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 ...

Hi, wanted to see if anyone could help me with baby gaviscon when do I add it to the bottle at the end or at the start for the babies feed?

How much and often are your babies eating? We attempted to breast feed but unfortunately baby is still losing weight and spending hours on the breast and then still needing top ups.

How can I use this if my baby isn’t bottle fed at all? Can I syringe directly into mouth?

My 12 week old will only have 5oz from a bottle at the moment but the tins all say that she should be having 6oz? She’s gaining weight and healthy but is this something anyone else is going through? Or should I be worried? Thanks☺️

Going away on Friday and read online that the anti colic bottles just leak everywhere because the air pressure sucks up the milk into the air valve 😣 We don’t want to change bottles with our little one though. Looked around and wondering if we can remove the valve and teat and put a lid on the bottles until needed?…

My 9 month old has just started nursery.. and has been refusing his bottle in the day. I’ve googled how much milk/food babies this age should be having. Apparently 3 meals a day with a snack, and between 24-32 oz of milk. Yesterday he had 20oz and today (after his bedtime bottle) he would have had 22oz. Should I...
