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...

So, I don't sterilise anything other than babies bottles and now that he's 8 months I'm thinking of stopping sterilising them. I mean, he drinks tap water and I don't sterilise anything! Has anyone else stopped sterilising bottles?

Hi just curious as to how many bottles your 11 month old are having now and how many ounce in each? Also if you've started the transition onto cows milk yet , I'm thinking of using the cravingdale one with the added vitamins in :) thanks xx

Hello! I want to try combi feeding our little girl so that my partner can also take some of the pressure off night feeds. Does anyone have any experiences of doing this? I'm worried that it might mean she only wants the bottle and so any advice/experiences welcome!

Hi all, I was told early post partum by a breast feeding specialist that babies on expressed milk would only need 120-130ml per feed. My LO has always been really good at sleep but has recently started to wake wanting more feeds in the night and I’m wondering if it’s because he might not be getting enough in the day...

Goat milk formula recommendation that isn’t Kendamil?

Can we wash mam bottles and electric pump parts in dishwasher and then sterilise?

So last night my 4 week old started taking so much milk, she’s on 5oz, but started wanting more an hour later and did the same through the night! Just constantly kept wanting more, I hardly had any sleep! Tonight she’s started the same just wanting more and more but not slowing or showing signs she’s full! And start...

The instructions said to make sure it’s open after sterilising and washing but I threw the box away. How do I do this? It’s just. Little bit in the teat but I’m so confused how to make sure it’s open I’ve just pressed it together but it doesn’t look any different?

Is anyone else’s 5 week old drinking 4-5oz per feed..?

Can I ask what everybody’s 4/5month olds are like for a schedule with their formula feeds? My girl is all over the place at the moment. She’s only taking around 23oz a day which HV said according to her weight she should be more like 30oz but as she seems fine, she’s just going to monitor her growth more closely for...

Hi all I combi feed and have noticed my baby has more of an allergy or intolerance to my breast milk then he does to formula. He gets slight hives/rash not very noticeable but because I’m so close to his face all the time I see it and he seems to spit up more and farts There’s dairy in his formula so wondering wha...

My little one is 6 weeks old now, and I've noticed she’s taking a bit longer to finish her bottle lately! Depending on her mood, she drinks anywhere from 60 to 120 ml. She often nods off while feeding also. Any tips? Thank you!
