My LO (20 weeks on Tuesday) has only been taking about 2/3oz of his bottles. His night time ones he drinks the full bottle but day time is a struggle. When he’s drinking it’s like he’s chewing the teat, rubbing on gums. I’ve tried changing the teat size to a 3 but he couldn’t handle the flow & most of the milk ended...

Hi, My lo is on aptimal pepti 1 and I find her reflux is worse due to the consistency of the milk? Whats everyone thoughts on carobel? Does it cause other problems? I’m in two minds to try it? My little one is also on omeprazole. What size teats do people use when adding carobel?

Does anyone has any recommendations for bottle warmers? At the moment we’re just using a flask during the night but I want to make sure the bottle is at the right temp. We have mam bottles. Also may be a silly questions but we’ll be using formula, so do you put cold water and then the formula in to the bottle and th...

My baby is 9 weeks old and has started to really not like to feed. She would usually have 5oz in the morning 4oz throughout the day until bedtime, where she would have a 6 oz bottle. Since Tuesday, this has not been the case, though. She pretty much only wants 2oz per feed. Her night time one she wants a bit more, b...

Any advice on how to introduction a bottle to an exclusively breast fed baby ? My son is 13 weeks old and we worked really hard to establish breastfeeding in his first few weeks and once we had we stopped using a bottle (probably a mistake). I have to return to work in a few months so we are working on getting him b...

Hey girls! I’m due in July and hoping to breastfeed and eventually introduce a pumped bottle when my supply increases. Can anyone recommend the best bottles to combi feed with? I’ve heard NUK are supposed to be good!🍼

My daughter is 15 weeks and she is eating 3-4 oz every 2-3 hours. She has both breast milk and formula throughout the day. It seems like a small amount lol.

Hi everyone, does the rapid cool need time to reset after using the hot shot method? Also, with the hot shot method does it still need to be sterilised after each use? X

for those who combo feed how do you do it? boob and bottle, 2 separate bottles or 1 bottle half formula-half boob milk?

Hi, This week my 7 MO has drastically slowed down on her milk intake and I’m concerned/ want to know if you have any advise. She’s having like 2/3 oz of every bottle and then just closing her mouth shut. Refusing to drink anymore. Not changed her bottles or her formula. She does have solids but also shown less int...

My 19 month old is still drinking from mam bottles (only twice a day, morning and evening) I want to get her off mam bottles as I know they’re not good for their teeth. Are your little ones still on mam bottles? And if not, what bottles are you using, are there any similar to mam bottles that are better for their te...

How many ml are you feeding your 4weeks? Im seeing online 150 and 5 feeds? 😮

How do I go about sterilising the nuby rapid cool and how frequently do I need to do so? For reference, I have a UV steriliser. I’m not sure if the top digital bit can be sterilised or soaked in sudsy water. I will also be using a thermos flask for the hot shot method. Apart from washing it in warm soapy water, rin...

If your sterilised bottle/pump parts fall on to the countertop what do you do?

Really struggling to get wind up from my 8 day old LB. He’s using tommee tippee bottles anti colic. Any recommendations to what bottle to try next

My son is 17 months now and he’s still having 2 bottles of cows milk in the day (2x7oz). 1 after lunch and 1 before bed. Iv tried all sorts of things like giving his bed time bottle into a different cup but he just doesn’t seem to go off unless he has it in his bottle. Does anyone have any suggestions they could ma...

Anyone who has used a prep machine, what did you do with it when you no longer used it. Our girl only has 2 bottles a day now so we're just using the rapid cool for them. Just not sure what to do with the prep machine now.

Hi September mums! Hope you’re all doing well Just wondering for those formula feeding (NO JUDGEMENTS ON THIS POST PLEASE) - my son was previously breast fed. How often are you going between feeds? I’m trying to offer every 2.5-3 hours but my baby is refusing until 4 hours have passed.

My little one is turning 13weeks on Monday and just wondered when’s a good time to progress to the next teat size! She’s happy during feeds and doesn’t get frustrated so mummy instinct is to leave it a bit longer! What did you mummas do?

Any recommendations for bottles? We had Tommee tippee but they all seem to have gone missing and we’re down to 2! What is everyone giving their night time milk in? Are we heating it up? Thanks x
