Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Feeding

How do you find time to do projects when you have a baby? I rarely have time to myself and when I do it’s a short amount and I’m just so tired. Anytime I try to do something with the baby she just distracts me and wants to get into the stuff I’m using.

How many oz is my 5 week old supposed to be drinking now I haven't had to formula feed in 3 years and have forgotten

Anyone started purees yet? If so, what was the first food you introduced and what amount?

Baby is just over 7 months, was exclusively BF until 6.5 months and since then I've been decreasing this and started formula as I'm going back to work in April and don't want to pump during the day etc. If possible I'd like to keep feeding him just once a day for now but I'm not sure whether I'll keep getting a supp...

With Leo turning 1 in a few weeks, what bottles are people changing to for cows milk?

Advice needed Am I the only one in this vicious circle of washing bottles / Sanitising them/ making them up (formular) . I feel like it’s literally taking over my life . I give boob when I can but I also feel like I’m tied to the house ! If I’m out longer than the 2 hours that you can use the bottle for then I’m r...

How many ozs / mls are your baby’s having per day and how many meals a day are you giving alongside this?

Is it true that Aptamil formula contains cow milk so therefore my LO doesn't have a milk allergy?? And can give her Greek yoghurt, parmesan/Cheddar in some purees?? She's never spat up etc

This post is for anyone not enjoying this phase. With my first I thought there was something wrong with me, I hated the newborn phase. This time round it’s easier as I have perspective but still not “enjoyable” I’m definitely a toddler mum! There is nothing wrong with you if you are finding it really tough and t...

My baby just turned 3 weeks today. He just had a full 120ml (4oz) bottle of formula 40 minutes ago and is already giving me hunger cues again. Should I offer him more or let his previous meal digest for a bit ? I just feel like how can his stomach possibly have more room ?😂

My baby has just turned one (very early April baby!) and I'm not sure how to give cows milk. At the moment I give him a formula bottle morning, afternoon and night but do I carry this on with cows milk or is it meant to be given more as a drink when he's eating?

Anyone having problems with Kendamil? It is not dissolving and leaving clumps in the bottle. Baby is 5 months and we had no issues before until recently. Thinking to change formula.. anyone else experienced this?? If so, what did you switch to?

I’m currently 36w3d, but suffering with really bad lower back pains, more frequent toilet trips and loose motion. All signs of my body preparing for labour I guess. When do we start sterilising?

Can please someone tell how to do this?I am trying to put my little one on cows milk but he isn’t eating properly food every day and still prefers formula specially at night..he will still wake at least 3 times so basically every 2h or so.I tried yesterday evening to give him cow’s milk and he actually had 100ml..to...

Not sure if this is a stupid question Been weaning our 7 month old for a little while now and she’s been eating absolutely fine and drinking water. She used to drink 210ml bottles (7oz) between solids however she now won’t even finish her 180ml (6oz) bottles. When weaning do you lower the formula consumption ...

Hi all My little boy is on cow and Gate formula. He is 3 months old now and suffers from reflux. He has been on gaviscon since he was 6 weeks old but he's still sick after most feed and can still keep being sick for hours after his feed. Im thinking now that he could be intolerant to the formula. Has anyone had...

Any other mums that are feeding formula just turn the kettle on as soon as they walk into the kitchen. Not even to make a bottle.. even if it’s just to put some shopping away, or load the dishwasher or to get a snack. I always, always, turn the kettle on even if I’m not making him a bottle. Habit?

Hey, I’m 33 weeks pregnant now due end of April when did everybody sterilise baby’s bottles and dummies ready for them? x

We’re just starting to switch from ready made formula to powder and we’ve bought the nuby rapid cooler and flask to do the hot shot method. Currently my baby has 5 oz. Do we leave 1oz of boiling water in the bottle to do the hot shot with and pour 4oz into the rapid cooler? I’m worried about not having enough boili...
