How many oz is your little one having? Currently formula feeding and my boy is having 5oz every 2-3 hours at 12 weeks old? Is this enough

my 2 week old isn't gaining weight, my midwife suggested upping a teat size which i did mention before hand as he's on milk thickner due to reflux, once she had a second opinion she suggested not too. Has anyone ever upped a size for this age and has it been okay?

I may be thick here but I only had my first last year I’m due another in a few weeks I’m using cold sterilising had been with my first and still do but how long can I leave the water in the bucket for?? I’ve been sterilising and dumping the water after 20 minutes and I feel like I’m Using so much water doing it mult...

My son is 15m old & uses his bottle as comfort & I mean the boy won’t sleep without it in his crib😂 I discard any left over milk once he’s asleep though. But sometimes 6oz won’t do him and he screams until I give him more… but I’m not sure how much is a good amount. He has 3 meals a day with snacks in between too…

Hi ladies, my little boy is 9 weeks old and has been on tommee tippee bottles since birth, for the past couple of days hes not been getting on with them at all, hes hardly latching onto the bottle and when he is hes not drinking hes just spitting it out, i was considering changing to mam bottles has anyone preferred...

My LO is one in 5 days. We have just finished our last Kendamil formula tin. We usually do half formula and half cows milk and LO has taken well to it. Currently struggling to find kendamil formula anywhere so wondering if I could just give her a full bottle of cows milk instead? Please help😩

Hasn’t been washed in dishwasher this happened after sterilising

Hi all, Has anyone switched to second stage formula? I was planning on staying with first stage but I can’t get the kendamil first stage anywhere 😬 and I would rather stick with the same brand than add a totally new formula into the mix with weaning etc. are first and second stage very similar?! Thanks

Probably a stupid question (😅) - has anyone done this, and if so, how does it work? Do you have to wait until they turn 1 like on the day or do you go in beforehand and tell/show them baby's birthday?

When giving cooled boiled water, does it have to be a fresh kettle load every time like when making formula? Also anyone got any tips to get her to drink water because i’ve tried 2 different cups and she can’t work out what to do

Hi, I’m a FTM to a mixed baby - I’m white and his dad is 3/4 Jamaican. Baby seems to be missing some melanin 😅 and I think that it’s upsetting his dad a bit. Do mixed babies tend to get darker?

Hiiii, how do you do bottles on holiday and sterilise? Panicking 🥲🫣 xx

My baby boy does not like dr. Browns bottle nipples he refuses to stay latched to the nipple, I had to go back to the Philips avent anti colic bottles.

Has anyone else’s baby started to drink less formula? My baby was drinking 4 ounces for a few days, but now he is back to 3 ounces. Can’t get him to drink more than that at a time.

How old is your baby, what did they weigh at birth and how much milk are they having per feed?

Hi mom’s I want to hear your thoughts on formula. Which of these do you use if you use either. And why do you prefer it? Between similac and enfamil ?

Anyone else’s LO still taking an average of 25oz/ 730ml of formula a day? My LG is 10 months 7 days. She’s on 3 meals and still taking 5 bottles a day (4 during the day and 1 at night!) Just wanted to see if anyone else is on the same boat…. X

Baby turned 1 November 24th and still has 3 bottles a day I've tried swapping to cows milk or adding cows milk to her bottles but she doesn't seem to like it but will cry until I give her a bottle. She eats 3 meals a day and has cows milk with her breakfast. How do I stop the bottles? I give food first but an hour i...

Hi all My 5 month old is so congested with a cold. He usually takes 800ml ish and I’m lucky to get 500 in at the moment. With his lack of intake I don’t get why he’s pooing more? Do I need to be worried? Is this normal? If so how long will this last because I’m an anxiety ridden mother😅 x

I’ve been feeding my boy with mam bottles for two weeks now but when I check if it’s to hot or the right temp it doesn’t come out like it used to to ? It either doesn’t come out at all or comes out a little
