How are we doing with transitioning to milk? We are on day 2 and we used to do oatmeal in the bottle to help baby girl with GERD and we've slowly transitioned away but she's always had soft/ Liquid #2s. We are only giving her an ounce of milk per 4oz of formula and it's only day 2 and she is in pain and struggles to...

Does anyone use this? Just looking into formulas for when I have my 2nd. I used apatamil with her but for £14.50 a tub 🫣. SMA little steps is like £7

Anyone else have a 2nd child with a 2 year age gap? If so; how did you find it when you first became a mum to 2. How was your little one with your new baby? Does it get easier? Did your toddlers behaviour seem to get worse after baby arrived? I’m terrified that life’s going to feel this way forever and I must have...

Is everyone using the hot shot method? Am I okay to just heat the water up in the Nuby and poor it into the bottle with formula in without using the extra flask of cooled water? This is how it says to do it on the Nuby website however everyone seems to be using the hot shot method?

Please help a confused ftm out. I’m aware adding the formula adds to the volume of the bottle, but when making a 5oz bottle obviously it’s 5oz of water, but then the liquid goes up to 5.5oz, does this mean she’s drinking 5oz or 5.5oz ?

Who is still giving formula? My baby boy eats well but loves his milk. He breastfeeds and enjoys formula. I feel bad taking it away, they are still so small. Is anyone in the same boat?

Anyone got any spare tins? LG was prescribed it Tuesday. Called Drs Friday and they've given us a bigger prescription but no where has it in stock. The original tin will run out before I can call drd on Monday. X

Would you prepare a bottle with boiled water from a restaurant or pub kettle? I'm having a long day out, and I don't think I can take all the water with me. I'm not sure what I should do!

I want something to put formula in because the ones they come in just stand out like a sore thumb! Something like the picture, any suggestions??

Can someone explain the reasoning behind locking up formula??

So my little girl is 13 weeks now, she doesn’t consistently drink the same amount on every bottle. Some bottles she drinks 6oz, some 5oz and some 4oz, is this something to worry about or is it perfectly normal? She always has the amount of ml for her age everyday but she just isn’t consistent with the oz on every bo...

Has anyone transitioned to just two bottles a day yet?

When did people go from size 0 to size 1 mam teats?

Ok so PLEASE DONT COME AT ME, I’m at my wits end and it’s affecting my mental health so much. My baby has CMPA and severe acid reflux and is in high dose omeprazole and has been for 9 weeks now. (He is 14 weeks old currently). His CMPA milk is good for him but way too thin and we’ve tried different bottles, teats, g...

So my son does not care what temp he gets along as he can drink it , and he don't realy mind anything about if it just came out the frigid , room temp or warm . So im wondering if you Littles have a preferred temp for their milk (formula / breast milk temp )

How do you encourage baby to hold their own bottle whilst feeding? My girl can grasp the sides but doesn’t understand it needs to be tilted upright on an angle for the milk to flow, which is fair enough obviously. We use mam 260ml capacity bottles

Hello! I’m considering expressing and introducing a bottle over the next couple of weeks. Anyone who has experience with this, if you’re going out and about do you fill a sterilised bottle beforehand with milk or would you take the bottle and pouch of expressed milk out separately? Also how do we know how much milk ...

Hi, does anyone know if these MAM bottles can be sterilised in the microwave and if so how? As it doesn’t have the base like the other ones :)

Hiya! My little one is 3 weeks old tomorrow. Has been combo fed (expressed and formula). Has about 2/3 bottles of formula a day and would drinking anything from 60-120ml. Maybe 1 4oz a day but would be satisfied. This was only because the prep machine makes a minimum 4oz also. With expressed milk would generally dr...
