Does anyone use a bottle warmer with mam bottles? Im just concerned about the water going into the holes at the bottom as sometimes they leak.

My baby girl is 3.5 weeks and so far has been EBF… however with a toddler to take of and a partner who wants to help so badly with the load of it all, I’m thinking of moving to formula to stop the cluster feeding, get a bit more structure and so my partner can help with the baby if my toddler needs me 😥 has anyone…

Has anyone started their baby on purées yet?

Hey I have a 5 month old son who hasn’t started weaning yet but is teething. We’re currently using ashton and parsons teething gel as well as calpol when needed. Can I make frozen milk pops for him yet too or not? I’d be using formula to make these assuming that formula will freeze? And can be have these even if he ...

Just curious how many ounces of formula your little ones have at each feed? I’m struggling to get this right and I’m wasting a lot of formula by thinking she will drink more. She has 2-3 bottles of formula a day, the rest of her feeds are breast. She feeds every 1hr30 - 2hrs in the day. She’s only taking 1-2 oz f...

Anyone else's baby still loving thier milk this much she's showing no signs of dropping it yet at all. FYI she has 3 meals a day plus occasional snac...

Do I need to replace used bottle teats for a new baby and if so, where is the best place to buy Mam teats ?

Hi, how much formula do you give for the night? I give 210ml but not sure if giving a bit more will help baby sleep longer

What’s everyone’s feeding schedule for their 9 month old? I’m thinking of dropping one bottle to bring it to 3 bottles of 240ml a day so that more food can be introduced but I don’t know if my lo will be hungry or not as she never indicates she wants her milk I just give it her and she drowns it.

What kind of routine do you suggest having with a 3 year old toddler boy?

Hey everyone my daughter is almost 4 weeks old and is only drinking 1oz or 2oz each feed but the times between the feed vary. I was just wondering what your babies are drinking at this age? I was considering changing her bottles and seeing if that makes a difference. I’m going to call the health visitor tomorrow to ...

What’s the most efficient way of warming bottles of breastmilk while out and about? We have an electric bottle warmer in the house, but it’s obviously not very portable.

My girl has always been formula fed, but for the last two days she just doesn’t seem interested. She will take a few mouthfuls and then just turn her head side to side to get away from the teat, or kick her legs about lots. She is having such little milk, should I be worried? She has only had 4.5oz so far today, no ...

My little boy is on kendamil formula and he’s really struggling to bring wind up, he’s uncomfortable & unsettled. We’ve been using infacol which does make a little difference. I’ve read they changed their ingredients? What formula are your LOs one? And Is it worth changing ?

Hi. Being told different information from doctors / health visitors / midwife’s which is confusing. Out of interest (for formula fed babies) how much is your baby having per feed / per day at what age? Thanks.

Someone please help me figure out when I can feed my LG. She has just started penicillin for tonsillitis (very poorly baby). I have to give the medicine 1 hour before food or 2 hours after (on empty stomach). This leaves such a tiny window for her to eat!!!! I gave medicine at 6.20 when can she eat? When does she ne...

My LO 6 weeks has been having 120ml bottles every 2-3 ish hours up until a couple of days ago when he began to show signs of hunger after finishing his bottle . I upped his bottle to 150 but he still continues to search for more so I began to offer 180ml which he sometimes drinks or sometimes leaves about 20/30 ml ,...

Hi, does anyone do combi feeding and have any issues with baby taking breast milk due to having formula? I have mastitis at the moment so my milk supply is quite low for what my baby needs so may need to combi feed for a while but worried she won’t then take the breast milk. I exclusively express and feed her throug...

My baby is currently on 7oz and has been for a little while. This seems like a lot to me but I've followed their direction. The last dew days they keep crying after every feed indicating they want more. Surely 8oz is way too much at this age?

I’m going to be using mam bottles for my baby, to start off with at least. I know you can sterile them in the microwave but I’m torn whether I should buy a steriliser as well, or would that be a waste of money?
