When did you stop sterilising bottles? I know the nhs recommended 12 months but my little one puts everything in their mouth as it is🤣

Hi ladies, I have a question which may be obvious but I just want to be sure. I’ve bought the ready to feed milk bottles which come with already sterilised teats (starter pack 70ml), this is for my hospital stay. My question is it’s unlikely that the whole bottle would get finished so from the moment the baby drinks...

I only have enough bottles of formula for tonight and tomorrow. She is 1 in 2 weeks, do you think I get another tin or start her on cows milk? She has had cows milk and been normal with it! Not sure what to do🤷🏼‍♀️

So here's the long story short. Son didn't gain weight since his last appointment maybe a month or 2 ago. He is in the one percentile but he gained 2 inches in height. The doctor wants him to gain weight. So after I breastfeed I'm supposed to give him 2 ounces of formula. He's supposed to have 6 ounces per feeding. ...

Would it be too much for my 7-week-old baby girl to have 6 oz per feeding every 3-4 hours? I’m afraid she might be overfed, but 5 oz doesn’t seem to last for 3 hours.

I genuinely have no idea what to do... I'm hoping someone has had something similar/can suggest ideas My baby boy is 5.5 months old. Always been a big bottle lover - always been fed with the same formula, and guzzled it. I'm talking 40oz+ in a day. Last week he started screaming every time I tried to feed him. I t...

Ok I need some advice. My baby was premature (34 + 4 weeks) and weighed 2.06kg at birth. He is now 6 weeks and weighed 3kg about a week ago. Following the weight guidance on formula boxes, I give him 90ml of formula every time I give him a bottle and other times I nurse him or give expressed milk (again about 90ml)....

My little boy just isn’t interested in his milk anymore since having food, the only full bottle he will drink is when he wakes up which is 7oz, he has breakfast and dinner haven’t started giving him tea yet, but I’m just a bit worried as he used to love his milk so much and has now suddenly gone off it. He also dri...

My daughter is currently on the SMA anti reflux milk, just thinking about how and when to transition her back to normal milk, would she be ok to try the little sma cartons at first instead of buying a whole formula tub? Don’t want to waste it incase she still needs the reflux milk If anyone has done a transition fr...

I go back to work in a few weeks and LO won’t take a bottle! He used to, but then stopped. My husband has tried alll the tricks. What worked for everyone else?

Mums with 2 under 2, how are you coping with routine throughout the day for your toddler? Are we all just muddling through atm or has someone figured out how to manage solo parenting bath/bedtimes?! 😭😣

When do babies start to respond to their names?

Seen a few reviews on the milton cold water steriliser and how the bottles and dummies smell bleachy when they’ve come out of the steriliser, anyone know if this is ok to use still or do they need a rise because on the official video it says no need to rinse ?

Hi all. My baby is a month old and we're using Mam bottles and cow and gate milk. Over the last two days my baby hasn't drunk enough formula, he usually has around 100ml-120ml but his been only having around 50-70ml. When I try and give him the bottle again to continue feeding, he puts it out and gags (like I've...

My LO is just over 3w old and we've been using Kendamil. He seems so uncomfortable and gassy all the time, I've tried MAM and Dr Brown bottles but no difference - I'm thinking the Kendamil is too rich, he isn't being sick or anything but is always trying to squeeze out farts. He's doing on average around one big poo...

How do you sterilise bottles and formula feed in Turkey? Any advice is much appreciated, thank you x

My LG is 7 months old and is still using size 2 teats, we tried her with size 3 when she was 4 months old as suggested and a few times after again and she just doesn't like it. Will she be okay staying on size 2 or would anyone suggest skipping size 3 and going straight for size X now she's older? Thanks
