Looking advice - my LO has had bottle aversion since they were born, called them the 90ml kid as that’s the max they seemed to take unless going through a growth spurt, have found with weaning it’s made things worse as now it is a battle for getting bottles into them, I’m trying to get the recommended 500ml in but i...

My little girl has a 7am, 3pm after nap, 7pm bedtime bottle and then one around 2am! Is this too much?

How many bottles are ye giving to your 8 month old? I have been giving 5x 7oz bottles and wondering should I change down to 4x? Also with thr teat we are on size 2 tried 3 but my LO was ready. I have not bought new ones should I be buying new size 2 if he has been using the same ones the last few months? I'm sterili...

Hi 👋🏻 is anyone able to recommend a dairy free baby formula that is easily available in most supermarkets and close to Aptamil, if possible? (Suspected CMPA as of today!) We have been advised to buy “SMA Wysoy” but it seems there are manufacturing issues and so I can’t seem to find anywhere …. Thank u!

I think I've been making my formula bottles wrong and now I feel real mum guilt. I've been boiling the kettle and only leaving it for 5 mins to cool before making a bottle and then popping it in the Nuby. I've read on different websites that you should boil the kettle and leave for up to 30 mins but no less than 2...

that our babies are 5-9 weeks old

Can anyone give me a rough milk/food schedule? I’ve just spoken to my baby’s dietician and she said I’m over feeding my baby as he’s jumped 2 percentiles. I was giving him 7oz 5x a day plus puree. But I need to cut down a bottle apparently. Can I see how much and what you all give your little one ?

My LO is 12months and has 3 bottles a day, morning lunch and before bed. He also has been eating 3 meals a day plus snacks for a few months now. However the last few days he will only drink 2oz from his morning milk feed. He will have breakfast and will continue to have his 2 other bottles in the day. Is this a s...

What size Mam teat are you using for your 7/8 month old?

Hiya! My 10 week old is on 4oz every 4 hours however she not finishing every bottle. Sometimes she goes 6 hours in the night without a feed but she still won’t finish the bottle. However she’s begging for more on a 3oz bottle. Anyone else’s LO like this. She’s on the size 2 mam teats and pace fed

Hey guys! My LO is almost 9 weeks - I was exclusively breastfeeding with a bottle of formula as a night feed until recently when is demand for food was constant and exhausting so decided to pump and bottle feed to know how much he was having! Turns out he’s just a super hungry boy and wants to eat 150/180ml every 2 ...

My little girl has because really hard to feed. She will only take about 2oz of her bottle before she is sleeping and out for the count no matter what we do.. It’s not her teat size as she is on Carobel and is on size 2. Has anyone else had this? She has always been a great wee grubber before and is waking up h...

My 14 week old baby is now sleeping from 7pm - 7am. For the last month or so, he has only woken once for a feed in the night anyway. He is on 7oz every 3 hours throughout the day, now that he is not taking his bottle at night, do I need to increase his milk intake in the daytime?

My little boy is just under three days old, he weighed just under 10lb at birth so we’re struggling to satisfy him with breastfeeding as my milk hasn’t come in. I’ve tried hand expressing and skin to skin, but not getting anywhere so we have been topping him up with formula. For two of his night feeds last night, I ...

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong? When using the nuby rapid cool, the light turns green straight away, but the water is boiling. How are you meant to use it so that it shows amber?

Baby is 14 weeks but on Neocate Syneo, so it’s tough getting him to finish a bottle because the milk is SO terrible (it was described to me as cold mashed potato, after having kendamil whole milk for 2 months 😂) Anyway, he is only drinking between 26-30oz a day, and I’m just worried this isn’t enough for him? Most…

My baby is 2 weeks old and now gets 120ml bottles. Sometimes he will go 3-4 hours between feeds but sometimes he is hungry again sooner. Tonight he had 100ml then just 2 hours later he was giving hunger cue’s so I fed him again and he took a full 120ml. He doesn’t throw any back up after it or anything, he settles w...

Anyone have experience with going through a tongue tie release with your baby? How did it go?

Baby is 14 weeks but on prescription milk, so it’s tough getting him to finish a bottle because the milk is SO terrible (think cold mashed potato, after having kendamil whole milk for 2 months 😂) Anyway, he is only drinking between 26-30oz a day, and I’m just worried this isn’t enough for him? Most guidelines say…

Our little man has had his 8 week vaccinations today so we've started administering Calpol. He spat a lot of it out when I've tried with his last syringe. Google says not to mix it with formula because if they don't finish the bottle, they won't get the full dose, but he never fails to finish a bottle. Has anyone e...
