Including rough times and how many milk/ solid feeds?

I’m off to Greece in a few weeks, how does it work taking formula through customs? Am I able to take a pre-made bottle through or would I need to pour it out prior to out to adhere to the 100ml rule? Additionally am I okay to take the formula in the formula pots through? I’ve never travelled with a baby and finding ...

Hey, just looking for some advice as I’m trying to wean my baby off breast onto bottle and I’m finding he’s only drinking around 10-15 ounces in the day. He still has breast in the night as he wakes up quite a bit and in the morning a good full feed but I’m reading they should be getting around 24 ounces per day. Is...

Has anyone ever dealt with a newborn (1 month old) that only wants to drink 2 to 3 ounces ONLY every 3 to 4 hours?? He doesn't really seem to be interested in eating and he is OVERLY tired. Can barely stay awake during feedings...what was wrong??

Hey just wondering what size teats people are using? My little girl is 12 weeks old but with most of her bottles she has a few mouthfuls then turns away from the bottle, she is currently on size 2 🤷🏻‍♀️

We’ve been using the Phillips avent straw cups for little ones water and he’s fine with them. The HV said we need to start transitioning away from normal bottles for milk now and then once onto sippy style, move onto cows milk instead of formula. So I’m probably overthinking this but what bottles is everyone going f...

I know 1-3oz every 2-3 hours is normal, but just curious what everyone’s babies *actually* did at 3 weeks old! Sometimes I get discouraged because my son will once in a while eat like 4oz in one sitting, and then other times I can barely get 1-2oz in him (he’s such a sleep baby, I have to do everything in my power t...

my baby is 3 weeks and my GP has given the go ahead to start anti reflux Aptamil formula as baby keeps throwing up with normal formula. Is anyone’s little one on this formula so early on? I’m kinda freaking out.

Hi all, I was wondering for all the formula feb babies, how much milk do they consume each feed. My baby can’t do more than max 5oz. Most of the time 4oz ! Thanks in advance

Hi, My baby is bottle fed using formula and breast milk. When he has formula he settles and sleeps straight after. We give him the same oz’a using breast milk and he doesn’t seem satisfied. Any one know why this might be?

Hi ladies, I only microwave sterilise at home and we’re planning on taking a collapsible bucket and Milton tablets to sterilise bottles while away. How often does the solution need to be changed? And what’s the ratio of water to tablet? (I know it says on the packet but I haven’t bought yet and just making plans...

What age do you stop sanitising your little one’s bottles or do you always have to do that?

Hey there mamas, I’m having a hard time switching my baby from formula to whole milk, I know I don’t really have to, and honestly I didn’t want to give her any milk, she does eat yogurt,cheese and other stuff but I tried to take the morning and night formula bottle (the last left) and she isn’t adjusting well, so I ...

I’ve recently brought a 330ml Mam bottle but can’t find anywhere online which shows how to sterilise it in the microwave? I’ve always sterilised the smaller size bottles in the microwave but the bottom of the bigger size bottles don’t twist off? I’ve searched google and YouTube and can’t find how??

So my prep machine is the bane of my existence right now dispensing the incorrect amount of water when using it. I got it second hand so lesson learned there. I'm trying to figure out how to best make feeds. I could buy a new machine that isn't faulty I could buy the rapid cool but would also need to buy a steri...

Hi all, just wondering how many bottles your little ones are on now? What times are they having the milk and how many oz’s etc? TIA

My 8 month old is ebf. However, I have noticed a huge drop in my milk supply, and it’s making me really anxious worrying whether he is getting enough. I have tried introducing formula, namely aptamil, he is just refusing. Any tips?
