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

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

My son is 4 months old, when did your hormones go back to normal? I’m over here crying over the new greys anatomy episode.

Completely aware my little one is only 10 months, but I'm just looking ahead. How do we do the transitioning to cows milk from formula? Should we stop formula by the age of 1 or before or after? I've heard people say, if you're making an 7oz bottle for example, add maybe 5oz formula and 2oz cows milk and change it b...

Does anyone else struggle to get the bottles clean with prescription milk we find we have to wash them atlest 3 times before all the residue is gone. Wondering if anyone has any better methods?

My little one is nearly 15 weeks. He used to feed every 2.5/3 hours on the dot but lately he will eat at 7am ish and won’t have another bottle till 3.30 ish. He isn’t screaming for a bottle but I realise that’s a long time without a feed. For reference he is on 6oz

I feel like my baby is small he is 9 month he barely drink his milk I started adding cerelac cereal to his milk and I think over all he likes it but it’s making him drink less of the formula over all . I’m frustrated honestly cuz I feel like I’m doing something wrong but he’s literally small for his age visually

My little one is on tommee tippee size one (she’s 8 weeks) but she gets so frustrated mid feed and bites down on the teat, she will take a little while to feed and will often fall asleep and so I think this shows she needs a faster flow teat, but having tried the vari flow and size 2, she seems to cough quite a lot,...

Ya’ll baby is a week old today, and I’m already tired of washing bottles, so many pieces with the Dr.Brown bottles. Does anyone put them in the dishwasher? Do they need a special dishwasher pod?

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...
