Kendamil shortage

With the organic formula being completely sold out, does anyone know if the whole milk version is the same thing? Just not organic? I don’t want to upset baby’s tummy.

Bottle/solids schedule?

My little guy is eating solids so well! He doesn't seem very interested in formula anymore but I'm still trying to offer it often mostly for hydration. But I'm just wondering, how many oz of formula are you guys still feeding per day? On a day when I'm feeding him all day.. he drinks like 25 oz. But on a day w...

Free baby stuff

Hi ladies!! I’m throwing out my daughters baby bottles, plates, and a few sippy cups. I’m also tossing out her formula container. You might just have to change the nipples, but the bottles are in good condition. The plates she’s used a couple of times, but I ended up getting her a porcelain plate so it’s just taking...

Formula feeding + colostrum

Hiya - a bit confused, I am planning on formula feeding my baby from the start - but am I still able to get colostrum out or would this encourage more milk to come in?

Combination / Mixed Feed Advice

Hello, my baby is 6 weeks and I’ve been EBF however I’ve decided for my sanity to start introducing formula too as I need the respite. The exclusively feeding has been killing me and I find zero time to pump as I have a little one that refuses to be put down. Does anyone else mix feed that could offer some advice o...

Baby not taking water

Is anyone really struggling getting their formula fed little one to take water. I have tried so many different cups and things and she just spits it straight back out. It’s making me go insane I feel like I’m doing something wrong.

Constantly overthinking

So my daughter is 4 months and she’s having 5 6oz bottles in the day so 30oz in a 24h period. She sleeps through the night. She’s draining her bottles so I’m thinking she’s ready for 7oz but that would be 35oz in 24h period and surely that’s too much??? I don’t want to over feed

Flying with baby formula & hot water

Hi I'm travelling with easyjet and understand I can take enough water/formula etc that my baby needs for the flight. I usually make formula with a flask filled with hot/warm sterilised water, plus another cool water flask. Is this allowed? I can't seem to find the answer on the gov site. Thank you

Feeding every hour

My 2 MO has within the last 2/3 weeks started to want to feed every hour. I did think this was cluster feeding but because it’s gone on for so long I didn’t think it could be. He seems fulfilled after his feed but then wants to be back on within an hour. Am I just not producing enough? Do I need to top him up with f...

How many mls/oz of formula in 24hrs?

How much formula and water is a 10 month old supposed to be on a day? The NHS website says 400ml a day but other people are saying they are still giving their babies 4 bottles a day. My little one is currently on three bottles a day and drinking around 600ml a day

Formula fed baby

My baby is about 10.5m and has been formula fed, he has never been a milk lover from around 4m tbh. Hes recently been drinking more milk at night though, I was hoping to cut down on night feeds but wakes up crying and only milk soothes him. Anyone else going through this? Wondering if it’s some kind of growth spurt?

Bottles/milk

My son is 12 months old so we’ve switched to cows milk and he’s no longer on formula, he has this in a morning and before bed but I’m not sure if I should still be giving it him in a bottle? What should I be giving him it in?!
