Bottle nipple cleaning

I haven’t been washing the silicone nipple separately from the plastic top that screws into the actual bottle - I’ve been keeping them intact. All the videos I see on TikTok moms are separating them before washing. I feel dumb for not following suit, I just figured they could stay in the screw-in part. Am I the on...

no reduce in milk at all

My 15mo has not reduced the amount of milk he wants a day at all in months. He’s sinking 10-11oz after breakfast, & the same before bed. Sometimes wants a bottle in the afternoon too. Still waking for 1x 8-9ox in the night. He eats his 3 meals well, and constantly snacking throughout the day. Is this a lot?

Cows milk

Has anyone else struggled to transition to cows milk? My little boy will take it no issue what so ever, but it literally just goes straight through him! I’ve tried giving it just cows milk, I’ve tried mixing with his formula and both just got through him! Literally within minutes!! But he can eat things with dairy ...

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...

16 month milk

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 ...

Formula Screw Up - Help

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...

How much formula 20 weeks?

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 ...

MAM bottles

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...

Eating too much?

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...
