Sterilising when weaning

Are we supposed to be sterilising every spoon/fork/bowl/plate babies use when they begin weaning up until their 1yrs old? And what about teething toys?

Exclusively breastfeeding to Combi

Hey all. I’m looking for your advice/ experience on combi feeding. I’m currently my baby with breast milk only, mainly from the breast but sometimes using a bottle.

Not feeding as much?

Over the last few days my 5week old baby has gone from inhaling bottles, to being a bit fussy and not really finishing them. We were on 120ml (4oz) every 3 hours with the occasional 150ml (5oz) here and there, but now sometimes we are only finishing 90/100ml with no interest in a top up feed before the next one is...

Formula Amounts

How much milk does your baby take at each feeding? My baby is 10 weeks old and I’m not sure if I should be increasing how much I am offering her. At the moment it’s usually about 120-150ml (4-5oz) she drinks.

Bottle feeding

My LO’s are both 15 weeks, and are both being really difficult to feed. They are pushing away the bottle and crying, even though they are hungry. My husband and I try and persist and they do usually eventually take the full bottle. We thought they were just too full but they then cry when they don’t have the bottle....
