Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Feeding

I’m just trying to work out how to manage sterilizing bottles and getting prepared in case I’m rushed in. I’ve bought a starter pack with the ready supplied teats for the small milks. I plan mostly to bottle feed with the open idea of breast feeding but I think I will end up bottle feeding anyway but I am wonderi...

Once your bottles are sterilised, where do you store them afterwards to use throughout the day? In the cupboard etc? Have been using tommee tippee bottles and sterilising in Milton and just getting parts out the tub throughout the day but just switched to MAM and planning to use the microwave for sterilising all bot...

How much whole milk does your 1 year old drink? I believe my 1yo is drinking way too much whole milk but he’d rather drink than eat.

We’ve been gifted the nuby bottles and just used for the first time. We’re doing the hot shot method so… Measuring 5oz, then pouring 4oz into the nuby keeping the other 1oz in the bottle. We then add the 5 scoops of formula and shake. Once the nuby is green I’m pouring the remainder of the water into the bottle. HOW...

My 1 year old daughter is totally refusing to drink whole milk. She is on formula. She drinks alot less formula maybe 15 oz a day but she will not drink whole milk. I am anxious that she will not take whole milk at all and we will be forced to give her formula. Is anyone else facing this? Or has faced it? Please any...

I have 2 small mam bottles which I got for free at a scan but just wondering what people recommend bottle wise as I’ve seen people saying mam bottles negatives being that heating the milk up doesn’t work as well as other brands! Originally I was going for tommee tippee but now unsure of what to get any advice is w...

I use the MAM bottles and sterilise them as per instructions in the microwave. Most of the time, the teat will retain some water droplets which just don’t dry away with air. Any ideas on what to do? I assume I can’t wipe it away with a paper towel as that would make them unsterile again, idk?

So after chatting with health visitor we have decided to give anti reflux formula a try. We have been trying aptamil anti reflux over the past few days but have only noticed my regular supermarket doesn’t sell it so it’s a bit annoying to trek to another. So I was wondering has anyone ever changed the reflux milk th...

Mums with 5 week olds, how much formula is your LO taking and how often? What weight are they?

Hi Mummas! I was wondering if anyone else has found that their 6 month old has started taking their sweet time to finish their bottles? Normally it would take 10ish minutes but now it’s taking anywhere between 25-30 mins! And he hasn’t even finished the whole bottle by the end of it? We use anti reflux milk and ...

I recently switched my daughter to the organic Kendamil formula. She’s been having runny green poo and has been spitting up a ton. Has anyone experienced this with this formula? I’m not sure if it’s normal. My first baby was breastfed so formula is a whole new territory for me lol.

My 1 week is feeding more than 8-12 times a day - she is on demand and between formula (mostly) and a bit of breastfeeding (the supply is not established yet). Anyone else? Should i keep it under control? Im not trying to overfeed her (and honestly doesnt seem like it becaus she is not spitting out any excess)

For those who are thinking of formula feeding. How are you taking formula to the hospital if the brand you chose don't have pre made bottles? Reading a lot of information online that hospitals don't have facilities to make bottles up?

Ingredients: 💫Cup of frozen blueberries 💫Cup of water 💫Level tablespoon of chia seeds (Double ingredients if you want a full jar) Method: 🥣Combine all ingredients in a saucepan and bring to boil, simmer for 20 minutes stirring occasionally. 🥣 Let it cool down 🥣 Blend and pop in empty air tight jar…

So I’m on my 4th child due in may and I moved so I had to get the other stuff from where I was living from the last child. Well I was living w my MNL and I had a complete bottle set. I get the bottles back and there all different brands and all bigger nipple flows she did bother to replace the smaller nipples at all...

Hows everyone thinking of taking formula with them when going out? Ive been stuck at home because i dont know best way to take it with me - help please

How long after starting dairy free formula did you notice a difference? During some bottles my baby can be very sick, and also cry during and after and is very unsettled. This is his only symptom but I feel he has reflux not an allergy. Unsure how long I should trial the formula before going back to docs to query...

Anyone else use tommee tippee bottles and had all the writing come off from cold water sterilising 😩 I’m going to have to buy a few more now as I can’t see the measurements on some of them anymore ! This one is probably in the best shape of all of them !

What flask is everyone using to make up feeds on the go? We have the grey nuby ones from the rapid cool set and they no longer stat hot for long enough anymore they are 3.5yrs old as we used them with our second but just won't stay hot long enough any recommendation's would be great! 🙂

I’ve been exclusively BF for 6 months. My LO wakes up 8+ times a night and as a result, the stress is effecting my letdown. My breast feel numb, even though I have milk! I have a letdown majority of the day but I’m a SAHM and my nerves are so shot end of the day. I’ve decided it’s time to try and combo feed for the ...
