Formula schedule

Morning mamas. We’ve recently stopped breastfeeding due to biting 🤦‍♀️ LG has been combi fed since birth and was having 2/3 bottles a day already and then BF when needed. My question now is what sort of schedule should I use along with solids? Should she be getting a bottle in the morning before breakfast, as I…

Bottle teat

Do we have to upgrade tests for babies. She’s currently on a 1, dribbles and gulps a lot with a 2. Even when she’s older do we have to upgrade because if she was BF it would be the same flow all the time so why do we have to change the flow with bottles??

How much is too much??

My almost 4 month old drinks 5-6 oz of formula and an hour later is screaming for more I’ll top her off with 3 oz this seems like too much. Thoughts I have a doctor’s appointment soon

So pissed off 😡

My bf just came back from his mums with our daughter. I asked if she finished her milk while they were there and he said there’s still some left but I wouldn’t give it to her as we diluted it with cold water as she was desperate for it at the time. I said wtf you’re not suppose to dilute formula or vice versa - add ...

Baby initially rejecting Nutramigen

My 3 month old son was prescribed Nutramigen last week and I went to give him his first bottle and he gagged and retched and would not take it (I then cried for 2 hours because I was ...

Formula measurements

I’m now exclusively using formula… for other mums doing the same, what measurements are you using & how often? LO is now 11 weeks, she’s on 150ml / 5oz roughly every 4 hours. The formula box says she should be on a little more but other sources say what we are already measuring. Curious what other mamas are doing ? 🤔

Hungry formula

Hello, my baby is 2 weeks old and he is guzzling every drink he has. He is currently on between 4/5 oz (I fill a 5oz but never fully finishes it) every 3.5/4 hrs. I have started to struggle with him going to sleep after a feed and burp so tonight I have bought the hungrier aptamil formula to see if there’s any chang...

Bottle night feeds

I'm thinking of transitioning from breastfeeding to formula for night feeds. How do you manage these in the least disruptive way. Do you make a bottle or warm ready made?

Size teat?

My little girl just turned 4 months old and I've still got her on teat 1, she seemed to start fussing on the bottle last week or two so I did change to teat 2 but she's a guzzler and she kept coughing/choking on the milk. (I pace feed also as she has reflux) so I went back to teat 1, but she's is fussing a lot still...

Kendamil formula not needed

Hi ladies! I have a basically full box of Kendamil formula that I do not need, my wee one only needed one bottle worth as my breast milk hadn’t come in yet and she’s now exclusively on breast milk so it leaves me with this basically full box of Kendamil that we don’t need. 🥰 we just want to see it get used as I…
