I’m still giving my little boy a bottle of milk in the morning and evening. It’s definitely time to move away from his bottle with a teat. Does anyone have any recommendations of what to use instead?

How old is your little one and how much do they weigh? Mines 10 weeks and is 12lbs 12oz. I’m worries she’s over feeding. She’s on 6oz of formula and used to go 4ish hours now she’s 2.5-3hrs.

Does anyone feel overwhelmed by sterilising? Where do you store bottles once sterilised? And what is the best method? Xo

Hey ladies! Anyone's LO dairy free during the weaning process due to a potential CMPA? What milk are you using to make food apart from their formula (my LO hates his formula and I can't express anymore so I'm struggling for ideas). Any suggestions would be really helpful x

I have a few questions if anyone can help please What type of container are you using to store the formula in? How do you sterilise the container as it will be quite large Can you put the hot formula straight in the fridge to cool?

How long was your little one on the size 0 teat? I’ve just ordered some more size0 teats for my LGs extra bottles that came with a size2 teat, but I’m just wondering how long most babies use 0 for? My LG is 5 weeks so I think she will be on them for a while.

Weaning baby of breastfeeding, so she will have one night time formula feed, any tricks that’s save boiling the kettle up and waiting for it to cool, she likes her milk fairly warm

I might be silly but I assumed as babies got bigger they would need more milk but I have read online that you should reduce the volume of formula at 3-6months. My baby is 14 weeks old and around 17lb (8kg) and currently on 180ml (6oz) per feed and has anything from 5-7 fees per day but according to google that’s t...

Why is my 3month old not taking my milk (bf) during the day , he seems to also throw it up or not want to be latched or fight me to stay on it but in the night he seems fine to eat.

Hey guys I need formula recommendations. We recently moved my 13 week old LB onto cow and gate formula and it’s made him constipated and only going once every two days, his poo is green and thick and seems like he’s struggling. Any recommendations on how to help this or any better formulas

And why? (I know it's always asked but whatever lol)

Hi all, how much ML and how many feeds a day is your baby currently having - alongside weaning?

Has anyone had one of these and found them worth buying? I’m looking at the dr brown one as I’ve got dr brown bottles, is it worth the money or just a gimmick?

When weaning/feeding solids should we sterilise the baby’s utensils spoons etc?

I’m so excited for our first baby but I’m only 4.5 weeks along. When do you think it’s considered “safe” to start buying baby things?

My baby is 11 weeks old on Friday and she’s currently on 6oz, she finishes the bottle every feed and I get the impression she wants more when she finishes. I was going to put her up to 7oz until I read on the formula she needs to be at least 16 lb to go onto 7. She’s 13lb at the moment. Any advice?

I’ve hand washed my pump parts with warm soapy water and a brush. I make sure all the soaps removed and then place them in a sterilising bag in the microwave. I seem to always get what seems like milk residue at the bottom of the bottles. Is there something I’m doing wrong or is this just normal residue?

Good morning, We are currently working on getting my little boy off his NG tube (has been on it since November when he was admitted with RSV bronchitis, hand foot and mouth & tonsillitis). The past week we have made a big improvement when it comes to taking milk from a sippy cup which has made me so so proud! My...

If I was to add formula into some fruit purées, can they be frozen still?

Getting confused on which one I should be using and when I try and research I get such different answers. Some people say just use 1 for the whole 12 months, some say switch to 2 once your baby is regularly eating solids and other say switch as soon as they turn 6 months. Does anyone have any advice or knowledge o...
