I’m trying to find the right formula for my 10month old. Really struggling as he doesn’t really like food 😩 I’ve tried all the weaning options. SMA gives him constipation, Kendermil gives him really bad diarrhoea so does cow & gate. I’m thinking Aptamil how do you guys get in with that?

How much does your LO drink and how often? My little boy is drinking 4oz every 2.5-3 hours still

Was given go ahead to start collecting at 37 weeks. I was looking into the haaka kit, and I am just confused. If I start at 37 weeks 3 times a day and say baby comes at 40 weeks, how am I supposed to collect it all. The syringes are 5ml I believe, and I’m sure most tries I won’t get 5, but how do I store it all? If ...

I need advice on how to wean my 16 month old off bottles. That’s his comfort and it has been sooo hard trying to get him off them. I have tried all of doctors/dentist methods and they don’t work!!

Hows everyone washing their bottles? With soap or just water and brush? And then sterilise them?

So my baby is 14 months and i have been considering a second child for a while. Im thinking of trying again around the time she is 18 months which would mean a 27 month age gap.

Is the lid on the nuby rapid cool waterproof? So it can be washed as well as the bottle?

He’s healthy and good weight but just doesn’t drink a lot of milk and he’s an awful sleeper but is it because he’s not having enough milk x

I will be taking ready made starter pack milk but just wanted to know what resources they had at the RUH for sterilising bottles if I bring them, incase baby doesn’t get on with the teats in the starter pack?

My little one was born six weeks early and is combi fed. She just turned six months, and I only just noticed Aptamil has a different formula from 6 months! Should I switch her to the stage two milk now, or wait till her corrected age of six months?

Just wondering how much your little ones feed/fed at 1 month old, such as how often and how much at a time, I’m formula feeding and my baby doesn’t seem to want any more than previous weeks so just wanted some advice and experience!

How many oz are you feeding your 5month old reflux baby at one time??

I have 6 mini bottles of starter pack ready made formula (kendamil) with sterilised teats which I’ll be taking to the hospital and using the first day. Each bottle is 70ml. Do they drink a full 70ml the first day or do I half that mini bottle?

Hi all! So we’ve been combi feeding since around 2 weeks old. Our routine normally goes like this - Wake up and breastfeed all day about every 1.5/2 hours. Bedtime round 6pm and he will have a formula bottle. I will then pump that feed once he’s gone down which is normally by 7pm. He sleeps through so I set an ...

Ftm here and feeling a little bit clueless 🥲 how’re you telling how much your little one has eaten? My LG is supposed to be on 4oz according to her weight on the formula box but obviously once formula is added to water it takes it over 4oz line.. after this feed how much would you say she’s had? It is just below…

My baby boy went from a 0-3 month size to a 3-6 month size ( still long in the legs for fine but fits everywhere else ) he’s almost 2 months old ( will be on the 17th) he’s formula fed due to being in the Nicu for the first month of his life I tried to pump but due to the stress of being separated from my baby my mi...

How many mls/oz is your little one having? I feel like my little one isn’t drinking as much, breast feeding her and she’s also having meals/snacks through the day. She loves her food and will pick at all our food through the day. She’s having about three/four bottles (5oz, but not fully drinking it all) and breastf...

From birth I’ve introduced the bottle to my little girl. We had her on number 2 teat since November but we were finding it as if she was not drinking properly from it. She would have like 1 or 2 oz of formula and spit the bottle out. I’m also BF her and she was just reaching for my boobs instead of her bottle. For t...
