Anyone else’s 4 month old fighting the bottle? He’s always been formula fed and never had a problem. But now every feed is such a battle! He’s hungry so I know he wants it but he’s just knocking the bottle out of his mouth, and so distracted by everything else around him! Takes so long to get through a feed thes...

I've recently started supplementing to adding a powder formula as my supply has been dipping. It's a real pain at night if I run out of BM to make a bottle. It says "once feeding has begun" use within an hour. Does this mean I premake it before bed and keep it next to me until he's ready (even if it's a few hours be...

Please no judgement comments etc, I’ve gone through our GP, health visitor and my last resort will be 111 / hospital. My baby is completely well in himself from what I can tell and GP exams, but he is completely off his feeds. I am struggling to achieve 24-32 ounces, we’re lucky to hit 21. The only advice I get i...

How much milk / how many bottles is your baby on? My LG is about to be 11m and my MIL makes me feel like I’m doing wrong with how much milk and food she’s getting. She’s never been a big eater at all, it’s always been a struggle with her. She was on 4 bottles of 6oz (doesn’t always finish), but recently dropped dow...
