Small EBF babies

Hiya, Anyone else have a small baby? My little boy is on 3rd centile (weighing 4.6kg at 10 weeks). He is EBF and I’m not keen on introducing formula. We saw a paediatrician today (referred by the GP after his 8-weeks check up as he had fallen a few centiles). He said he’s healthy but I need to try and pump to introd...

Time out of the house

What’s the longest you guys have gone out with your babies? My son will be 15 weeks this Sunday and I still have anxiety about going out longer than 2 hours 😅 anxiety from how we’re supposed to manage timing of preparing the bottles, how to make them last and how to prepare bottles if you’re out without a kettle.…

Pushchair

So we had mold on our pushchair (probably due to a leak my partner had in old car) so I cleaned it all with distilled white vinegar which I’ve seen a lot about cleaning mold with vinegar but now the issue is even after I’ve washed it all down with warm soapy water it smells like a fish and chip shop🤣 I’m going to…

Baby Number 2?

Increasing formula?

Baby is 14 weeks old and is crying after every 6oz bottle and seems to be hungry bang on 3 hours, sometimes a bit before. Would you increase to 7oz? He’s draining every bottle. Currently weighs 12lb 9

Help help help

Please tell me there is a easier way to prep bottles on a morning , this is giving me anxiety. I have to boil the kettle every morning and wait 30 mins before I can prep bottles for the day and then they only last so long out the fridge so can’t plan a day out without worrying if I have enough milk ! Surely ther...

Sterilising dummies and bottles

Hi all, if my little one has a dummy in his pram and spits it out etc, is it ok to put back into a travel case and then give it back to him when he wants it when we're out (on the same day), or does it need to be re-sterilised each time? Similarly, if a bottle has been sterilised, can you use it e.g. a week after ...

Formula?

Hey! I'm planning to breastfeed, but as we all know, it doesn't always go to plan, unfortunately! So I was wondering what formula people are going to be using? I used SMA with my first and second, but want to try different this time. I was thinking Aptamil but I'm not sure.

Calpol dosage

Just looking for opinions. The dosage goes up at 2yrs old from 5ml to 7.5ml. My little one is really tall and wearing age 2-3 already. It takes up to an hour for Calpol to kick in at the moment. Does the dosage change go on size or physical development? To be clear, I haven’t given 7.5ml, just asking!
