Hi everyone, not sure what I’m after… we’re currently triple feeding due to baby not gaining back his birth weight. So we’re breast feeding, topping up formula and then expressing… I’m super worried about the impact on my supply and just keeping increasing formula until my breast milk has no chance of ever catching ...

My LO is having 4oz every 2-3 h at 8 w and I’m thinking when to change the bottle teats, I have the slow ones but I was thinking to change to medium flow, or maybe is too soon? She is always falling asleep and sometimes doesn’t finish her bottles

Is it normal that my baby has gone from drinking 900ml a day to 500-600ml since I began weaning her? She only has some banana porridge in the morning & then fruit purées around lunchtime, finishes them both & drinks 500-600ml of formula throughout the day, l've tried giving her more but she doesn't want to drink it....

Hi, my little girl is suspected to have CMPA due to a lack of weight gain over the last 3 months and a flare up of eczema. I’ve heard that Nutramigen is quite bitter in taste. She’s 7 months next week so she’s used to her formula. She also hasn’t started weaning as she keeps pushing out food. Any suggestions please ...

My little one is 3 weeks 3 days old and he is just so hungry, he is taking 6oz every 3 hours but I’ve just had to give him a 7oz bottle because we’ve been up since 3 with him crying and rooting for a bottle. I just don’t know what to do

My baby is 6 weeks old on Monday.. she’s currently having 120ml formula for each feed but completely clearing it off and still rooting for more food after, crying and just not settling at all… can I up this to 150ml or even more for each feed? (we are doing around 8 feeds a day) I’m just worried about overfeeding fo...

Baby is just over 5 months old and is suddenly the last few days just not as interested in his milk (bottle fed), and is taking much less. He’d usually take around 200ml 5/6 times a day now it’s like 100-150. So I know he’s still getting enough but he’s usual mad for milk! He is well, having wet and dirty nappies, a...

How much formula are you giving your 1 year olds? Mine just turned 1 and has significantly dropped her milk intake. She used to have 3 bottles (150-200mls each) a day and now won’t even get through 1 bottle a day!

Hi all! I have an 8 week old baby girl. She’s as sweet as can be, but I’m ready for the lump phase to be over! We’ve only had a couple smiles so far that I think were purposeful but it’s hard to tell. She’s starting to pay attention to more things but she’s still not visually tracking much and I can barely get her t...

What am I doing wrong?😭 I just can’t find a comfy position to feed LB in - my back always hurts or my forearm is on fire holding his head up! LB is only 5 weeks so he’s only going to get bigger! Please someone advise! I really want to enjoy the feeding process😣

When giving formula to your baby how do it reduce or decrease your milk supply?

How are people sterilising the Dr Brown bottles?

My prep machine is pissing me tf off! Every now and then it decides to dispense the wrong amount of water after I've added powder to the hot shot. And I'm not talking like a little bit I'm talking like 2+ ounces extra. I'm only making a 4oz bottle but it's filling it up past to 6oz or more which is obviously not sa...

How often and how much does your baby drink? Mine will have from 3.5 ish- 4oz every 2 hours is this normal? I’m worried I’m over feeding maybe. On the odd occasion he will have 5oz then go a bit longer maybe 3-4 hours without a feed. But won’t take 5oz every feed

It kind of feels like a huge waste of money, but does anyone have any good recommendations for a portable bottle warmer? I don’t want my son to be dependent on his bottles always always being warm, but he just hates them so much when they’re cold and this is hard when we are out of the house.

Il be going out for the day soon what's the best way to make bottles on the go?

If you formula fed baby, which do you recommend.. can’t decide what to get between the two

How much and how often do your 4 months old feed? We do 6 x 180 ml (she doesn’t always finish them) 5am (she goes back to sleep till 8am) 9am 12pm 3pm 6pm And final one at 8:30 for sleep at 9pm Asking as thinking to maybe drop the 5am feed and move her bedtime as she’s always asleep through it but she will always dr...

My babies got moved into this to trial CMPA. It’s so watery, what size teats are you all using? Also how did your babies do on the new formula?

I use mam bottles and we are just starting to take 5/6oz, which means going to the bigger bottles. How many do you have? I have 13 because I want to wash them once at the end of the day.
