I use this Milton bottle cleaner... before putting them in the steriliser But it's expensive. Does anyone know a cheaper alternative apart from fairy liquid? Thank you 😄

Hi everyone, I have a 10 month old that only drinks 2 bottles of formula throughout the day is this normal. He does have his water throughout the whole day with his meals or if he is thirsty

I need some advice!! I'm so torn between a uv steriliser or just a steam one?!! What have other mums got?!

For those of you who use MAM bottles, have any of you moved to size 2 teat yet? I can’t remember when I moved my daughter onto these but it was before the 8 weeks it says. My son’s 2.5 weeks and is already falling asleep on his feeds, specifically the last two. Hes then waking less than 2 hours after starving and ...

Anyone who swore by metanium yellow nappy cream find anything just as good? Or somewhere i can still buy it?

Can anyone recommend a cup with a straw please How did everyone get on with going from formula to cows milks

Is there any difference between the 2 different milks. A lot of my friends have been given the nutramigen milk however my doctor has prescribed the aptamil pepti 1. All new to this so don’t have much of a clue 🤷‍♀️

My EBF baby has started to take a bottle 🥳 if I wanted to switch out a full feed to formula how much should I expect him to drink? Also if you combi feed and your baby has a bottle of formula for their last feed how much do you give them please?

Can I add this to aptamil pepti 1? My little one doesn’t seem to like the taste of it and I’ve seen people say you could add some of this.. I’m just wondering if anyone else had added it to this milk and babies took to it better and is it just a drop?

For feeds on the go, do I need to sterilise my milk powder box with the different compartments? I was thinking of washing it in warm soapy water then leaving to air dry? Thanks

My baby usually takes 5/6oz sometimes 7oz every 2/3 hours through the day. This morning he had a feed about half 8 then slept until 12pm. By that point you’d think he’d be starving. Well i did. He only had 4oz then a few mins later puked it back up. So i’ve left him as he was to just sit up and play a bit and was wa...

Hi all. Bit of a silly question here but I am planning on flying to another place within Scotland and I’m getting paranoid about taking formula on the plane. I have ready made bottles that I’ve not used as I wasn’t sure if it’d make my baby sick case it’s different to the powder she gets? Not sure if I’m just over t...

I feel like I'm just failing / struggling with so much right now. Looking for tips and tricks with weaning off bottle: My son will be 13 months next week. He is still drinking bottles regularly but I want to start coming up with a game plan to start weaning (at least during the day). Any helpful advice appreciated...

Can someone tell me why most people are against heating a bottle up in the microwave?

hey guys, what size teats are your babies on? my daughter is breastfed 97% of the time so it is very rare she gets a bottle. i have an appointment tomorrow for at least 4 hours so she'll need a bottle. just want to see what flow teat she should be having now. thanks in advance x

For those that started on purées what kinds of textures and finger foods are you up to now? Pictures of how much you are still mashing or blending food (if at all) would be great xx

Please share toddler routine x

I have weaned my 5 month old onto formula over the past month (he was exclusively breastfed) and I’m really struggling to get him to feed regular & set amounts. He is allover the place. It’s every 2-4 hours and honestly varies from 2oz to 6oz and you can imagine how much formula this is wasting! He still wakes i...

My boy is 7 months at the beginning of march and these last few days he’s been hardly drinking his milk other than 9oz at bedtime but he’s been having food absolutely fine? I am offering milk as normal and the only reason I’ve given more food is incase he is actually hungry but doesn’t want milk… turns out he’s just...

Hey mamas, currently been trying to wean my 18mo old off the bottle at night he’s attached and won’t go to bed without his milk bottle. Wakes up at night for a bottle or two as well. I would love some tips on how to wean him off of it 😊
