My little girl (8w) has never managed to go more than two hours between feeds. Unless she's asleep on a walk or in the night she is screaming for a bottle sometimes as early as 1h45 after the start of her last one. The gp recommended smaller bottles to help with her reflux (hasn't helped) and overall less intake, ...

Is anyone else’s baby dropping their milk? My LO is 8 months and is doing brilliantly with his solids, loves food but I’m fully aware it shouldn’t be replacing his milk. Since he’s started solids he’s slowly reducing his milk intake. He was on 5 bottles a day and doing between 8-9oz, he’s now on 3-4 bottles a day, ...

At what age are you forward facing the pram? I still have our girl facing me at 8 months. I love being able to see her and talk to her. I don't think I'm ready yet but she's nosey so might like it.

Can I mix formula and Breastmilk together in one bottle? My LO is exclusively breastfed but I am weaning him onto formula and everytime I offer him the kendamil goat formula he gags and rejects. Just a thought, can I mix with Breastmilk in one bottle if so what should the ratio of BM be to formula?

So we have always used mam bottles and sterilised them in the microwave as they are self sterilising. My LB is currently using the 260ml bottles but will need to size up to the 360ml bottle soon. The ones we have now barely fit in our microwave (height wise) so I know the 360ml ones won’t fit. Any recommendations o...

Out little girl is 5 months and nearly 19lbs. She’s been on 5 bottles of 180ml for a while and feeling we need to increase. Just wondered anyone who’s baby is of similar age and weight how much you’re giving? Thanks!

My 10 week old up until this point very rarely bought milk back up after a feed, 2/3 times a week perhaps he’d bring up a tiny little bit, but today he brought quite a bit of milk back up after almost every feed. The only thing that’s really changed is I’ve started to express a bit every day, & he’s had a bottle ye...

Hey mamas! My 12 week old has had a sudden decrease in his milk intake for the past week. I thought it was just a growth spurt but it’s been a week and now I’m worried. He takes 3oz happily then I have to keep giving him breaks to atleast get to 4/5ozas it’s very odd for him. Anyone else experiencing this?💔

FTM here. Is it necessary to sterilize bottles/pacifiers? Are the electric sterilizers worth it if so?

I've made my babies bottle wrong, I've done 1 oz of hot shot to 3oz cool boiled with 5 scoops of powder... will it be OK?

12 week old isn’t drinking more than 2/3 ounces at a time … sometimes one ounce! He’s well in himself but he stops and pulls his head away and just smiles at me What’s this all about? Does he not like the milk??

My little man is 8.5 months. He is starting to each much more of the solids that are offered to him daily, Especially his breakfast & evening meal. He is naturally reducing his milk intake. I’m not sure though what to aim for! Last time I weighed him he was about 14lbs (he’s always been on the small side) but will b...

I have worked with a dietitian to confirm a CMPA and soy allergy in my 6 month old. I also think coconut oil was contributing to her skin problems. I was seeing an improvement in her symptoms but since the reintroductions she’s back to having so many explosive poos everyday, blood and mucus in her poos daily, eczem...

Hi all! Trying to decide which steriliser to go for. For ease we are looking more to a UV one and are undecided between the Nuby one, the Tommee Tippee and the Vital baby one. Does anyone have any of these and have any recommendations? Thank you so much!

Hello, My baby is 5 months old and I am expressing milk to try to introduce the bottle. It has been hard and it seems like she chews the teat instead of drinking. We are now using a MAM bottle. Any suggestions anyone ? Thank you so much

Just curious

Do they allow you to make bottles using your formula you bring in? Ftm here so nice clue haha we have Kendamil organic we will be using.

Out of curiosity at what age did your newborn start to smile and actually acknowledge you. My little boy is 8 weeks now and has started to focus and stare at things/us more but I am dying for a smile. FTM.

My LB is 8 months old and we still have a bottle when waking then breakfast. Is anyone else doing it this way round or should i really be changing the order? Worried I won’t get him to take the minimum amount required for nutrients if I do this
