My little one has been on size one teats for a while and I started to notice her sleeping on the bottle so have moved her up to size two today. She seems to be struggling, spilling a lot out of the side of her mouth etc but is taking the bottle much faster and is actually taking the full 6oz. Is this just her get...

Did you find it easier going from 0-1, or 1-2?

Hi mums, my LB is 16 months and for the last few days he has been refusing his morning and evening bottles (we still use bottles at these times as I’m cautious of fluid intake and like to know he’ll sit and drink it for me, uses a 360 cup for water during the day) he usually takes 6oz in morning and anywhere from 7 ...

So we bought the pitcher to pre mix formula and have been mixing it wrong for about a week. It’s 36oz. We accidentally did 36 oz x 8.7g. Not remembering the 8.7g is for 2oz NOT 1oz. Essentially we’ve been giving baby double the formula that he needs. Thankfully we realized sooner than later but I’m worried a...

Those that are formula feeding and have around a 6 week old what is your routine with feeding? Going to be moving to formula fed and no idea what times to give bottles as there has been no routine with BF as LO was on me constantly. And if you have Tommee Tippee bottles what size teet are you using? Ps. If the pe...

We’ve been switching from expressed milk to formula and I’m a bit worried I’m over feeding baby now as everything online says up to 6oz 5x per day. I’ve now reduced from 6 feeds to 5 as we were always playing catch up in the evening but as reduced number of feeds I’ve increased the size from 6oz to 7oz. I think ...

Anyone also had this problem with mam bottles? I've got the 260ml bottles with size 2 teats and I noticed when my lb was feeding the milk just wasn't going down and when I've tested the teat it seems like it's blocked? I've cleaned them thoroughly but the milk just seems to slowly drip out of them even when I squeez...

As embarrassing as it is. I still feed him the bottle and he just doesn't want to hold it himself?? Any ideas to encourage him?

What age did your baby go to size 2 tommie tippie teats? And what are the signs to change the teats- My boys 4 months next week

Hey guys! I’ve just switched from EBF to pumping and feeding via bottle - just because the demand was so high and it was stressing me out not knowing how much milk he was having! He’s now having approx 120-150ml every 2/3 hours and sometimes needs topping up from the boob! Is this too much? He’s 8 weeks and I’m foll...

Anyone else have a 14+ month old and still use formula? I didn’t buy another tub in this weeks shop an now I’m having anxiety. I definitely have an attachment issue with formula as I’ve given in and bought another tub this morning as I panicked when I saw the tub empty. 😭😩😖

I know they’re self sterilising in the microwave but does anyone sterilise MAM bottles in the Tommee Tippee UV steriliser?

My son will be 19 months when baby #2 arrives. Any and all advice is welcome. What worked for you, what didn't work, things to buy, things to not waste money on, etc. 💕

My LO is 12 weeks old and been exclusively BFd with one bottle expressed a day that my husband gives to give me more sleep. However, the pressure of pumping is getting to me and I feel less present with baby every morning. I also noticed that he doesn’t sleep long after the expressed bottle, meaning it’s probably no...

homemade carrot puree & natural grape juice

LO is 2 weeks old and way above birth weight. We’re responsive feeding and on average LO needs a feed every 2 hours. Is this normal? We keep reading (and hoping) it should be more 3-4 hours in between feeds. The whole feed, change and settle process takes about an hour so it’s then not long before his next feed ...

How are you making your weetabix for your babies? Are you mixing it with cows milk, breastmilk/formula, water? I’m ebf and struggle to pump enough to mix with weetabix. He doesn’t like formula. Water seems a bit gross and he seems too young for cows milk.

my boy is still having 8/ 9 ounces before his midday nap and then milk always before bed. is this normal still or am I offering too much ? if so how did you cut this down ?

I’m talking newborn to about 1 year old. How easy were they compared to each other?

Does anyone give their baby Lactolose and find pouring it into the tiny measuring cup impossible to get the right measurement as it’s such a small amount you need? We decided to put a Calpol stopper into the bottle which does fit but not completely so it leaks when I tip it upside down to fill the syringe and goes a...
