Is anyone out of the fussy / itty bitty feeding stage yet? I stresses me out SO MUCH! LB will barely feed all day and then between 7-10 he’ll have 2-3 dream feeds totally about 9oz! I know it passes as he’s our second child but my god does it wind me up!

Hi ladies, just after some advice if you have any… I’ve recently been moving from breastfeeding to formula feeding. Today we had our final breastfeed (😭) but she is happy thriving and that’s all that matters. Because she was breast fed, when I first introduced a bottle I used a number 1 teat. Fast forward to now,…

Ladies, looking to see if anyone can relate or going/gone through the same. My LO - 5 days old, has jaundice, been put on a feeding plan, part breast milk with a top up of formula (50ml). We are persevering with breast feeding but not sure how much he’s getting as that is a struggle. But at least we know he’s gettin...

anyone else out there who is giving formula bottles in the day and then boobing the feeds before bed, overnight and first thing in the morning? Just wondering how much formula you’re giving in the daytime as we’ve just transitioned from EBF and it’s hard to find any combi advice…

Can someone please help me out? I mix the water with the formula, and it looks like this. Why???? Any suggestions

What dosage are people giving in Calpol now thier toddlers are turning 2… my LB turns 2 tomorrow and I noticed the Calpol says the dosage can increase…. But he’s a tiny 2 year old only 10kg…. But worried I’d be giving him too much if I were to follow the guidelines on the box. But at the same time want to make sure ...

Heya, would it be considered normal for my 3rd may 23 baby to be able to count to 20 and count backwards from 10?

My lo has 7 bottles in 24hrs usually 6oz ranging from 2-4 hours but doesn’t always drink the whole six. Is this too much??

Hi all, How often is your little ones feeding and ounces they are on? My LB is having roughly 5 feeds in 24 hours but he fluctuates so much with the ounces he takes sometimes he’ll take 6oz then other times he’ll have 3oz and goes roughly every 4 hours Thanks

It’s getting slightly ridiculous now. It’s not distraction because it’s happening at night with his eyes closed. He gulps 2 seconds, spits the teat out, rests for 2 seconds then routes for it, and the sane routine happens making a 5 minute feeding session 30 mins. He’s having 4 oz Breast milk so I don’t think teat s...

I have a 4-month-old daughter and have always wanted two kids close in age. Lately, I’ve been thinking about when the best time would be to try for another. Part of me loves the idea of them growing up close, but I also know it would be a huge challenge—especially in the newborn stage. For those who have done 2 und...

So we waited to introduce food to 6mo. We only just started purées. I want to start adding in more food... do you/do they decrease bottle intake when you do? What should I expect...

Any recommendations on bottle warmers pls for breast milk .

Are they worth it? Which brand do you like? My baby boy is very windy and cries a lot so I am trying to find solutions to make him feel better 😔

Hi my LG has just been prescribed nutramigen and I was looking at the instructions on how to make it up. It says to leave the boiled water to cool to room temp. I always did fridge method with aptamil and let the boiled water cool but still above 70 degrees to kill the bacteria in the formula. Does this not apply to...

Hey all! How much milk are we giving our one year olds and how many times? We still doing first thing and bedtime bottles but she’s still cranky in the middle of the day for a bottle, although I try to combat giving her milk with snacks or water instead. Just not sure when to drop her to 1 bottle a day?

How's everyone timing everything at the moment? I remember this being a tough stage now that I'm reminded of how it was with my first. Constantly one thing after another. At the moment we're doing: 7/730am 8oz milk 11am lunch -puree/lumpy then 8oz milk 3/4pm tea, usually porridge or Weetabix, followed by 8oz mil...

My little one is 10 weeks old and we introduced a bottle fairly early on which she took well and did after that every few days. We didn’t give one for around 10 days (life got in the way with my first and a hectic home life) and now she is completely refusing to have it. My first would never take one and I’m a bit a...

When do you know to change from 0 to 1?

Hello ladies, what steriliser is everyone using or plan to use? I was quite set on the Vital Baby UV steriliser but I’ve recently saw that UV is the only method that the NHS does not recommend so now I am unsure. I’m looking for one that makes life easier such as sterilising and drying! So I’m thinking steamer. I’v...
