Hey there mamas, I’m having a hard time switching my baby from formula to whole milk, I know I don’t really have to, and honestly I didn’t want to give her any milk, she does eat yogurt,cheese and other stuff but I tried to take the morning and night formula bottle (the last left) and she isn’t adjusting well, so I ...

I’ve recently brought a 330ml Mam bottle but can’t find anywhere online which shows how to sterilise it in the microwave? I’ve always sterilised the smaller size bottles in the microwave but the bottom of the bigger size bottles don’t twist off? I’ve searched google and YouTube and can’t find how??

So my prep machine is the bane of my existence right now dispensing the incorrect amount of water when using it. I got it second hand so lesson learned there.

Hi, My LG is currently 10 weeks old on 5-7oz of milk each time. How am I meant to know when to up a teat size? Or if I'm using the right one.

Hello Mums, what do you do/ use when making formula outside when going out?

Currently using mam bottles and my baby is flat out refusing feeds (only having 60/70ml before becoming hysterical). She’s normally polishes off 200-240ml per feed so I’m starting to get a bit worried. She’s showing all of the classic teething signs and we can see 2 white slits on her bottom gums 🥲Are there any…

Due to a recent severe health scare, we are considering switching to formula. So far, my 5 month old is EBF. We've tried to offer her a bottle a couple of times now, and she just flat out refuses. How do we make this transition without starving her until she finally gives in?
