For babies who are formula fed and who are also eating 3 meals a day - how many bottles are they having? We have dropped to 4 from 5 but thinking of making the drop to 3. I’m not sure if I’m just feeding him a bottle out of habit/routine as he isn’t ever crying for it but would still finish the whole thing.

What formula is everyone thinking of using and how many ready to use bottles are you taking to hospital?

Anyone experience this my son doesn’t want to drink milk at all won’t even sip it. He’ll cry a bit during bed time routine like he wants it and he’ll just hold the bottle won’t even put it to his mouth last night he just wanted to hold it in bed with him til he fell asleep

I am attempting to wean my baby off Breastmilk as my supply has dropped. I have today made him a bottle of kendamil goat and he has gagged when I put the bottle in his mouth. I then gave it 2 hours and made him another bottle of 150ml (with 5 scoops of formula) and he has rejected the bottle again. I put the Breastm...

If you’re combi feeding how many feeds a day are you doing and how much formula per feed?

What's everyone's feeding routine looking like? My LO has been EBF but trying to encourage her to take some expressed milk or formula in a bottle / sip cup now. She only takes a very little bit and unsure of whether she isn't hungry enough or just needs to get used to it. Feel like she's a bit of a snacker (particu...

What age do our little ones start to regulate their own body temp?

For the last few weeks she's been really fussing her bottles, will only drive 120 out of 180 and then want another bottle 2 hours later, whereas before she would go longer without one. As you can imagine it's getting slightly frustrating as our day consists of bottle, nappy, fight to sleep, bottle etc etc. Does any...

My little girl turned 1 a few days ago and she still loves her bottles, she’ll cry until I give her one. She’s having them through the day and one or two at night because she’s an absolutely awful sleeper (whole other issue). Any advice on stopping? The health visitor said I could go cold Turkey but I’m not sure..

Currently pregnant with my #2 baby! Looking at anti colic bottles did anyone use Phillips Advent anti colic? I used Tommee Tippee with my 1st and they were okay but not the best. Looking for advice and/or suggestions if anyone can help please 🙏🏼🙏🏼

My baby turns 1 on 9th March and we are travelling to Amsterdam on 27th March for 4 days. He's currently on formula and I had intentions of changing to cows milk on his birthday. However, I'm worried about travelling with his milk now and unsure what to do. He's currently on 3 bottles a day and is slowly trans...

Hi ladies, i have an 18 month old little girl, im also pregnant with my second baby, who's due in July ( my current little girl also turns 2 in july). Im just wondering what the transition is like from having from one baby to two babies. What's your experience? xx

So I much prefer using the Milton cold sterilising method but my partner hates the fact it’s got chlorine in so once I’ve but them in the sterlister he tips out the water and then puts hot boiling water in…….does this effect the bottles or? My LO is 8 months old

How do you make your baby take the bottle? My boy has been ebf but I think my milk is not enough anymore. Hes only 8.9kg and 12 months old. He doesnt eat a lot of solid foods and still prefers my milk. Now I want to give him formula milk from the bottle but he hates it.

Hi all, I was just wondering if anyone else has come across the problem that we're having... we use Kendamil and MAM bottles, and I'm finding that no matter which way we make the bottles up the powder is still clogging the teat like it's not dissolving properly - even when making with boiling water from the kettle....

Hey Mammas! Would anyone like some Kendamil RTF bottles. We have an unopened 6 pack and a few single unopened bottles which expire in July 2025. Our LO had to go on anti reflux milk and so we couldn’t make use out of them and wouldn’t want them to go to waste x

My 11 week old is formula fed and is currently taking just about half of what he should he has not put on any weight in the last week. He is already on 0.4th centile. Any advice ladies?

Curious when other mums who’s little ones were on Nutramigen chose to stop sterilising bottles? I know the standard guidance is to sterilise as long as they have formula due to the risks of bacteria that might not be killed by the boiling water but as we don’t use boiling water to make our formula and there isn’t th...

Hi, if anyone uses the Nuby Rapid Cool, does your flask go from red, amber to green? Mine only goes from amber then a few seconds later to green and the milk does seem warm enough to drink. Just concerned as on the information leaflet, it says it takes a few minutes to go to green whereas mine always goes to green i...
