My little one will be 7 weeks on Monday, slightly confused based on the feeding amounts on the aptamil box. So between 8 weeks and 4 months a baby is meant to eat the same amount?

So I’ve been thinking about this and I am now beyond over thinking this. Do you could the oz as how it’s prepared. Ie 7 scoops. 7oz or the actual amount in the bottle? As when adding the formula increases the bottle to just over 8oz. Eg do I count oz consumed after formula made so if I make a 7oz bottle which is ...

Has anyone not started BLW yet and is still giving purées? I’ve tried soo many times to start it but my anxiety gets the best of me

Does anyone give there baby more at the last feed of the day? My baby is currently 7 weeks and is on 4 oz per feed but if I do 5 oz on the last feed will this help him sleep for a longer period?

I know they say the amount of breast milk you give your baby may not change bc your milk changes but I feel like I don’t know how much I should be feeding my 4.5 month old. I’m exclusively pumping and currently giving him 5, 5oz bottles during the day. The last bottle is half formula and 5.5oz.

Up to now I have been expressing breast milk whilst attempting to get my boy onto the breast. I’m currently having to introduce some formula for some feeds as due to some stress in my life my milk supple has diminished. I’m struggling to get my head around how many feeds and when/what each day. I was told I couldn’t...

This morning my husband fed the baby before work and told me we're low on formula so just text him when I'm up again and he'll doordash more to us (I don't drive). I get up later and feed the baby the rest of what was left and then text him to "Send it" and all he replies is "No". I say "Wtf? Why are you telling me ...

Just bought this bottle steriliser second-hand and... Is this limescale, or dried milk/formula? Doesn't look as bad as it did when I started cleaning it, but does anyone have any advice on how to clean this off? This is the electrical base so I don't want to introduce any liquids if I can help it

Hi my 8mo is tube fed and nil by mouth, he is constantly pulling out his tube 2-3 times a day and i am trained to place it again but obviously struggle to when my partners at work, we are in the uk and ive found the tapes to stick it down are useless, any recommendations?

Hi guys, I’ve recently started pumping to top up baby because of his weight loss since birth and my partner has taken over the sterilising of things whilst I pump and recover from my C-section. Unfortunately, I’ve realised today he’s sterilising things then touching them so for therefore, counteracting the sterili...

Any good bottle warmer please?

Do you need to sterilise cups and plates etc when weaning baby?

So my almost 4 month old spits up ALOT and I’m hoping it’s something he out grows soon. Anyway, it says the next nipple size for him should be changed at 3 months and I tried and it was making him spit up more. Should I just keep the smaller size until he outgrows the spitting up?

Hiya everyone, I’m having my 2nd baby in April and we used tommee tippee bottles with my first and looking at using them again but looking online and the only ones I can seem to find are all anti colic ones.

How many ounces of milk should a 6 month old baby be generally having in a 24 hour period?

My little boy is one and I'm really struggling to reduce his bottles, he has 4 during the day and sometimes 1 at night (5oz). I just can't get him to eat much or drink milk from any other cup (he'll drink water from this straw cup but not milk). Has anyone else struggled?!

For all the formula mummy’s out there, how many ozs is your baby having? I have a 7 week old and he has around 5-6 oz every 3 hours? ( sometimes sooner, sometimes longer )

Hey, my LO is currently 8 months old. Just wondering how long would be the best age gap before having another? He’s just started sleeping through so not thinking of trying yet but would like to know peoples opinions!

Does anyone have any advice on how to prepare a 2.5yr old boy for the incoming for a sibling? 😅 He is a very clingy and energetic little thing, I think he will find it quite hard. He doesn’t understand what a brother or sister is yet. Does anyone have any book recommendations, or ways to explain what is going…
