We bottle fed before bed till he was 15months as we thought keeping him on the bottle will make our long haul flights easier.. which it did. But now that we're back and dumped the bottle. He doesn't take milk any other way except for in his morning porridge! Which means he isn't getting enough calcium. We give him s...

We have some MAM anti colic bottles which we are eager to start using, but need suggestions on how to heat them up! We would rather not buy a bottle warmer if possible :)

My baby is formula fed has had issues with formula from day one, he gets really bad eczema and uncomfortable tummy. We are seeing a dietician and trying a milk free formula since it might be a milk protein allergy. He’s 4 months and only drinking 2oz at a time. Because of this he’s on the 0.4 percentile for weight a...

Since I started weaning my baby will drink so much less formula milk even though he doesn’t want to eat anything (solids). We’ve tried so so many different foods and food combos and he just refuses to eat anything. He doesn’t wanna drink water either. But he’ll drink so much less formula and I don’t understand why.

My 7-week-old baby has been drinking 120ml (4 ounces) every 3 hours and usually finishes the bottle. She uses MAM bottle with a size 1 teat and drinks Aptamil formula. Recently, I increased her amount to 150ml (5 ounces), but she has started refusing the bottle, pushing it away, and falling asleep during feeds. I s...

I’m using Mam bottles and my LO just turned one month and Im still on teat size 0 Wondering if I should change to size 1?

Little one is 2 weeks in to leap 4 and he’s started getting fussy at the bottle which is normal for him. My concern is his milk intake as he’s refusing his milk. He’s had 260ml today instead of 500ish ml. At what point should I be concerned he’s not drinking enough?

Do we sterilise sippy cups for water? 😂

Is there anywhere that accepts unopened formula tubs for donation in Portsmouth? I have: 2 x Hipp Organic 2 2 x Hipp Anti Reflux 4 x SMA Alfamino It would be a shame for it to go to waste when I'm sure there are plenty in need x

Sounds silly but is Philadelphia soft cream cheese safe in pregnancy? It’s made with pasteurised milk

I have just moved my baby exclusively to formula, she is 16 weeks old. She was combi fed from pretty much birth, started 90% breast milk and the rest formula and I’ve progressively moved her more towards formula; in the past week she has been exclusively on formula. Since then she has shown signs of constipation - g...

Help ! Has anyone gone cold turkey how long till it got better

My baby is 3 weeks old and seems to cry all night long even when all his needs have been met. I've tried Infacol and Dentinox colic drops and nothing seems to be helping. It's my second baby. He's fed expressed breast milk in a MAM bottle and has Kendamil formula. I'm up crying as well because I just don't know wh...

Do any actually work

Has been throwing up his milk after every bottle idk if it’s his milk ( formula ) or it it’s breast milk. Or he’s eating to much 🤦🏽‍♀️ below is the formula he’s on … he’s been so fussy lately to

Does anyone have their combi feeding from birth schedule? I know every baby is different but just so we have a rough idea 🥰 Can you do every other bottle formula? Can you offer formula till your milk comes in and then start introducing pumped milk?

Has anyone moved away from mam bottles now baby is bigger? I'm thinking about changing to tommee tippee as they're easier to clean/less bits but worried about wind and whether it's too soon to change him to a new teat etc. we have only just started weaning about 10 days ago and going slowly

Does anyone know what to look for when you should be upping formula - currently 10 weeks - 5oz every 3 - 3:30 hours - but goes longer stretches during nighttime -

When making up a bottle of formula do you fry the sterilised bottles I use man or leave water in and make up a bottle
