Milton cold water steriliser

I have recently purchased a Milton cold water steriliser. My question is can I continue to add bottles, BF equipment to the solution within the 24 hours after dropping the tablet in to sterilise the equipment? I have too much to sterilise so was thinking it would be easier to do it in batches, taking things out af...

How often does your baby feed???

Mine is 5 months old & still wants to feed every 2/3 hours.. only has 4 oz bottles I would love to make the hours longer and the bottle oz bigger .. I just don’t know how to start as she’s in a rhythm 🤦🏻‍♀️ But this also means she wakes up regularly during the night! So I need to change something

Milk.

Does anyone have any recommendations on how to get LOs to drink milk? My LO is 15 months and will not drink milk anymore, he’ll have it with cereal but just won’t entertain drinking it now.

How many ml should a 5 month old be drinking a day?

My wee boy has for the past 3 nights now slept right through missing his 4am feed. So he is having a 6oz feed around every 4 hours during the day. Is that enough for him?

Stigma around baby bottles

Can I ask what the reason is people want their babies off having their milk in MAM or Tommee Tippee bottles? Is there something I’m missing? My little girl still uses one for her milk and I didn’t think it was a problem until now, are there any negative effects of still using these bottles?

How much is everyone’s formula fed baby taking?

I think I have a hungry baby? She’s on 210ml every 2.5 -3 hours but sometimes goes longer. She’s never really finishes her bottles but I upped it because I was finding she’d want more just an hour later on 180ml We are getting longer stretches in the night now though and she only feeds once, if at all. Now she’s set...

First time mum, sterilising question!

I’m currently trying to decide how I will sterilise baby’s stuff. I’m thinking of using the Milton cold water steriliser as it seems the best. I’m aware you can make up and it lasts for 24 hours. Questions.. Can you leave stuff in there and take it out as and when you want to use it? Can you make a bottle straight ...

Baby drinking way less than before?

My baby is 8 weeks on Friday. For his first 6-7 weeks of life he was insanely greedy. I exclusively pump so he drinks bottled breast milk. He always used to drink easily 4 Oz and sometimes want 5 or more. He would almost never turn milk down if you offered it as well! But the past week or so he’s been decreasing ...

Milk/food

Milk has massive reduced since weaning. He is not interested in milk at all and I’m struggling to get 3 full bottles a day down him. Anyone else experiencing the same? He just prefers food! I just worry he isn’t getting enough fluid because he isn’t keen on water either

How many oz to feed?

On the kendamil instructions do you go by weight of baby or age of baby as my baby is 14lb but only 6weeks old? He's currently on 5oz or 150ml but I do feel like if I offered more he would take it but it says 180ml is for a 4-5 month old but it lines up with his weight so I'm not sure. Would 6oz be too much for a 6 ...
