Hello, my baby is now one and I am weaning him off formula/bottles. He drinks cow’s milk from his sippy cup in the daytime but at night refuses this and won’t sleep unless I give him formula in a bottle. Any tips please?

My boy is now exclusively formula fed and will be 6 weeks on Monday. He is still feeding around 8 times a day (sometimes more) how much formula should he be having per feed as the guidance on the box is for 5 feeds a day? It’s catch 22 really as I was hoping increasing his feed size might make him go longer betwee...

My 18 month old still takes a bottle with his milk. I’ve tried sippy cups, straw cups and open cups but he only likes to drink milk out of a bottle. He only drinks milk and water but he is completely okay with drinking water out of any cup. How can I get him off the bottle?

Plastic bottles and containers leach microscopic particles of plastic into our water and food 😫😩….even though the plastic says BPA free it’s still harmful…try to find the most affordable solution for your water, a home filter system, spring water directly from the source, or spring water in glass bottles…try to…

Need help if anyone can suggest some so I can try it on him thanks 😊

Hello 👋🏻 I have successfully weaned off the boob and on to formula. My baby will be 1 year jan 6th so she will only be formula fed for a couple weeks then we are switching to cow milk. I’ve been giving her a 6 oz in the morning 6 oz before a nap and 6 oz at bedtime. Am I giving her enough formula through out the…

Is anybody both breast and bottle feeding? Are you still moving up a teat size? My baby is breast and bottle fed so I’ve been advised to keep him on slowest teat. He’s now falling asleep and taking ages to finish feeds so I feel he needs moving up a size but I’m concerned it will cause issues with the breast feedin...

When did you move up from size 0 to size 1 and how did you know they needed to move up? I use mam bottles / teats if that makes a difference? X

Hello, potentiality a stupid question but a ftm about to start weaning 😅😂 … are you guys sterilising weaning equipment? Bowls, spoons etc

Is anyone using the rapid cool? Are they worth it? Any issues with them?

How much are your babies drinking in a 24 hour period? Are you following the guide or something else? If baby wakes for a night feed do you give another whole full feed?

Im planning to breastfeed exclusively… as in I will not use formula unless there is absolutely no way to feed my child otherwise. I have harvested over 20ml of colostrum most days so I have a big supply of that, so do I need to bother to buy formula for my hospital bag? Or will my colostrum be enough if anything bad...

At which times do I give antibiotics to my toddler if I have to give then 4 times a DAY (there is no need to wake a child for antibiotics). He wakes up at 9am. Could I give it every 4 hours? On the back it says give every 6 hours but when I do that I only end up giving it 3 times a day.

I’m just wondering what’s the best steriliser to use with mam bottles, I was going to get the TT uv light steriliser but heard it discolors the bottles?

Opinions please on two under two. My little one has just turned 5 months and I love the idea of a small age gap- however I am also very aware of the added stress another baby will cause. Opinions from people who have two under two and those who waited a little longer please. Anything that would need to be consider...

Anyone else’s 13 month old still on this much milk

Right now I have 5 dr brown bottles but I’m thinking maybe I should buy more… or am I being lazy ? What is your washing bottles routine?

How many ounces (on average) per day is baby drinking? I’m currently at around 30oz. But I think we’re entering a new cluster feeding stage soon. He’s acting hungrier lately and just turned 8 weeks. Also I combo feed. About 8 of the 10 feedings i do a day is breastmilk. But sometimes I can’t keep up with his demand...

When is everyone going to stop sterilising baby's bottles?

Hey guys my little one is about to turn 1 but adjusted he would only be 10.5 months. I’ve been formula feeding and not sure when to switch to milk. Should I wait til his adjusted age is 1 or when he turns 1. He’s doing really well and his growth is on the lower side of term babies. So he’s definitely caught up.
