What week should we be sterilising bottles/pumps/dummies ?

Mine goes anywhere between 3-5oz

My baby is 4 weeks today and is having 4oz. Sometimes after she's giving hunger cues for more so we give an extra oz.

How m...

We have dr brown bottles for my wee girl and they leak everytime I make a bottle. Does anyone have bottles they recommend for breastfed babies?

My baby is 9 days old and has been taking 3oz bottles anywhere from every 2-4 hours. Yesterday she was draining her bottle and looking for more so we gave her a bit extra to try and settle her and she vomited.

Hi all, After sterilising my bottles, if i wait for the bottles to air dry, it takes 12-18hrs to fully dry. Do i need to wait for it to fully dry prior to use or can there be some remaining condensation/water droplets from the steriliser? Is that safe? Thank you

Hey! How long is water sterile? If let's say I boil the kettle, put in a flask and let that cool down to room temp, would that be ok? Trying to find a easier way to make bottles whilst we're out and about. Thanks!

Hi all, Just wondering how many bottles a day your 9 mo are having and how many oz? My lb was under the weather the weekend and we took him to the docs and when she was asking if he was eating and drinking ok she asked how many bottles he has a day ‘out of interest’ and when I said 4 she said he could do with dro...

I'm thinking about pre-making bottles and storing them in the fridge for night feeds so I can just quickly warm one up when needed. Does anyone do this? If so, did you do it from birth? I'm just a bit worried as I've read bacteria can still grow even when bottles are stored in the fridge.
