What teats are everyone using for their 5 week olds?

My daughter has been a bit sicky the last few nights and I changed her dinner from 4.30 to 5 and wondering if this is why. She has dinner at 5 and then bedtime bottle at half 6. Is this too close

We were doing really well with weaning and I'd got into a great routine with my boy. He'd have 3-4 bottles a day (roughly 22-30oz a day) plus 3 meals, snacks and water. He's not been himself for the past couple of weeks for different reasons. Firstly he was teething and went off all of his solids completely, would ...

What Teat size are your babies currently using?

Has any tried the Aldi mamia formula I’m currently using aptamil has any switched over to the aldi one

Hi Ladies, Up until this point I have been expressing milk to make up a bottle for the final night feed, which my partner gives to baby. It’s worked ok so far, however I’m finding it a little stressful trying to keep pumping and feeding, originally I wanted to build up a supply stash in the freezer however I’m ...

Maybe I’m thinking too much into this. The world’s a bit different these days.

I’ve finally gone from Aptamil pepti 1 to sma alfamino just waiting for it to be ordered. How has anyone who’s used this found the formula my little one’s has been really struggling, can’t go on his back, screaming after bottles and has some rashes finally on the amino acid based formula and I’m praying it works. J...

I would love to know how much milk your 4 week old is taking? & how often they vomit?

Hi all I forgot to wash my baby’s bottle which there’s leftover formula in it been 2 days can I still use it or throw it away? Can I just wash it and sterilise it? I want to be on a safe side he’s 10 weeks old

Is Nutramigen Puramino prepared with room temperature water like the other Nutramigen? Thanks!

I'm changing my LGs routine slightly now she's 8mo. I'm dropping from 4x milk feeds to 3x milk feeds, with 3x meals instead of 2. Does this look okay? What are your routines like? 7:30: wake up 8:00: Milk 270ml 9:00: Breakfast 10:00: Nap 12:00: Lunch 13:00/13:30: Nap 14:30: Milk 270ml 17:00/17:30: Dinner 1...

Do you have a routine for your 5 month old? I need some help setting a routine😅

LO is currently suffering from reflux and trapped wind. We’re currently on Aptamil, using Dentinox in her bottles and she’s on omeprazole. Thinking of trialing a different formula. Has anyone had any luck on Aptamil Comfort or Hipp Organic?

I was finally taken seriously by a GP (🥳) who diagnosed our little girl with non IgE cow's milk allergy with a possibility of lactose intolerance on top of it. It seems that we'll be prescribed nutramigen for her but I've seen a lot of posts saying babies refuse the formula because it doesn't taste nice. My baby is…

FTM. How are you sterilising these flasks??

When did people stop sterilising bottles? LO is 6 1/2 months and puts everything in her mouth so I feel sterilising bottles has kind of lost its purpose.🤦🏼‍♀️

Hi my LG was on 5-7oz a bottle on nutramigen.. but last couple of days she takes 2oz and is done. I’ve tried bigger teat but is not that. She’s fine in herself, wet nappies etc. I do think she has been teething… could that be it? Xxx

My son is 2 months tomorrow and guidelines say he should be going up to 150ml feeds. Well typically in the last 3 days he hasn’t finished his bottles. Normally he finishes all 120ml every 3 hours religiously every single day. So I don’t feel like I can top up his feeds. Anyone else had this ? Or know why he might ...

Hello, what water is everyone using to make the babies formula? Using bottled water is unsafe due to it being in a plastic bottle. What is everyone using instead? Thanks!
