My little one is 15 days old and does not stop eating!! He is having 4oz every 3 hours (naturally waking up and crying) but he would definitely have more if we let him! I don’t know if I should start giving him 5oz or not. The midwife was happy and not concerned how much he was eating but I don’t know if it’s normal...

Hey all. My LB is only 10 days old. We have given great feeding a really good go and managed well for the first 10 days but I am beginning to feel exhausted and need to look after my own mental health . Yesterday he fed 31 times and I had to give him 60ml formula on top of this to be able to get some sleep. He seem...

Hi girls. Has anyone had to change their formula? Basically my girl is in loads of pain after her feeding and is constantly sick (awaiting GP phone call) and has dropped to 9th centile from 25. She’s 5 weeks old. Shes currently on Mamia but recently she brings it back up, I can’t burp her because she’ll just screa...

Formula fed babies.. how many oz/feeds does your baby have? My boy is 7 weeks

Anyone give their Lo's 7oz every bottle??

Hello, my 12 month old needs to move on from her prescription formula. We tried this Alpro soya milk, however she had awful constipation from it. It’s a shame as she loves it! Can anyone recommend one that doesn’t cause constipation? Thanks 😊

Just wondering if anyone else’s baby is one bottle per day? LB is 10 months he was on 2 7oz bottles per day but the first is slowly being cut out. Just want to make sure he gets sufficient calcium throughout the day. I do add a multivitamin to his bottle, he gets blue milk added to his porridge in the morning, he wi...

Formula feedings mamas, how many bottles of milk did you take to hospital when you had little one? (C section).

My 17month old still has a bottle when she wakes and a bottle before bed. Wondering what everyone uses if they have transitioned and got rid of the bottle. Apparently ones with valves aren’t good?

Has anyone changed their baby from cow and gate to kendamil and seen massive improvements with getting their burps up without screaming the place down? Please help a mum out. We’ve had friends and family all tell us they moved to kendamil and it helped

I'm currently 10 days post FET and it's freezing in Scotland, so I've been taking a hot water bottle to bed with me at night. I've been trying to keep it near my feet/legs but a few times I've woken up with it near my abdomen/lower back and I'm a bit worried I've ruined my chances of success here. Anyone else done t...

Should steam sterilised bottles / pumps be dry before using them? My little one is only having breastmilk (appreciate it would just be extra water for formula bottles)

We’ve been transitioning from EBF to formula, alls been fine, but we’re now at a point where she could have the 3 7oz bottles the tin recommends for her age (she’s 9months) a day and still have the boob… How much milk(formula) is your LO having a day?

My 5 week old has breast milk in the Mam bottles, I’ve been using size 0 teats. When should I move to size 1? Or should I just jump to size 2 when he’s 12 weeks? So confused!

How much are your 15 month olds drinking daily?

My 15 week old baby is not showing much interest in his milk (formula) the last week or so. He was previously guzzling 6 oz every 3-4 hours now he probably has 4 oz on average - right now he’s stopped after 2 oz and it’s been 4 hours since his last feed! Very unlike him. He has had two teeth come through but doesn’t...

I officially have a one year old! 😭 I know all babies are different but I’m just wanting to gage everyone’s different routines, if your baby is bottle fed how many are they having and times etc?

We have been prescribed Aptamil pepti 2 for my baby that has a milk allergy however she refuses to drink it. I assume it tastes as bad as it smells! Can anyone suggest any other brands I could try? Thank you
