Not sure if this is a stupid question Been weaning our 7 month old for a little while now and she’s been eating absolutely fine and drinking water. She used to drink 210ml bottles (7oz) between solids however she now won’t even finish her 180ml (6oz) bottles. When weaning do you lower the formula consumption ...

Hi all My little boy is on cow and Gate formula. He is 3 months old now and suffers from reflux. He has been on gaviscon since he was 6 weeks old but he's still sick after most feed and can still keep being sick for hours after his feed. Im thinking now that he could be intolerant to the formula. Has anyone had...

Any other mums that are feeding formula just turn the kettle on as soon as they walk into the kitchen. Not even to make a bottle.. even if it’s just to put some shopping away, or load the dishwasher or to get a snack. I always, always, turn the kettle on even if I’m not making him a bottle. Habit?

Hey, I’m 33 weeks pregnant now due end of April when did everybody sterilise baby’s bottles and dummies ready for them? x

We’re just starting to switch from ready made formula to powder and we’ve bought the nuby rapid cooler and flask to do the hot shot method. Currently my baby has 5 oz. Do we leave 1oz of boiling water in the bottle to do the hot shot with and pour 4oz into the rapid cooler? I’m worried about not having enough boili...

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

Is refusing formula a sign she doesn’t want botes anymore? My Lo screams when she sees the bottle of milk. Anyone had similar?

Hey ladies my daughter is currently 4 months, she is going to be 5 months in 2 weeks. She has been on aptamil formula since birth the first infant formula. Since she had her 2nd vaccinations when she was 3 and half months she developed severe colic and constipation. She also had some symptoms of acid reflux. I hav...

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?

We have recently been in hospital and he was on a ng tube as he wouldn’t drink more than 1oz and they started him on Neocate which he has started to take too but he is only drinking 50ml every 3 hours and he is 5 weeks old anyone else’s baby like this The hospital don’t want him drinking below 50ml and I’m findin...

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
