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...

Hello! My little one is 5 1/2 months and I have been exclusively breastfeeding. I am wanting to introduce a bottle so I can give him to my partner or mum for a few hours here and there. I was hoping to pump as I did this with my eldest however this time with two small children pumping just isn't working for me. ...

If you’re giving a bottle of expressed milk to your breastfed baby at night before bed, how much ml do you give?

Hello my newborn is 8weeks and he has reduced the rate he feeds. He does not seem interested in feeding. I do combo feeding, breast and bottle. He seems to enjoy breastfeeding than bottle feeding but I am worried that he may not be getting enough from the breast cos I have low milk supply which is why I supplement ...

How are you all keeping on top of cleaning toys and teethers? Some say that they can’t be subject to heat or sterilization - wondering how I can clean them properly without this?

I have no idea whether I should be trying to cut down my babies formula intake at this stage. She currently has around 100-150 mls per bottle, 4-5 times a day (unfortunately 2 of which are in the night!) What are yours on? Should I cut down? And do we need to introduce vitamins once they've cut down?

I’m packing a couple of bottles and dummies in my hospital bag. I was going to sterilise them but im wondering if I’ll be able to sterilise them at the hospital?

Hi all, I track my baby's feeds via the Huckleberry app. When I make up 120ml of water with 4 scoops of formula, it ends up being 130ml worth in the bottle. If my baby drinks all of this, would you track it as 130ml as opposed to 120ml?

Anyone that has had 2 babies how did you find the transition?

Starting to transition to formula after EBF. How long does it normally take your LO to finish a bottle? It took mine about 20mins just to drink 2oz and she didn’t finish the rest.

Hi guys, My little one has turned one a few weeks back and would like to change his milk bottle from the small Tommee Tippee to something more age appropriate in regards to his development. Any suggestions please as the options are endless. He currently drinks his water using the Munchkin click lock sippy which ...

What types of formula is everyone using and what are your thoughts on them?

Haven’t done this before! If I was to do 4oz boiling and 4oz cool boiled do you think this would be perfect temp? Thanks x

How many oz do your 16 week olds have each time? Just introduced a bottle to my ebf baby but trying to figure out how much to express for each bottle 🙈

My babies 6 weeks old and I was curious does anyone have a routine they stick to, we have a lose one but to be honest I find it quite hard to stick to it day to day depending on my babies moods and what she needs. Was curious how everyone else is finding things with trying to get their baby into a routine!

I don’t feel like my milk supply is enough. So I’ve been giving formula. I’ve noticed my baby seems calmer and happier. But he doesn’t finish a bottle. I hope I’m not doing anything wrong

My 14 month old is fully on cows milk but we are struggling to get her away from her MAM milk bottles. She will drink from other cups - sippy and straw bottle but only a little bit when it's milk and then say no, whereas when she has a MAM bottle she will have around 240ml at a time. Does anyone have any tips to hel...

My baby is 15 months old, and has almost stopped taking milk. He takes 120 mL in the morning and does not want to in the rest of the day. But eats well. Is this normal? How can I make him take more!

Little one is 14 and a half weeks now and this week has been super fussy. He had started going from 9/9.30 to 5/5.30 at night the only thing we were struggling with him dropping a feed was trying to make it up during the day when he doesn't often finish the bottle with the next ounce up or when he does he spits hal...
