Hey everybody! My baby boy is about to turn 3 months old (bday October 29th) and his pediatrician is concerned he’s not gaining enough weight. For context, he was exclusively breastfed his first two months and we recently started combo feeding. At his 2 month checkup he weighed 11 pounds 3 ounces, and we were told h...

Which bottle would you prefer? I feel like at the starting level Dr Browns might be too fast. I'm going to try to breastfeed.

Just need to vent, or get advice, as I am STRESSED😤my little one has decided over the last few days that she hates feeding most of the time. She will take 8oz on one bottle, then randomly decide for the next 3 bottles or so to have 2/3oz and that’s it. She will randomly scream as soon as the bottle goes near her,…

I'm currently using aptimal formula but wee bubs who is 4 weeks has been so unsettled, wanting fed every 2 hours and we've had to up the amount to 5oz but still no difference. Should I try another make of milk? If so any suggestions and has anyone else had this problem.

Hi! I’m trying to transition to cows milk and I read that the standard bottles I have been giving him until now are not supposed to be used for cows milk as it might cause tooth decay due to the sugars. I have been offering it in a cup during the day but what do you use for the morning and before bed bottle? He won...

Can anyone help? My LO turned 19 weeks this week and over the last week or so has started not to take as much milk during her feeds. She is formula fed and until last week was taking 7-8oz per feed every 3/4 hours. This week she is taking approximately 4/5 oz and then just isn’t interested in taking anymore (somet...

Bottles have been sterilised and I’ve put the scoops of powder in ready for his next couple of feeds. Is this okay? Trying to make it easier when he’s screaming and wants his bottle immediately.

Hi, my 7 month old is given 2 solid meals a day (2 tablespoons each) + 900mL of day time formula. At night, he cries at 12am and 4am until I give him a further 150mL each time taking 24h total to 1,200mL… is it too much? Online guidance suggests only 800mL to 1L at this age.

My baby has been eating between 4 and 5oz for the last 3-4 weeks, but I wouldn’t say we are any closer to moving up to 6oz. Would you say this is normal? I was expecting us to have moved onto a bigger bottle by now after nearly a month?

Anybody use the Milton cold steriliser and find the bottle parts smell afterwards? is this normal or am I doing something wrong?

My almost 8 month old has finally taken a bit better to weaning and is having 2-3 meals per day (sometimes not much at a time but others a fair amount). However he is still taking around 34 oz formula a day. Some days he has up to 38oz. He still has a feed around 9pm then around 3am. Occasionally I can get him to ...
