Hey! Does anyone else have/had any issues with the TT steriliser. I find myself descaling it at least 2-3 times a week which seems a lot to me and I find the metal disk burns really easily and often I can smell a burning smell coming from the machine after a full cycle. I try my best to remeber to stop it half w...

I’m looking for the best way if I can’t breast feed, to feed baby. Whether this be prep machine (although I’ve heard it’s not recommended so I don’t really want to use this) or nuby rapid cool. Or just the kettle method or any other ways please? I’ve also bought a flask that mimickes what the nuby does as I’ve heard...

can i sterilise my nuby rapid cool without the lid on in my MAM steriliser? Any advice?

Hi, wanted to know how much milk your 2 month olds are drinking and every how often? My baby exclusively breastfeeds during the day and from 6pm 9pm and sometimes 12am (if she's awake) she will have a 5oz bottle. I'm finding she's finishing this very quickly! To the point where I'm having to top up with my breast mi...

Makes me less worried when I see some bubs a head developmentally

I'm getting so stressed! No matter what we do, change teat size and brand, change formula, try Gaviscon etc my 7 week old will not drink more than 2oz sometimes 1oz! He's now 10lb 5oz at 7 weeks and seems to be putting on weight, but I see other babies drinking 4-6oz at this age. Is there anything that has helped fo...

I'm breastfeeding but we give my little one a bottle of pumped boob milk each day so I can nap and my partner feeds him. I haven't changed the bottle teat size though. I assumed as my nipple is the same size, the teat should also stay the same? Are you meant to change the size and flow of the teat?? Thanks!

My little boy is 14 weeks now, we have moved from teat 0,1 and 2 very easily. We’ve been battling with teat 3 and X for about 3/4 weeks now and not really getting anywhere. They are both too fast for him yet a 2 is far too slow! Any advice? We’ve done paced feeding which doesn’t make much difference. I have read tha...

Hi all! FTM worrier here!! Our 4.5 month old has had a cold since Wednesday and feeding has gone completely out the window 🫠 Formula fed - every bottle is a battle only managing to get 70-90mls down him in one sitting (normally drinks between 180-210mls every 3-4 hours). I am offering milk every two hours but he is…

Hey! My little one is 9 weeks old now and I’ve been pumping since day one. At the moment, he drinks every two hours and has 120ml per feed. He weighs over 14lb so he drinks A LOT!😂 The last feeds - 8pm & 4:30am is with formula (180ml). I know that with formula, babies will tend to feed less but have more. Do I…

Hi there, my little one is currently 9 days old. I was breastfeeding until yesterday but have changed to formula for the moment. Every feed my little one has been spitting up, could this formula just not agree with him or is this just the case for most formula?

My baby is 3 1/2 months old. He typically eats 6 ounces of formula every 3-4 hours but sometimes he wants more in like an hour or two. He does spit up quite a bit if he has the back to back bottles. He doesn’t show any signs of pain or discomfort when he eats that much. He typically tends to “overeat” every night be...

Hi all, My girl is struggling and I think from what a read, Colief may help. Problem is Iv read fan absolute faff to prepare having to wait 30mins before giving the bottle. Do you need to give this at every feed even overnight? Any ideas? She hates cold formula from the fridge

I only have 2 and it’s a bit of a pain keep washing them but considering if I should buy more or stop being lazy and wash them lol.

Hi, my LO has been on Kendamil since birth and has been doing fine. Ever since the new tins and scoop has come out on the market (we have been using for a weeknow) I have noticed my lo is vomitting now and the powder does not mix properly which leaves lumps at the bottom of the bottle never experienced this with old...

Hi all! First time mum who feels like an idiot for the past 8 days just looking for some maybe stupid advice! I have been breastfeeding since birth but have decided to use formula at the moment for various reasons! I think I may have given it to fast (currently has 60mls) and he has been sick loads. Seems settled no...

I just brought this bottle warmer and I set it to the right setting more my babies bottles and it beeped like it says it would when it's done and I just took it out and after bout 5-6 minutes it's still as cold as when I put it in? Am I doing something wrong? Please help

Is anyone else really unsure about their little one starting school next year? I just feel like he’s not ready at all, whenever I try to talk to my partner about it he just says that there’s still 9 months til he starts and he might be fine by then. I’ve seen that you can apply for them to start in reception at CSA ...

My 8 month old will no longer have a bottle of milk! I'm lucky of he will take 3oz

Hi, Is this amount of air bubbles normal for formula? Thank you!!
