My baby is 3 days old, I’m not able to fully breastfeed him but want to make use of it, and add some formula feeds in there. Any good combination feeding routines that helped any of you? 🤍

Hey everyone! Just wondering which baby formula you all use and what it’s like for stock? I’ve been reading about the formula shortages sometimes and it makes me worried for when I have my baby, finding one that agrees with her and also is in stock, and isn’t too financially draining lol! I do plan to breastfeed h...

Good morning. I would like to figure out how to increase my supply again. My son started to slow down on nursing because he started to sleep through the night at 5 months and whenever I would try to wake him up to feed, he would refuse. He’s currently on a non-dairy formula and dislikes it. He still wants to nurse,...

Hi all, I’m 27 weeks and I’ve got pretty much everything ready for baby to arrive however when do I sterilise the bottles and dummies? I’ve seen people say they’ve done it by now and then others saying wait until right before baby’s here Any advice?

Hi, trying to wean my ebf 7 month old onto a bottle, so far unsuccessfully! Any tips or tricks to help baby understand and take the bottle? 🍼💛

Gave him a ready to feed Kendamil at 5am; he drank half of it. 4 hours later at 9am I just fed him the remaining 150ml!!!!!! I had made a brand new bottle but got confused as they were both on the bed and accidentally fed him the old bottle. I’m so worried; what shall I do???! Will he be ok? You’re supposed to disca...

She eats from our plates as she throws everything on the floor when we give her her own food & I don't think it's much that she's eating when eating from our plates but she stops when she's had enough. Does she still need the nutrients from formula or is it okay to just stick to cow's milk now? I've been slowly int...

What are your thoughts about a 4 month old in the 98th percentile weight?

Hiya, my LB (12 weeks) is drinking from MAM bottles and is still using a teat 1. How do I introduce the teat 2? I have tried previously, and he gets very upset as the flow is too fast.

Just for fun. What did your nesting stage look like and when did it start? Mine kicked in at 36 weeks and it showed up in the form of cooking homemade food, ie tomato sauce and strawberry preserves. 😂😂

My LO is one month old and we feed her kendamil. She take 4-5oz every 2-3 hours and we use the MAM bottles. But she is so fussy when being fed, she’s screaming, flapping her arms about, it sometimes can take 40 mins to an hour to feed her a bottle. She’s hungry as she screaming for the bottle and I don’t think it’s...

I’m coming up to 34 weeks with my first baby and am in the nesting zone! Wanting to try and be prepared, when is best to sterilise bottles etc? I would like to do it all now but feel as though I’d need to do it again closer to when baby is due / is born. I’ve seen some people do wait until baby has been born but ...

Anyone know if I can buy carobel from a pharmacy? May run out this weekend so unable to get a prescription 😩

FTM and need a little reassurance that it’s normal for a 20 month old to poo regularly. Since changing to to normal cows milk from formula powder my daughter poos 2/3 times a day. Is that normal? If you can please write which milk your child drinks, how many per day and how many poo per day would help me a lot

Just came from our 10 day old check and baby has lost weight for the second time, just a few grams but still not putting weight. He’s mainly formula fed due to me not having enough milk supply. We were told to feed him on demand and that’s what we did. He’s mainly been taking 60ml every 2-3 hours, he would not han...
