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 😊

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.
