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.

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...

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

Baby is 12 weeks and formula fed, and has been on 4oz for about a month now with absolutely no sign of increasing still. Baby is gaining weight slowly, dropping centiles, won’t drink more if offered or won’t drink more if I wait an extra hour. I’ve given up now, I don’t know what else to do or what else to try. ...

Hi my 3 weeks ago old is currently drinking 4oz of formula everyday 3-5 hours and finishing it almost every time. I want to put her up to 5oz but I wasn’t sure if it’s too much for her age? What is everyone’s baby drinking? Tia

Hi all! Looking for advice from anyone who has combi fed their little ones. I’m due in April, and I would absolutely love to combination feed my little ones, ideally bottle feed at night and breastfeed/pump during the days. Has anyone ever done this on here? How was your experience with combi feeding? Is it worth it...

My son has just moved on to cow's milk, but he still has a bottle during the night. How are we all managing this?! Just running downstairs to make the bottle or somehow keeping it upstairs? He was previously on a prescription formula that you just added to room temp water, so I never needed to think about it. (I...
