Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Feeding

Hello, my daughter is 3.5 months old and still refuses a bottle of expressed milk. She has never taken a full feed from a bottle. She sometimes flat out refuses, and sometimes chews the bottle instead of sucking. We have tried me being out the house, tried different bottles etc. She has slight tongue tie / high pall...

I’ve exclusively breastfed for first 5 months of my sons life. However we’d now like to try supplementing this with formula to up his weight gain a little. My question is, how do I supplement along side breast feeding as it’s hard to know how much he would need when you can’t see what he’s drinking from the breast. ...

My little one is obsessed in milk & I’m really struggling to wean her off, she won’t go to sleep without a bottle, so she isn’t eating much at all. Probably a couple of spoonfuls of breakfast/ lunch/ tea and has crisps and fruit but other than that eats nothing. I would say she’s consuming 500 calories food alone & ...

Am I the only one who thinks this whole yellow metanium being discontinued for “supply issues” a bit fishy? If it’s doing so well, and the holding company knows people are willing to buy it for much more than its selling price why not just increase the price! It’s being sold for hundreds on eBay! I feel there might ...

My baby seems to prefer the bottle is that okay?

I have been exclusively pumping for 8 months now and I have always been an over supplier but in the last month my supply has massively dropped. I have tired everything to get it back up but I am only pumping enough for 3 out of the 4 of my babies bottles. I do want to keep on pumping and giving him that milk for as ...

Anyone had this issue and cracked it? My little guy is having 3 decent meals a day now and was having a bottle between meals but is now refusing them or only drinks a few oz of each. He’s still waking for a nightfeed, though he never drinks a full bottle anymore. Last night he had a 4oz feed at 12.30am, he’s woke ...

My 4 week old ( 5 weeks friday) is having 4oz bottles but is draining them everytime. Should I be increasing the amount? Anyone else who is formula feeding, how much are your babies having please?

How much and how often are your babies drinking? My LG was 4months on Monday and currently drinking 7oz 6x a day. She literally screams like she’s been starved including over night which I find crazy considering her daily total ounce intake! She’s been on goats formula since the start and never had any colicy prob...

How many bottles and ounces of formula are your 9 month olds on? I actually can’t believe we 9 months in?! Where is the time going 😭😭

My 3 week old last day has been wanting more formula and breast milk around 4oz each feed she is waking up every hour or just over for this , is this too much? Should I reduce it ? I was hoping 4oz would mean longer sleeps as it’s going up but no

I’m EBF, but baby has had a bottle of formula here and there if I’ve had a few glasses of wine (maybe 3 since he’s been born) I’m happy EBF atm but I think it would be good for my husband and toddler if I was more available. What times of day do you use bottle vs boob? Do I start with 1 feed a day? It’s hard cos my ...

Recently changed to size 3 bottle teats and when my LB is drinking it pours out of the sides of his mouth. I saw on TikTok someone else had this issue and changed to size X, tried this and it’s still happening. Was hoping it was just because he needed to get used to the new teats but it is still happening 3 weeks ...

My 11 month old is still on 4 bottles of formula a day, when he turns 1 do I have to fully replace these with cows milk or should I just replace the morning and evening bottle? Also does anyone have any tips on reducing the amount of bottles he’s on? He won’t eat much when it comes to solids so he seems to still n...

Hey mamas! I need some help. My LG is 10 months and 1 week, she's on 3 meals a day + a snack. She has a 9oz bottle when she wakes up and doesn't really take milk during the day. She may have a 5oz bottle before bed 7pm but still wakes up 1/2am for a 9oz bottle. What do I do? I offer her (formula) milk during the da...

Our babies are supposed to start kindergarten in 2027 🥺(at least where I live) which means my daughter will only be 4 when she starts. I just feel like that's so young even if she'll only be 4 for the first month of kindergarten. I've been thinking about waiting till 2028 to send her. My other daughter is 14 months…

So my LG turned 1 at the weekend… she’s on 3 6oz bottles a day. Can I switch these straight to cows milk or would that mean she’s having way too much cows milk? I tested the afternoon bottle with just pure cows milk and she drank it fine so I don’t have to worry about her not liking… do I need to wean off formula?

Has anyone had to but new bottles due to smelling and the smell not coming out? I throughly wash bottles to make sure they're clean and have been on allergy formula since 2 weeks old she's 1 on Friday I've had to order new bottles because they absolutely stink and I can't get the smell out no matter what I do and o...

For a few months now he has just been terrible with drinking milk. Some days he drinks them all, some days lucky if I get half what he should be drinking. Today I’ve just about managed to get 14oz in him, when he should be having 35oz. He’s pretty much had half his bottles all of last week. I put it down to teething...

We’ve only recently made the switch to cows milk and it’s all been fine, except it’s making my daughter constipated. She’s having really hard painful poos. I’ve tried fruit juice etc, but have had to give her lactulose because she’s really struggling. How long did it take your lo’s to get used to the milk, I’m tempt...
