I AM SO CONFUSED! Please tell me what you are doing with cows milk if your baby has turned one? So my little one was on two formula feeds a day, I swapped these to cows milk when she turned one. She didn’t like a cup even though she loves her water from a cup, so I got a slightly more grown up bottle (lol) still a ...

Hi mamas, apologies if this has been posted and discussed here before! I’ve just started combi feeding my lo and heard/read good things about Kendamil. Problem is the formula powder for first stage (cow/pink) is sold out absolutely everywhere! Is it always this hard to find gold? 😅

Are you still giving your toddler’s milk before bed? If so, how much? And if not, how did you wean them off? My toddler still drinks a good 240ml of cows milk in a toddler bottle and in bed after brushing his teeth. I cant see cutting this out going well for bedtime. He’s already waking up loads and sometimes bedw...

So I've been EBF and my supply has tanked, I'm super stressed with going back to work and she also bit me the other day which has got to me mentally, scared she's going to do it again! Anyway!

In other news. I’m so proud of my daughter. She is very adaptable. From sleeping in the toddler bed to weaning from the pacifier in one night. This makes me realize that she is truly growing up so fast. 🥹 Last week was full of big girl transitions. ✨

I’ve been exclusively expressing milk and feeding my 12 week old baby via a bottle since they were born, and I’ve decided to transition to formula in the new year due to the physical and mental load of expressing. I’m aware the guidance is to make formula bottles up as you go, but I want to make things as easy as p...

Hi Mamas! My LO has fiiiiiinally accepted a bottle at 9m after about 7m of refusing, and a kitchen cupboard of 8 different bottles we’ve tried on rotation 🤣🥳 What size teat would you recommend at her age? She’s taken 0/extra slow as that’s what initially came with the bottle and we have in the house, but she’s…

Hi, My little one is taking just under 3oz of formula per feed and I’ve been using ready made bottles for this. However I’m running out and wanting to use my prep machine but they only go as low as 4oz. How do any of you go about this with babies that aren’t drinking 4oz just yet?
