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...

My LG will be 6 months next week. We’ve started purées and weatabix mashed with milk but she’s dairy free and other than this I don’t know how to go about giving her anything else. Can people please give some ideas on what to do my brain is not helping me out 🤦‍♀️😭

I’ve accidentally picked up the wrong formula and so I have a tub of Kendamil First Infant milk - it’s unopened and free to whoever needs it. Can drop off if nearby x

Has anyone's baby milk been changed to nutramigen

Is refusing formula a sign she doesn’t want botes anymore? My Lo screams when she sees the bottle of milk. Anyone had similar?

Hey ladies my daughter is currently 4 months, she is going to be 5 months in 2 weeks. She has been on aptamil formula since birth the first infant formula. Since she had her 2nd vaccinations when she was 3 and half months she developed severe colic and constipation. She also had some symptoms of acid reflux. I hav...

Very random question but i feel like I’m wasting the 5litres of Miltons I use daily for sterilising. And as my water bill has gone up £20 a month, I feel i need to try save as much as possible. Has anyone watered their plants or garden with it?

My LO is 7 months and I’ve just moved from first milk to follow on (kendamil) but really confused about how much you’re meant to give. I was giving 7oz of first milk but looks like with follow on milk you should give less? Reading contradicting things online too.

Baby is falling asleep on size 2, but drowning on size 3 🙃 Does anyone have any recommendations of a different teat to use that fits onto a Mam bottle that is faster than a 2 but not as quick as a 3?! Or has anyone used the pin method to make the flow faster on a size 2? Also, who at Mam made the size 3?!!! They…

So we’re slowly moving away from breastfeeding by adding in 2 formula feeds from next week , part of me wants to keep breastfeeding in the mornings (7am and 11am) feeds and formula feed in the afternoon and evening but another part of me thinks it would be better to completely move to formula by the time she is arou...

My baby is nearly 3 weeks old and she seems to be going through a lot of bottles in a day she’s currently on 3oz and had been since she was born she seems to be a very hungry baby and I’m just wondering if I should up her to 4 Oz because of how many bottles she’s going through a day and she’s nearly having 30 Oz a day
