He's also having 2 meals a day breakfast and dinner. I want to start decreasing his bottles so he drinks more in one go but I really don't know h...

I’ve made the bottle as instructed… but there’s bits of residue left around the bottle has anyone else found this to be grainy? And is that ok? He’s just had his first bottle of it and was really sick is this normal? I suppose his little tummy has to get used to it?

Hi mamas, Have any of you used infacol for your little ones? I'd like to hear your experience if you did, please. These days I feel like my boy is drinking his milk/formula too fast though we try and pace him and burp him in between and after, but he gets gassy and wakes himself up if he can't pass it day or nigh...

How much and how often are you feeding your babies! My LO is only taking 2-3oz every 2-3 hours! At night she will also sleep 4 hours between feeds!

When you are noting down how much you LO has fed do you include the volume increases or not? So if making 150ml and they drink it all are you noting 150 or 160 with the volume increase of the powder?

Changing from prep machine to nuby rapid cool and just have a query about the rapid cool! Hot-shot method - How are people working out their hotshot? Some people say it should be 10ml hot shot per oz and you measure this in the lid but isn’t this so awkward if you’re out and about? Taking the teat off whilst trying...

I’m struggling right now, my little girl turned one a week ago and the health visitor said that we needed to go onto whole milk so we have and it’s been such a struggle, she’s drinking it fine but she’s gone from waking once in the night for a bottle, having 4oz ish of formula and going back to sleep, she’s not waki...

How much milk are your 16 month olds having now? I'm currently doing 1 in the morning followed with cereal and then more milk before bed? Wondering if I can just drop to 1 before bed?
