Moms Do your prefer Glass or plastic mam bottle ?

My baby is 6 weeks old and I'm not sure if she's eating enough? I can see that on the formula tub it says that for her weight and age she should be eating around 5oz (150ml) but she doesn't most of the times? Sometimes she'll eat 120ml and sometimes 60ml and almost always falls asleep while feeding. I'm worried she'...

My little boy still wakes up once in the night around 5am then has another 4 bottles during the day but can be really hit or miss today he has only really been drinking 3/4oz on each bottle even though it’s ...

So much conflicting advice online

I currently use mam bottles and teats for my 8 week old. I have noticed that he's taking a while to finish bottles sometimes approx 30 mins to finish between 3-5oz. He also dribbles milk sometimes with the newborn teat. So I have changed to the size 2 which is recommend for babies of 2 months and if they're showing ...

How many bottles is your baby still on a day (if they are)? X

For anyone using mam bottles, how many have you got/are you getting and which flow teat? I’ve got 3 with a 0 teat (super slow) and a handful of 1 teats but wondering if this will be too fast for baby to begin with. Do I need to get more 0 teats? Thanks!!

My LO turns 1 this weekend. I'm a FTM... So I'm really sorry for this question, as I'm sure it's already posted. But I'm anxious and wanna make sure I'm doing this right... Currently LO is on x3 8oz bottles a day. We've been doing cows milk transition slowly - such as 4oz formula and 4oz cows milk & no issues which...

My baby is a week off being 6 months… he wakes for 2 feeds a night, I’m just curious as to what other people’s babies are having?

Hi all, my 14 week baby has a few minutes of breast + 4oz (120ml) formula every 3 hours during the day, with a last feed at 8pm. Baby sleeps until 4:30am, wakes for a feed and sleeps until 8am. Roughly 7 feeds in 24hrs. I see some babies are drinking alot more quantity but less frequently. Any tips on feed timings ...

Curious to know. Mine is 2.5 and she ocassionally uses it. Edit: we only use it when she's eating.

how many oz is your baby drinking per bottle, how long does it take for them to finish the bottle and how many bottles a day?

What’s everyone using for an alternative for dairy free milk at night? I cut diary out my toddlers diet but I give him goats milk number 3 still in the evening, his skin is still not clearing, it’s been nearly 3 weeks. I’m starting to think I will have to cut this out too.

Just wondering how much milk your little ones have and how often? My boy is 8 weeks old and still only has 2/3oz every 2/3 hours between sometimes he can finish the 4 but very rarely x

Hey mamas, i have a active nearly 2 year old and 7 months old. How does everyone get ready without panicking? I still haven't figured it out and I need some tips/ hacks. I'm also a single mum so i can't just leave them but also love to glam up which I find hard to do when there's 2 little ones to look after. I just ...

So being a ftm I did not realize people wash and sterilize their bottles and pump parts. I’ve been feeding with bottles I’ve hand washed with extremely hot water and that’s been it. I also just wash my pump parts. Is sterilizing actually necessary? In addition have I been messing up my baby the past 4 weeks of his l...
