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...

Have anyone travel with the individual carton of milk in Sf airport and didn’t have any trouble? I know we are allowed to bring it because is medically necessary but I have tried to reach TSA and and they are not very specific, they said I am allowed to bring it but I have seen videos that needs to be in clear bottl...

Decided to try pumping so need to sterilise it. I have washed all the bits and put in the Milton. Feeding team said to let it dry on the draining board until fully dry and use in 24 hours. However Milton bottle said to leave in Milton until ready to use. Any advice please?

Staying with family who have a cold water steriliser but have ran out if tablets and are unable to get some more. We have the tommee Tippee electric one at home so we aren't used to it

Has anyone else introduced cows milk to their LO at 11months to drink? I EBF but my Lo is starting at the childminders next week for 1 day a week in December, and I’m thinking of giving the childminder a beaker of milk, in case he needs it for comfort, as don’t think I can express enough to give and don’t want to mo...

What flask is good at keeping the water boiling hot? We have the nuby rapid cool flask but it doesn’t keep the water hot at all and I want to stop using the prep machine as it’s making reflux worse. When we prep the sterile water for the cooled water how long can we keep it out the fridge at room temp for? Hope th...

We had our health visitor come round last week and she said that once my little girl is one (next month) that’s when it’s time to start getting her into cows milk. I’ve given her small bits of it since so she can get used to it but how did you find it with your little one going onto cows milk? Any recommendations f...

How much formula is your 5 months old taking at a time? My girl is only taking 4 ounces at a time still and we are still up every two hours to eat this mama is tired…. Also waiting on a referral for gastrointestinal doctor

I will start giving formula to my LG formula once a day so she will be used to it when she will start nursery on January. Not sure which one to choose, there are so many. Any recommendations?

Mamas who are bottle feeding, can you recommend a good bottle prep maker please? And are these really worthies and time saver? How’s your experience so far?

I’ve got x4 400g and x2 800g tins of Aptamil Pepti 1 that we don’t need anymore as my daughter has completed the milk ladder. Ideally collection LE17 but would be happy to post for the cost.

Morning. Does anyone know when we’re supposed to drop the milk feeds? We have 2 bottles in 24hrs. One for breakfast and one after the bath before sleep. He looooooves his milk. Also he refuses to drink out of anything other than his fav milk bottle. I’ve tried. It turned into a screaming match. Give him water and ro...

All last week I couldn’t get her past 60ml per bottle and I was so worried. Now she’s guzzling 150ml, sometimes every 2 hours. It can be four hours if I’m lucky but there’s no regularity right now. Part of me is trying not to panic and just go with the flow but it’s just the extremes that really throw me off knowi...

Anyone’s LO completely off formula and onto cows milk?

Does anyone else's baby take ages to finish each bottle? Mine will fall asleep or have lots of little breaks in between feeding and still only drink 2 oz. I'm just constantly feeding all day, making bottles every 2 hours which she will drink on and off for the 2 hours it's meant to be drank in.
