I combo feed my 5 1/2 month old. Haven’t really started solids consistently in his daily routine yet. I give 2 formula feeds in a day and the rest bf. Lately he doesn’t seem content with his 8oz and he can drink 10oz even more - should be concerned? Is this normal? He gets angry once the 8oz is finished and the bot...

How did you make the transition?

My 6month old isn’t really drinking her bottles today. It’s almost like it’s too sore to suck the teat. She’s had maybe 300ml the whole day so I opted to give her some Kendamil porridge at about 4pm when she woke up. She demolished it so I tried with her bottle and she spat it out. Anyone experienced this? I’m put...

My little girl (13 months) has stopped having her cow's milk altogether. We thought we were making good progress as she used to have formula mixed with cows milk at the beginning of the year. Recently, she had 2 ear infections followed by a chest infection where her appetite dropped significantly. She is on antibiot...

Hiya folks. So I’m currently 24 weeks and I want to get everything ready as soon as possible for my son. I’m planning on buying the ready made formula in cartons/bottles to begin with so it’s easier when he’s first born but I’m not sure on the lifespan. How early do you think I should buy milk, I mean ready made n...

Is anyone else’s 4 month old taking much less milk than usual? My little boy used to take 180-200ml at every feed and all of a sudden is taking 110-160ml and then refusing the bottle and getting angry.

My baby will be 9 months next week, for nearly 2 months she’s been waking several times at night to feed (breastfed). She’s never done this before, maybe once at night when a newborn but not always.

Anyone with a new two year old and four month old? I don’t have the same time I did with my first to be doing one on one play and making sure they’re hitting milestones. More just trying to keep him alive because my two year old is rough (just loves him so much but has no spacial awareness lol). How are y’all making...

Hey, I’m mainly formula feeding my baby but trying to breast feed once a day and then express twice a day. It’s all a bit up and down, don’t think I’ve got into a good enough routine yet and therefore, not producing hardly anything with my Elvie stride. I have the odd time when I get around 30/40ml max! I have bee...

So I seen this in Smyth's the other day and it confused me, like they've brought out an item that boils water to put it into the flask for a ridiculous price? It's basically a kettle as a fancy machine with the Nuby rapid cool. Honestly why would you buy this... Why spent £100 for a kettle which is basically what th...
