Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Feeding

My son has always loved his milk (and drank a lot of it) we have been weaning since 5.5 months and he has two meals a day but lately It’s a battle trying to get him to drink milk. Anyone else? Any tips? He’s been awake since 6am today and has had one bottle (6oz) and refusing any more. For reference he seems happy i...

I saw a similar post the other day but can’t find it to see comments. My boy when he was first born was a guzzler literally drinking 4 oz from like day 2/3 and then going up to 5oz but last couple of weeks I’ve noticed he doesn’t finish really any of his bottles and takes between 2/3 oz he’s now 8 weeks old. Anyone...

My LO only moved up to 6oz last week but now he keeps putting his hands in his mouth and crying when he’s done as if to say give me more but I know their tummy’s are small and don’t want to over feed him TIA

Is anyone else's baby a milk monster!? My baby is 2 weeks old and always wants more! We pace feed and wind throughout, try distract him afterwards and soothe him but he just screams until he has that little bit more (not all the time). We have been told he requires no more than 2-3 oz for his weight. He is always hu...

So I’m still giving my boy milk in his bottles for morning/night, it’s only just hit me that I should probably get rid of his bottles an use something else, what does everyone else use?

How many times a night are your babies waking up for a bottle in the night? My little one is combination fed and has breast milk at night, however we’re going to transition to full formula as he’s so hungry all the time. He’s waking 3-4 times a night hungry and I’m actually going insane 🥱

My 13 month old has one 6oz bottle first thing and one 9oz bottle before bed. I have no idea how to drop them and he won’t drink milk out of anything other than a bottle. I don’t think he’d even go to bed without a bottle first it’s part of his routine.

Looking to change formula as baby is very gassy & farts all day long & is uncomfortable. Currently use Aptamil. & don’t want to use Kendamil due to the supply issues. Any recommendations?? 🩵 thanks!! x

Hi ladies my son turn 6 months on October 13th. Since last week he’s been refusing to drink anything greater than 4oz. I started solids on him when he was 5 months and he would still drink his milk but now he barely drinks his milk. He used to drink 6-8oz every 3 to 4 hours but now he’s fighting with me and won’t dr...

Since my son has moved into cows milk he’s nearly 13 months now and he has bad stools all the time I did contact the health visitor and told me to bare with or maybe go back to formula but it’s been nearly a month now, he’s fine with yogurts and cheese and stuff like that it’s just since having cows milk it’s not ag...

How can a SAHM adjust to their growing toddler without losing your mind!? My son was so easy before toddlerhood. And I expected a bumpy ride, but he is just driving my patience crazy. He's picky, barely eating, and doesn't want to listen much. Yes, all to be expected. My question is, how do I, as a mom, stay focused...

Hi ladies When are you planning on taking the bottle away. My first son hated bottles and got rid of his own his own when he was about 13-14 months old. My son now only has a night bottle and drinks his milk in the morning from a cup. Idk when typically the bottle goes away.

What sterilisation methods are we thinking of doing for bottles/dummies? There are so many different techniques!! I think I’m going to use the Milton cold water steriliser but would love to know if there are easier ways to sterilise

Yall my boys are 2 weeks old. Theyre not at their birth weight so we have to go back for another appointment in a couple days. They say they should be eating 2-3 oz each feed. I am frustrated because it takes each baby about 45 mins to eat an ounce. I am wasting so much breast milk and once they've had and once and ...

How many cans of formula are you going through every week?

Anyone else found this? I have 8 bottles with size 1 teats for my 2 week old and some tests let milk out super fast and it chokes him and some don’t, if I tip the bottle of milk upside down it leaks out some teats but not all - they are all size 1 so I don’t get why? I’ve been wondering why some feeds are difficult ...

How many oz/feeds in a day and how much solids are they having?

I have always given my son a bottle right before bed then put him straight down but I heard people saying we shouldn’t be doing that. What’s the best thing to do?

Anyone know where I can get kendamil organic or whole milk it’s been out for weeks and down to my last can 😫

Does anyone possibly have any spare please? My GP isn't keen on prescribing it but I don't really want to waste the formula we have for the night feeds....
