LO is still on T2, feel I need to up it though

Hello, My 2.5 month old is using the level 1 nipples on the bottles. How do you know when to change nipple sizes? Sometimes there’s spillage with the Tommie Tippie level 1 nipple and there’s rarely any with the Philips Advent Level 1 but I feel like he’s working hard to suck out of the Philips Advent. Thanks!

Hi all - does anyone make up bottles for overnight to use? I’m not sure it’s advised but good to know what everyone does. Can you pre make up formula (2 or 3 bottles to be used within 12 hours) and re-heat?

How many oz are you feeding your September babies at each feed??

I am having a hard time transitioning to a bottle. I have tried 6 different types of nipples and he doesn't like any of them. It seems like he doesn't like the plastic taste of them. Any suggestions??

Hey everyone, I'm currently 38 weeks pregnant and looking for recommendations on baby bottles. I purchased Tommee Tippee anti-colic bottles, but I’ve heard from someone that bottles with straws are better for preventing colic. Since this is my first pregnancy, I'm a bit uncertain. Could you please share your experi...

I have a bad habit of accumulating 6+ bottles of water on my bed head and they just live there rent free. So I have recently decided whatever I leave there, I HAVE to drink the next morning in order to clean/clear it. It’s actually prevented me from bringing so many damn bottles in plus I’m getting hydrated af 😅

I think I’m still confused with sterilising and would be so grateful for any advice on two things!! 1. if I sterilise a bottle but don’t use it within the 24 hours do I need to sterilise it again? I have an electric steamer one and don’t want to risk doing anything wrong. 2. Do I need to dry the bottles/pump bef...

Our baby is half bengali (south asian), quarter salvadorian, and quarter puerto rican. You'd think the bengali would show more smh!

Hey fellow moms….. my almost 2 year old (April) still wants bottle…. ONLY takes his milk from bottle he will spit out or not drink it if it’s in a sippy…. Is this okay? Any other moms whose babies refuse milk from anything other than their bottle?

Hi fellow September mums, If you’re combi feeding, would you mind sharing roughly how many feeds of each you do and how many oz per formula feed? Trying to work out if I’m overfeeding! Thanks.

My son has expressed breast milk and formula. He seems to have a preference for the formula, is anybody else in the same position? He’s more fussy with the BM and pushes the bottle out of his mouth more frequently. He will still drink it but wondering whether to even bother if he has a preference

Ftm here, have no clue which ones are suitable etc. Ty in advance x

so my 14 months still continues to drink lots of milk at night! i have now switched from milk to only giving him water to which he cries and wakes up every 30mins now as opposed to every 2 hours! i am at wits end! but he still hasn’t picked up eating more during the day! He is anemic and on iron supplement , he will...

If your baby is on 3 meals a day, how many oz and how often are you giving a day?

Is anyone using toddler formula milk? I’m looking into this for my little one as his tummy isn’t agreeing with pure cows milk or milk alternatives. Do you still need to sterilise bottles with toddler milk and use the hot shot method? If so I might just get the ready made cartons as I’m so ready to ditch the Milton t...

How old is your little one and what is your routine? If you have one! x

Has anyone transitioned their 6mo to stage 2 formula? My LO is 6 months on 17th, and I have 2 tins remaining of Kendamil stage 1. I’ve been buying stage 2 here and there to build up a little stash as there’s often a shortage, so not sure if I should buy more stage 1? LO also has purées once a day and baby safe tea a...

I know they won't stay sterile so that will need to be done once baby is here and at home, but I'm being induced next week so wondered if now was a good time to give them a good wash :) I breastfed my first so this is a whole new world to me!

Hi!! So my baby has been consistently a 32oz formula baby for months and months even with real food and purées. He’s into food but very picky and doesn’t eat a lot. He’s turned one in just a few days so I’m trying to get him used to less oz since when we switch to whole milk I’ve heard you should really only do 16-2...
