What was the most challenging transition when adding a baby to the family? going from…

Has anyone started your little one on BLW yet? My boy is showing all the signs of readiness but I know guidelines are to start at 6 months..

My daughter doesn’t like the taste of cow milk. I tried mixing in small amount with formula and she barely takes it. Any suggestions?

My lo is 7 months, and he recently discovered Weetabix l. He loves it. I made him two today as well as pureed two nectarines. He ate everything. Isn't it a bit too much? 🤔

How did everyone decide it was time for another baby? My little girl is 9 months old and we’ve been thinking about expanding our family but we don’t know when the best time is. I know everyone is different but what are some of things that helped you decide and know it was the right time😩

Can anyone tell me how many bottles I can sterilise in one go with the Nuby UV steriliser please? Also if anyone has the portable version… how many bottles can i do in one go with this please? Thanks x

So, my LG is EBF, and is now also on 2 meals a day and snacks in between. I started Sterilising EVERYTHING when she started weaning, spoons, bowls, cooking pots pans and utensils... I now don't sterilise anything, not even her water bottle and she has been absolutely fine. My reason for this was, she eats everything...

Any recommendations for good sterilizers please

Hi Guys… Please can you give your bottle warmer recommendations… ideally one that fits any bottle. Many thanks in advance

I am really struggling with brewastfeeding now, I’m not sure how long I can keep going and how fair it is for my little one. She may have tongue tie and has recently become fussy in the boob. Gets really stressed out latching on and staying on. She is gaining weight and doing nappies so it is working just so hard. ...

Morning everyone… Those formula feeding. I’m using kendamil. How many ml are you giving your baby and how often? My baby is 6 weeks old he always seems hungry

Does the hospital sterilize bottles for you?

this is a very silly question but I literally can not wrap my head around it.I currently use a prep machine but will be going on a trip to the US which will leave me to have to make bottles on my own. Do i still boil water and give my formula a hot shot and use cooled hot water or do you use distilled water from sto...

Hi all! So my little one (5 months) takes 160ml average each bottle. She normally takes about 20 mins to finish one maybe even longer on size 1 teats. She didn’t seem to be fussing but I thought out of curiosity I would try a size 2 teat. She didn’t struggle or splutter and took it really nicely but the only thing...

My baby is starting to feed 5oz… my trouble is that I don’t know how to make that half oz without doing 6oz in a bottle since the formula I use is 1 scoop per 2 oz. How do you manage that half oz without wasting formula? Just looking for some tips from mamas who might have some easier ways of doing this without was...

Looking for recommendations… We currently have the Baby Breezer water steriliser and dryer however the bottom where you put the water has started to burn and also the limescale after every use is getting ridiculous so we are thinking of changing it however are undecided on weather to get another water or UV Sterilis...

I bf and pump but have started combo feeding when I’m extremely tired, or unable to bf/pump. I’ve tried Bobbie formula and Bubs. Bobbie(cow milk based) gave my baby lots of gas, but so far she’s been doing very well with Bubs(goat milk based). I also didn’t expect to feel so guilty about formula feeding 😭

First time mom to-be, and while I’m planning to breastfeed, I want to have formula on hand in case of any issues. Which do y’all recommend & why?

How much milk are you guys giving your 1 weeks old? I’m still hospital with lil one and they are making me do up 100 ml a feed I feel like his tummy is only little is 100ml too much or am I just over worried?

Baby girl is 4 weeks old and has just started finishing 4oz of kendamil usually at each feed, however, around her last bottle before bedtime she screams for more, I’ll make her another bottle and she will have another 1-2oz so can be around 6oz for one feed. Anyone else experienced this? Is it normal?? She just st...
