My baby is 1 in 2 weeks and last couple of weeks, I have been weaning him onto cows milk, (mixing formula and milk together, slowing increasing milk and decreasing formula). He takes about 240ml in morning and again before bed. Is this too much to be giving him for cows milk? As he would have had this amount in each...

My baby only takes to Mam bottles, but I am struggling to find a dummy that he takes to. I have tried different types but no luck. When he wakes in the night he has the bottle but not always for food. I need to find a dummy with a similar teet to a Mam bottle

Formula only mamas!!! How many bottles are you giving a day? My daughter gets 4 a day roughly every 4 hours starting around 7am. The past two weeks she's been hit or miss with the 3pm bottle with barely drinking it. She still gets 3 meals a day plus a snack or two. Is it safe to say knock her down to 3 bottles a day...

Hi all, Has anyone travelled with baby yet? We’re planning on having a little trip for what would’ve been my grandmas 80th, only to Whitby (it was my grandmas fave place!). Not concerned about the travel or being there etc as my boy is really good regardless. However, just worried about sterilising his bottles when...

Has anyone seen an improvement in their baby after switching to the comfort version of their formula? I think my baby has a sensitivity to milk, but I’m not sure I would go as far as saying an allergy (I may be wrong though!), so was advised comfort milk might help as it’s reduced lactose?

Think my girl is getting frustrated with the flow of milk from her bottle. She squirms, thrusts and then loses interest. She’s on the MAM fast flow 3 and can’t find a 4. My question is, what teats are faster flow than fit the MAM bottles or can anyone suggest an alternative drinking vessel. I don’t want to buy new ...

Anyone else’s one year year-old not drink milk? I’m making sure she has two portions of calcium a day instead. Don’t know how I can get her used to milk as I would like her to have it as extra calcium x

Right so my boy is 12 months now and I’m getting rid of the steriliser. Should I be changing his bottles to something else? We use dr brown at the moment. But I don’t know if I should be changing them now to something different. He only really has bottles before bed and 1 in the night and one before his afternoon n...
