Hey girls I was just wondering... Do you give your baby formula milk still or cows/oat/soya, etc? How much a day?

If 3 or less, which one(s) did you drop and in what order please? Xx

Hi ladies, my little boy is 2 weeks old now hes formula fed due to him not latching properly on the breast. How much are your little ones on and how long do they go between feeds? My baby is between 3-4 ounces and sometimes hes barely going 2 hours between his feeds, is he feeding to much? Thank you x

Hi all! My boy is starting nursery in two weeks but fortunately I don't start work until January. Just wondering how people manage to get ready and leave the house so early for both mum and baby 🙈. Any tips would be greatly appreciated! At the minute I have visions of me turning up to work with no makeup, birds…

When you are out for the day, let's say hiking or at an amusement park, how do you do bottles? Do you just take 4-6 bottles with you? Do you rinse 1 for the day and reuse it? How do you warm bottles? We will have access to hot water. Was initally thinking take formula powder in a zip lock with a scoop and then mak...

Do y’all like Tippee Tommee bottles ?

Hi, My LO is 11 months old and she’s started to COMPLETELY refuse her bottles. I’m at my wits end, honestly. I know formula/breastmilk is their main source of nutrition until they’re 1, but I genuinely don’t know what to do? I’ve even resulted into feeding her with syringes, that’s how desperate I am. She eats real...

This may be a silly question… but before using a breast pump, do we need to sterilise them before actually using it or is it safe to use them then sterilise it after the first use?

My 3 month old is formula fed, on hypoallergenic due to a cow milk protein allergy… The past few days she hasn’t been taking her bottle like normal. She typically does 4oz every time, sometimes even needs 4.5 or 5 oz! The past couple days she has been eating like 2-3oz per bottle and will refuse to eat any more. (E...

My LG eats the whole bowl of whatever veg purée we give her and she drinks plenty of water with it too. She’s been on solids for around 2 weeks and just has one meal a day. I’m unsure whether she should therefore be having way less milk around the time of eating as surely she’s full but sometimes she gets grumpy a...

Just curious to know about your feeding routines for your little ones. How often do you give them a bottle of milk, and how much do they usually drink each time? Trying to get an idea of what works for others. Thanks in advance!

Do y’all sterilize baby bottles after each use or how does this work ? I been doing it after each use but I was told not every use ? 😩

My baby started 3 meals this week (not eating lots at all but trying things), however is still tanking bottles, roughly 32oz per day - I've played around with giving less but this results in waking in the night crying for milk - so I obviously I don't want this - am I giving too much? Baby showing no signs of wantin...

I hope this makes sense... if 6oz of formula per feed is recommended, does that mean:

How many pre-made formulas should I bring in my hospital bag? They are 70ml bottles and I’m booked in for a c section so will be in minimum overnight. I know some hospitals provide formula but i plan to use kendamil and they don’t always stock that.

I know its a long shot but anyone in my local area I need of first stage kendamil. My daughter is on allergy milk and I have some sealed tubs and ready made bottles we haven't used.

Do all baby's come off formula at 1? My baby eats food but showing no signs of dropping her milk. She's one next month and still having the same amount of milk since I can remember. She loves her milk

I don’t know how to use either of these. I’m guessing they’re pretty easy but should I have a practise making bottles up before hand or is it a waste? I’m 37 weeks now so could be any time and I didn’t want to be stood messing with a crying baby waiting for feeds etc. what did everyone else do?

Mama of 3week old baby. He his formula fed. He has 4oz every 3/4 hours. Is this too much or not enough?

My baby has always been a really good drinker m, now over the last couple days he will struggle drinking a couple ounces and cry on the bottle? Has this happened to anyone else? We haven’t changed formula or bottles
