How have you transitioned from breastfeeding to formula? Any tips? My Lo drinks a little formula during day from a sippy cup but otherwise relies on breast to help sleep etc.

Hi all, I have a KIT day at work tomorrow and it will be the first day my baby has a full day of bottles (mostly breastfed usually with the occasional bottle). Could people please share a rough schedule of bottle feeds through the day please? She usually feeds every 2-3 hours so will it be the same? She'll be having...

My daughter is 1 next week and on 3 bottles of 9oz formula. The paediatrician said today this is too much and should aim for 18/20oz instead as this might be reason why shes such a poor eater. This is worth a try as we really struggle on getting her to eat but dont know how to cut her bottles the best way as she wil...

So I’ve been trying to pump and freeze my milk so I can go back to work but I only produce what she eats. So I’ve tried giving her formula so I can freeze some of my milk but every time I do she throws up everything. I’ve tried by heart formula and that one made her throw up for two days and all she had was 2 ounce...

Like it's just not fair.

How much formula are your 3ish month olds having in a 24 hour period?? Mine is barely touching 20oz and she’s fighting bottles 😭

Do they have special equipment or a microwave? I am not sure how to sterilise the bottles after the baby is born.

Hi all, my baby girl is 5.5 weeks currently. Initially she was EBF but then we introduced a top feed as she wasn’t gaining on weight. We have continued the bottle now on top of breastfeeding but we give to her on demand. Any ideas for how much we should increase the amount by? Currently I feed her 10-20 min each sid...

How much see you little ones drinking in a 24hr period? My boy is being soooo fussy on bottles 😭

Heya, I feel bad my 13 month old is still on formula. I gave him milk once and he was awake crying until midnight so I was worried he had an intolerance and stopped. Do you all heat the milk when you give it? How long for? And do how much do you give? My boy loves formula and would drink 6/7oz. Thank you

My LO is on formula. How do you know the right temp for babies milk? My OH has no idea, I've tried explaining it to him a few times over some months, but I think I'm not saying it right so he's still unsure. Any suggestions please? How do you describe the right temp?

Mine loves his milk and currently struggling 😭 he’s also not a great eater

Sadly my breastfeeding journey has come to an end 😢 My little guy is about 14 weeks and I am completely dried up. It’s devastating but I have to move my focus now to finding the right formula for him so he can continue to meet his nutritional needs. He seems to have CMPA (as evidenced by mucus in poo, diarrhea,…

Hey mamas, how many ounces & how often do you feed your babies? Currently my daughter is 2 months, eating 4 oz, every 2 hours. I try to keep her at a minimum of up to 32oz of formula per day. I feel like that’s good but my family makes me feel like I’m starving her 😭
