I recently switched to the Dr browns 8 oz bottles but they don’t fit in my mom cozy bottle warmer with the nipple on so I’ve been heating them up without the lid or green colic attachment. Is water getting in the bottle from the steam that heats the milk? Is there something different I should be doing? Help!

Why does formula change to “follow on milk” at 6 months? I didn’t even realise and was going to just keep giving my baby the usual “first milk” formula. Now that she is 6 months do I need to change to the next formula?

So I thought we were the lucky ones and Dr Browns bottles weren’t going to leak, but here we are😅 Drives me CRAZY! What bottles are similar to the Dr Browns Narrow Bottles?!🥴

How long did everyone continue to sanitize bottle and bottle parts? Your girl is tired lol

I've never sterilised with Milton before and just bought some today. It says to rinse after 15mins..surely this will make the bottles unsterile again? I have a bottle of the Milton liquid and on the front it says 'new instructions' so I'm wondering if the rinsing part is new as when I Google it everything says you d...

👋 My baby is 15 weeks, he was drinking 6oz of milk every 3 hours, he got very upset when his feed was finished so the last two days upped his milk to 7oz, sometimes he drinks it all sometimes he doesn’t, I can’t help but feel this is a lot of milk for a 15 week old? He sleeps through the night 10pm to around…

Is anyone using the Tommee Tippee Prep Machine? My sister has given me hers. I know it’s not recommended by the nhs which worries me but seems soooo much more convenient. Also, another one for convenience, how are people formula feeding when out and about? I’ve just spotted the Rapid Cool Baby Bottle Maker which lo...

I've read online we should be dropping the bottle (of formula) I use the toddler milk (stage 3). 8oz. Before bedtime and in the morning after breakfast so I can have a shower and not have either run out room or bang on door (we have toys in bathroom but her laying and having bottle is what works for us). My little o...

Hey! My baby is 6weeks old I was wondering how many oz’s are your little ones drinking? Also when do you know to upgrade from a 0 sized teet to a number 1?

Hello! My fussy gal will only take warm milk, I express BM but when we’re out and about it’s cold because it’s from the fridge. Any recommendations for good portable warmers that aren’t £££? Thanks!

Hi, I have a 5 week old and we are currently using test size 0 (mam bottles) because she has reflux, but she is taking ages to finish the bottle and often getting frustrated, has anyone changed to teat size 1 at this age/ with a baby with reflux?

Hi my baby is 18 days old, I had a very complicated labour and was stuck in hospital 11 days so he was on Kendamil ready made bottles, as I couldn’t wasn’t able to BF. once we got discharged we put him on kendamil formula, so it’s been a week now, I’m finding he is constipated and in discomfort since 2 days. I spok...

How have people managed to wean baby off formula? My little boy is 11 months and still having around 16-21oz a day and only drinks about 3-4oz of water a day.

So my baby (18 weeks old) is EBF but he’s becoming so hard and distracted on the breast and I’m getting at that stage where I’m getting super stressed feeding him in public which is obviously not helping with his feeding. I’ve been wanting to switch to giving him some bottles which he had here and there in the past...

Looking to start weaning next week, baby is 5.5 months and will be 6 months in 17th Oct - would you still be sterilising weaning equipment or not? I know bottles are recommended up to 12 months but I think that is because of the formula? Is that right? Thanks!

If anyone is combi-feeding do you find that your baby drinks way more pumped breast milk than formula?

4 month old is having 6 7oz bottles a day. Is this too much? If you look it up it says a 4 month old should be having no more than 32 ounces in total a day 🙈

Anyone who is using Kendamil, seeing as the first infant milk is almost impossible to get hold of at the moment, what is everyone using instead..

Hello ladies, We have the Tommee Tippee prep machine and when we have been out we have been buying the pre-made bottles which are pricey. Can I take formula in a formula pot and a bottle with the water from the machine (how you’d normally make it at home) and combine whilst out? She can then either have it warme...

Hi all I am breast and formula feeding but wanting to just breast feed, I'm worried baby boy isn't getting enough from breast as almost after ever breast feed (every 1.5-3hrs) he's needing a top up of 2oz formula, is this normal? Could my supply be too low for him? I'll carry on offering breast first then bottle bu...
