a lot during night. Does weaning one or two feeds to formula help get your period? Keen for baby no. 2 to be close in age. How has this happened for other people?

Does anyone know which formulas Craigavon or daisy hill provide after you’ve given birth? I want to use kendamil but not sure if I need to bring my own or if they provide it! Thanks

Hi all, I have an unopened tub of Aptamil Advanced 1 and four ready to use bottles of Aptamil Advanced 1 that I would be happy to give away if someone needs/wants it? We were bought the wrong formula and it seems a shame to waste it.

Hey all, is anyone else’s little one suddenly refusing bottles? Not sure if it’s because he’s got a taste for solid foods and new flavours etc now but I’m a bit concerned as he’s gone from full 11oz bottles to approx 3oz! Any tips? X

I'm trying to find a Milton cold water Steriliser for a reasonable price that isn't going to take forever to get here. Baby is due in less than a month, and I can only find them on amazon for over £22 and they take up to 2 month to come. I've checked the shops and it's like the only Steriliser to exist is microwave ...

What is you little current feeding schedule with milks/foods? I feel like we need to get better routine
