Any recommendations for a steam steriliser for pumps and bottles? Looking for convenience eg quick and good capacity

Why do my Mam bottles make a whistling noise when my baby is drinking from them? It doesnt happen all the time but randomly it happens and i cant figure out what it is. Isit that the white bit that goes into the bottom is in too tight or not pressed down enough?

"FTM here. My 4-month-old is showing signs of feeding aversion and has been taking less milk for almost a week now. I'm not forcing him, as I worry it could make things worse, but I'm concerned he's not getting enough milk based on his weight. Looking for advice."

Has anyone started their LO on purée at 4months/just before 4 months? Milk isn’t cutting it for my girl anymore😅

We plan on going on “holiday” when baby is around 6-8 months old. The hotel won’t have a microwave to sterilise his bottles and since we’re going by train I don’t feel that I can take his steriliser with me as there will be a lot of suitcases we have to take too. Does anyone have any idea how I can sterilise his bo...

My baby is not even 11 weeks old and he's already on 8 ounces of formula. I'm basically upping an ounze every two weeks because he keeps asking me more and more! When I up an ounce he asks me for food every 3 hours, after a week of getting used to the new amount he asks me for food every 2 or 2 hours nad a half! I f...

Thinking of introducing some formula for my baby who has been fed expressed breast milk for his first five weeks. He was early so struggles to latch on to breast feed for a full feed so I express 8-10 times a day. My partner returns to work soon and I won’t be able to keep that up especially at night while also sett...

Couple of people have said to me it’s to much , but he is so hungry that I had to up him to 6oz and he finally settled. Anyone have any advice, am I ...

My daughter is about to turn 1 this month and my aunt just told me that she should only be having 2 bottles a day…. Is that correct? Is everyone on the same boat?

My daughter will be 4 when her baby sister arrives by planned section. She is a huge thinker and very switched on and is asking lots of questions about the baby's arrival. I'm aware that she has a very sheltered view of birth and I don't want that to change. However, she is a worrier and I know will worry about me d...

I can’t find my baby’s formula anywhere, it just completely disappeared. Does anyone know what’s happening? I have maybe 3 bottles worth left and I don’t know what to do

My baby almost 1 and I’m planning to give him milk. How much milk are you giving your LO per day?

So my baby is 2 weeks old and EBF, I haven’t introduced bottles of expressed milk yet. However my mental health is depleting and I genuinely believe it’s all down to breastfeeding. I feel like I’m not enjoying time with my baby because all I do is worry about the next time he will want fed as it can be constant, on ...

We do lunch at half 11 and then a bottle at half 2 and he has 4/5 ounces and then dinner at half 4 and a night time bo...

My baby is 2 weeks old tomorrow and I’ve just upped her formula (Kendamil) to 120ml as she has been finishing her 90ml bottles. After she finished her bottle it hit me that I only put 3 scoops instead of the 4! Should I be concerned?

Has anyone changed to hungry baby milk at all and how did you get on with it? I have an almost 4 week old who is drinking 6oz every 2-3 hours. Is this even normal?🥲
