Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Feeding

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.

My daughter has been prescribed neocate LCP formula. I have read the prescription for this milk and you can’t use boiling water. Does everyone else use this milk for there babies? How do you prepare your bottles and what do you do when you are out?

Yes, pronounced slightly differently but basically the same

Hey What age was your baby when you first drove with them in car by yourself? Im feeling really nervous to drive with my LG in car by myself but my family live in north London and I’m in west which is at least 45min drive. My baby has colic at the moment and scared she’ll cry or become unsettled mid journey….

Previously been using ready made bottles but started to add in powder a few times a day to transition. I put in 90ml of water and 3 scoops of formula as per instructions (Both using kettle method on box and rapid cool bottles) But it makes approx 110-120ml when mixed (including some froth) Do I log it as a 90ml fe...

I normally burp my son after a few ounces when feeding he’s on 6oz bottles.Bit recently when I’ve stopped to burp after 3 ounces he then won’t take more because I’ve stopped.. is anyone that’s formula feeding just giving the whole bottle without winding in between? He’s 3 months x

Hey guys I’ve been trying different formula brands with my little one and was wondering which ones you guys love?

Hi all! My little ones just coming up to a month. In the last week she’s really started struggling with trapped wind and is barely sleeping for longer than 1 hour stretches as she’s clearly in discomfort. I pump and feed breast milk as much as possible and then top up with kendamil ready to feed if my supply isn’t...

i said to a nurse that my baby (1 month tomorrow 🥹) is looking for food after he finishes his 4oz bottle, and i said about putting it up to 5oz and all she said was that’s too much for his age even 4oz is too much. and i don’t know what to do, because he still wants more after feeding , but she’s said it’s too…

Is anyone else’s baby not finishing their bottles anymore?? My little boy is having 3 7oz a day offered before foods and used to finish every drop. The last couple of days he’s been leaving an oz or two 🤷🏻‍♀️

Hello, my baby has formula milk and needs some advice on how long it is I can leave the bottle out if he has only drank half before I need to discard the milk ? I am also planning on taking him out to a cafe. What are your instructions on using your rapid coolers xx

My girl will be 1 at the end of this month and she’s still currently on 4 bottles a day, I give her three meals but I don’t think she’s consuming much. She just sucks it and spits it out. We’ve been BLW since she was 8 months but she constantly teething, I think we’re on 12 teeth at the moment 😭 We have tried to…

I feel like it is sooo hard to get out of the house and do things.. seems like my LO is always eating & I can never do anything! Between 3 BLW meals a day and she still wants 5 bottles a day(every 3 hours) When do we go out? (Groceries, errands, etc) I do bring a bottle with us and feed her in the car sometimes but...

I’m debating if I should buy a bottle sterilized dryer. With my first daughter I strictly only breastfeed and never used bottles but this time around I’m planning on breastfeeding and pump which is all new to me. What’s the best and healthy way to clean baby bottles????

Would you be offended if your mil bought formula for the house.. we live in their basement apartment and I ebf for the most part, (besides when they’re pumped) they always want to bottle feed her and say she’s hungry when she’s upstairs. And I try to pump for the freezer for if I’m not able to breast feed meaning wh...

Formula babies who are on 3 x meals a day...how many ml / oz in total are your little ones having now? Thanks :)

How soon can you hand express I have started but I’m worried it’s too early any advice?

When am I supposed to stop bedtime milk for my 18mo? Also I probably know the answer but he’s still using a bottle for this (only once a day)- is this normal or not? Just confused on when I should stop all of it.

Hey ladies. Not advice needed really but more just to hear from you all about how much milk your little ones are taking now? My girl is 9.5 months, formula fed and on 3 meals a day. She eats very well I’d say but her milk intake has dropped dramatically. I offer her 3x7oz throughout the day, some days she’ll finish ...

My little one has just been diagnosed with CMPA and put on nutramigen. She seems to be adapting well other than the first bottle which she didn’t like the taste of lol. Shes had her first p**p since starting which was something to day the least 😂 Does anyone have any good outcomes with this milk? X
