When you’re on a feeding schedule do you go by the time you started a bottle? Ex: if eating every 3 hours you started one at 12:30, then 3:30 etc?

Does anyone have tips/tricks for transitioning to bottle from EBF? My bubs will be 6 months on Tuesday and has had the odd bottle before but will no longer take it HELP

My baby be drinking too fast and be choking up during feeds or after feeding sometimes. I need a good bottle recommendation; I think she may have acid reflux but wasn’t diagnosed. I be so scared and panicking when she starts choking. I keep her upright for like 1-2 hours after feeds and she still sometimes choke on ...

We had our baby weighed on 14th feb at 13lb 4oz. She is having around 25oz a day and won’t have anymore. Is this too little? i’m panicking that i’ve read online she should be having 30+ oz per day. She is 18 weeks. Could someone please advise how much your babies are having if formula feeding? Thank you xx

What kind of water bottle does your LO like?

Hey just looking for some advise from other Mums about using hungrier baby milk. My little boy is almost 4 months(will be 4 months on Wednesday). He’s seemed to be hungrier lately which I think might be due to a growth spurt. He usually takes between 6-7 ounces, but have noticed he’s still hungry after his feeds som...

My little boy is 8 weeks old on Tuesday we was on 5oz sometimes 6oz around 3 hours between feeds. We changed his milk because he seemed unhappy and uncomfortable during and after feeds but since we changed his milk he’s dropped down to only wanting 4oz is this normal ? Should I change him back to the original milk h...

If I express my milk how do I know how much to give each feed? ATM I’m trying 4 oz, sometimes she drinks it all and sometimes she only drinks 2 oz😵‍💫

After many hours agonizing over whether to introduce formula I’ve decided to make the switch as the mental toll of exclusively pumping has just gotten too much (LO is 10 weeks old). That said I’m looking for some advice from anyone who’s transitioned, how long it took/if you took a gradual approach and how baby resp...

Will get there in the end but right now 🤯

Hello, My 5.5 month baby is formula only, he’s currently taking 180ml/ 6.30 Ounce 5 times a day. Try to space it out every 3 to 4 hours so that he has his last feed by 10pm latest. I’m trying to get him into a better sleep routine where he sleeps earlier and more throughout the day. While I am working on this there...

My LO has been on Aptamil anti reflux milk from the age of 3 months. Never been sick since being on it. NOW there is a change in the “LOOK”of Aptamil but says “same recipe “ but Im starting to think not! She is sick ALOT after every bottle of milk! Has anyone experienced the same!!?

Hi all! My almost one year old (2 weeks shy) is refusing to drink milk almost entirely. She has never been a big milk drinker at all but recently we’ve gone down to one 7 oz bottle at bedtime and then we will offer her a bottle throughout the day and sometimes she drinks 5oz, most of the time she pushes it away. S...

We have started trying to transition away from bottles. We have tried 2 types of the dr. Brown bottles to transition one is like a sippy cup top and the other is a straw; she's doesn't really like the straw one though. Any recommendations for other bottles to try. I have attached photos (in comments) of regular sipp...

He fed well on the first bottle but the second bottle he seemed to really struggle and was crying but winded really well! He was on size 1 teat mam bottles but the dr brown size 1 teat seems to be...

what are we feeding our newborns before our milk comes in? i haven’t been able to collect colostrum this time around unfortunately my daughter was in the nicu straight after birth for 6 days and as soon as my milk came in we breast fed and pumped. The nurses supplemented with formula. I’m wondering if that’s becau...

When making formula how many people use cool boiled water? My son is almost 10 months so now drinks tap water during the day(I stopped using cool boiled) but I have just moved him onto formula because of supply issues, and have been using cool boiled water to make. I’ve just realised that surely it doesn’t matter...

Guys, please can everyone give me their opinion on the above.. I just had a big argument with my partner over it. He told me to put a bit of rusk in her bottle (his mum use to do it with him and his siblings) As far as I’ve known, they’re more commonly known as knock out bottles - to make them sleep through the n...

How much and how often did you feed your baby at 3 months? I never know if he’s getting enough or being overfed! He was doing fine for awhile with 5OZ every four hours… I just don’t know.
