Looking for a good budget bottle steriliser, any suggestions?

When did you go up a teat size for formula fed babies? Using Dr Brown bottles and wondering whether to move to size 2 as she keeps falling asleep midway through and doesn't seem to be moving on volume, 90ml size ce about 3 weeks old and now 10 weeks

My little one is 10 weeks and was taking 6oz every 3.5/4 hours and we had a few chunks of 6/7 hours at night. But now he’s back to wanting milk every 2.5/3 hours but messing around after a couple ounces. He will sometimes scream through the first couple ounces too even if I wind or slow pace etc.

Hi everyone, I had some trouble with latching early on and moved to pumping and giving breast milk in a bottle- pumping then took its toll on my mental health. We moved to formula around 4 weeks and I instantly felt better and baby is well fed, happy and in the 75th percentile for weight. My husband this week has st...

I have a dilema, I don’t have that much milk left for my 3 m and I supliment with formula. I’ve noticed that because of the formula he wakes up more frequently and is more gassy during night time…if he gets my breast milk sleeps just fine. Should I pump all day and what I have to give him at night? I know that the ...

Hey girls, my baby has protein milk allergy and idk what to do, I’ve been exclusively breastfeeding him for 2 months, he’s very picky and wouldn’t take formula i tried giving him similar Alimentum formula and he gave me hell. Idk what to do he’s a very fussy baby that cries too much I’m getting so tired and overwhel...

Hi, what’s everyone’s opinions on prep machines? Worth it? Not worth it?

Thinking of trying dentinox for my bot instead of infacol how long should I leave it from the last dose of infacol to try it?

How much and how often are you feeding your 6/7 week olds? Mine is currently on 2oz every 2 hours but I’m trying to get her to change to 4oz every 4 hours. Really anxious she is not getting enough! How many oz are you getting in within 24 hours? Thanks!

Hi all! Few random ones from me! 1 - has/does anyone use the perfect prep machine for Pepti 1? I thought you couldn’t but someone pointed out that the instructions on the back of the tin are the same as ‘normal’ formula. 2 - what colour and consistency is everyone’s little persons poop on Pepti 1? We are still...

I’m just curious to know how many 0z everyone is feeding their 2 week old baby’s , my little boy is on 4 oz and going 4/5 hours between each feed . But my partner insists we should up his bottle a 0z because his drinking all his bottle

My 10 month old has been ill for 2 days now. She is refusing formula. She eats some solids but very little liquid. Does anyone have tips I can use to sneak in more hydration. Her wet diapers have reduced and I'm worried. I've just made some formula popsicles and waiting for them to freeze.

Mine is 4 weeks tomorrow and he has 4oz or very close to every few hours I fear I over feed him (even tho I only feed when shown hunger cues or he scream cry’s which usually means he’s hungry) I assumed he wouldn’t feed if he wasn’t hungry, apparently this isn’t always the case as they also feed for comfort. I worry...

What stage is your baby?

Just curious how many bottles everyone’s LO’s are on now they’re hitting the 10 month mark. I’ve seen a few posts where some babies a similar age are only having milk morning and night at this stage. My daughter is on x4 8oz bottles a day. She has breakfast, dinner and two snacks. I’ve been trying her with a lunch b...

My boy is 4 weeks now, I am breastfeeding and from yesterday he had some crying because he was hungry, not to long after he eats. It seems that my milk supply dropped or it's not enough for him to be full. So I introduced formula, but I wondered how it's possible for him from a day to another that he is not full any...

My little girl has 6 oz per feed of formula, every 3.5 to 4 hours so averages around 5 bottles . All of a sudden she's wanting a feed like she's not had anything for days. If I even take the bottle out to wipe her mouth she moans an crys , is this normal ?
