Kendamil

So I’ve heard kendamil have changed something in their first infant milk formula and a lot of people have noticed babies are constipated etc.. I’ve started noticing it with my little girl as I have had to introduce gripe water to her! What’s everyone’s thoughts and tips? Have you stuck with kendamil or changed?

Nuby rapid cool when out

We tried out the nuby rapid cool last night. It worked well and it seemed to cool down the water really quickly - which is fine - but does anyone know if it would keep the water boiling when we take it out until it's needed or does it cool straight away? The instructions said to add formula straight away once the wa...

Formula Milk

Just curious.. My baby is nearly 7 weeks, I was feeding her with four cups of fórmula milk (Kendamill) every 4 hours or less during the last 2 weeks but now she looks a bit hungry… she looks more happy with 5 cups, but… Is not to much? How many cups are your babies having?

Cows milk and bottles

How much cows milk is your little one drinking in a day? And what bottles are you using? We’re still using mam bottles and worried she won’t take it or drink as much with another type and treat it like her water🙈

Sterilising

I want to bring nipple shields to the hospital just in case there’s a struggle with latch, but I’m aware they need sterilising. However, I also know that sterilising is also said to only last 24 hours? How do I pack them in my bag ready but also have them properly sterilised ready for use? I presume this is the sa...

My little boy has a 8oz bottle in the morning and a 9oz one at night. He also has weetabix for breakfast every morning (refuses to eat anything else) and has about 4oz of milk with that.

Teat or without teat?

Planning to pack some emergency kendamil just in case I can’t breastfeed. I’ve been looking at the ready to feed range and can see there’s bottles with teats and ones without. Which ones are better to take? I know the ones with teats are more convenient but I think the ones without have better value. Help!

Transition to Full Fat Cow’s Milk

My little boy is turning 1 next Saturday 🥳 I was wondering how you all transitioned from formula/bm to cow’s milk? Can I do it just before he turns 1? He was born low birth weight so it’s been a bit of hard time getting him to gain weight.
