Sterilising

Do we need to sterilise things such as baby spoons since they are coming in contact with baby’s mouth as googles saying no but surely it’s the same as teething toys etc and need to be sterile?

I need some help

This is a bit of a specific question as im trying to calculate my baby’s intake in order to feed him breastmilk until 1 year minimum. I managed to get my supply up to an average 40opd on top of what my son nurses. That means I have no idea how much he drinks per day. If your 2 month old (9weeks) is on the 75th cen...

Milk in agadir

Hey everyone l was looking for some advice. We'll be going on a family holiday in 3 weeks and our 19 month old son has a bottle of milk in the morning and before bed. Is the cows milk in Morocco safe to give him? Or should I put him on the growing up formula for the duration we're there?

Formula milk or cow milk

Are you giving cow milk or have you switched to stage 3 formula? My baby is a fussy eater and we rely on milk quite a lot. He drinks 3 full bottles (600- 700 ml)per day but I heard that you cannot give more than 400ml of cow milk per day so I'm a bit unsure about the switch and was thinking to continue on stage 3.

Teat sizes

How do you know when to move up a teat size? I’m using Tommee Tippee bottles and have got the teats that came with the bottles but feel like I should change them as my daughter is taking a long time to get through the bottle and seems to be working really hard to finish a bottle.
