Hiya, just wondering when do we stop sterilising bottles? My little one is 6.5months on BLW im sterilising her bottles but she's crawling around, she kicks the floor puts all sorts in her mouth and even licks the dogs, try to stop her as much as we can but you know babies she's been fine with it. But why am I steril...

Just for fun. What did your nesting stage look like and when did it start? Mine kicked in at 36 weeks and it showed up in the form of cooking homemade food, ie tomato sauce and strawberry preserves. 😂😂

My LO is one month old and we feed her kendamil. She take 4-5oz every 2-3 hours and we use the MAM bottles. But she is so fussy when being fed, she’s screaming, flapping her arms about, it sometimes can take 40 mins to an hour to feed her a bottle. She’s hungry as she screaming for the bottle and I don’t think it’s...

I’m coming up to 34 weeks with my first baby and am in the nesting zone! Wanting to try and be prepared, when is best to sterilise bottles etc? I would like to do it all now but feel as though I’d need to do it again closer to when baby is due / is born. I’ve seen some people do wait until baby has been born but ...

Anyone know if I can buy carobel from a pharmacy? May run out this weekend so unable to get a prescription 😩

FTM and need a little reassurance that it’s normal for a 20 month old to poo regularly. Since changing to to normal cows milk from formula powder my daughter poos 2/3 times a day. Is that normal? If you can please write which milk your child drinks, how many per day and how many poo per day would help me a lot

Just came from our 10 day old check and baby has lost weight for the second time, just a few grams but still not putting weight. He’s mainly formula fed due to me not having enough milk supply. We were told to feed him on demand and that’s what we did. He’s mainly been taking 60ml every 2-3 hours, he would not han...

My LO will be 5 months on Tuesday and definitely going through a growth spurt! How many oz’s are your LO’s drinking in 24 hours? :)

Reviews? Thoughts? ✨For my future formula fed baby

My little one is 6 months old now and EBF since birth. Had expressed milk as top up feeds in a bottle pre 10 weeks old as he had slow weight gain, so took a bottle well and hopefully would again. Thinking of introducing a bottle at bedtime (but still breastfeeding during the night) so my husband can help with the ...

We use boon nursh but my son is grabbing the holes and yanking on them which is causing him to take in air so we wanna switch to a different bottle. These are ones we haven't tried yet.

What size test are people using, I’m still using size 1 teat on my mam bottle, have been since baby was born. How do you know they are ready for the next teat?

What milk are you offering after / how often please?

Hey mamas! Due in February with our one and only and planning to exclusively formula feed. I know there are lots of different methods, boiling, dishwasher, bottle sanitizer machines, etc. what have you tried? What would you recommend? What would you avoid?

My little one is a week old today and he was feeding every 3 hours (sometimes 2 depending if he cried for it) and now we are just purely demand feeding, since then he now feeds every 1-1.5 hours and is only taking 30-50ml rather then a whole bottle like he did on the 3 hour feeds. Is there a way to try stretch feeds...

I have always exclusively pumped for my little boy who is 4 weeks old (he would never latch). He has gone from last week drinking 3oz every 2-3hours to chugging 4oz every hour this week! Im not sure I can keep up with the new demand. I’m worried because I’m not managing to eat or drink enough that my milk isn’t fil...

Any advice I’m wanting to change over to bottles I am literally constantly feeding him a lot!! Feels like he’s on me constantly, He don’t go 10mins during the day without it I no sometimes it’s comfort thing but I cannot get on and do anything during the day like housework/cook my partners doing it all but I would l...

Our little boy is 3 weeks and 2 days old and he's on 4oz of kendamil and he's wanting it every 2 hours! It was 3oz every 3 hours last week. Is it normal for him to want this much? He doesn't always drink it all, sometimes he does Just feels like he's always hungry!

Also…I’d like to possibly continue to breastfeed if he wakes over night..anyway I could keep enough supply for that or might as well just call it quits? I do not want to pump.
