Can I give ready brek to my 6 month old?

Struggling to get hold of kendamil milk . Not able to order any on the website. Really hope they aren’t discontinued:(

Any working tips please on how to get a 3 month old to accept a bottle again? I’ve been EBFing but whenever I need to leave the house for a few hours, nobody else can feed the little one as she wouldn’t take the bottle at all. Tried all kinds of brands and different teats and still a no-go. She was fine with taking ...

Hey ladies, Just wanted to share something that’s worked for me! 🥳 Fennel tea has really helped increase my milk supply and reduced my baby’s gas. 🍼🍼 I’ve been drinking a cup of it every day, and it’s been a game-changer. I use fennel seeds and make the tea at home—my mom actually started making it for me in…

My Little boy is 9 days old and i desperately want to exclusively breastfeed. However I am not producing enough milk. He feeds for around 20mins each time and sometimes it’s 40mins and he’s crying for more. When he is still hungry we top him up with formula and he’s then content but I want to be able to produce enou...

Does it count as milk intake if I make my LO oatmeal from the leftovers she doesn't drink?

After hearing about this new milk scandal. I am worried. 1. Because I have drank soooo much milk in my pregnancy so I’m worried it’s harmed baby 2. Is cow and gate formula affected too ? Or is it all just lies (this is the best outcome) 🤣

So my little one is 1 (I AM NOT READY 😭) in 3 weeks, when do you start phasing out the formula and go onto whole milk? **He is currently on 3 8oz bottles a day **

We give 1 weetabix or 10g of porridge with 50ml milk but some days she cries when it’s finished like she wants more. It seems like a lot to me but am I giving her enough?

How many bottles of milk does your little one have a day?

Post jabs, do you need to sterilise the calpol syringe? I’ve just been washing in warm soapy water and now concerned I should’ve sterilised as everything else as this age is (3 month old) thanks ☺️

Hello mamas, my little boy turned 1 on Thanksgiving day! And I actually don’t have our 12 month checkup until after the new year, but our WIC starts us out Dec w/ whole milk & no formula. So I have two cans left and I’m going to try to transition over. My question is, will the feeding times be less then formula? I’m...

Hey ladies, was wondering has anyone started the transition from formula/breast milk to whole milk? Have been told various times recently to start doing it, tried giving baby girl some yesterday and today but she has been teething and had a cold so idk if it’s that the reason as to why she doesn’t like it or not. Sh...

Hey mama’s I was wondering when do you increase your LO milk? My mom keeps telling me to increase it a little bit each week but I thought it was based off of how much your baby weights. My 4 month old is 14 lbs so he be getting about 35 oz in a 24 hour period. He is gaining weight and his pediatrician has no problem...

Long story short; my supply sucks and it's getting worse. I feel it's because he had a lip and tongue tie for the first 10 weeks of his life when I was trying to establish my milk supply. Anyway, my baby drinks 6 ounces every 3 hours, eats purees for lunch and dinner. I pump at 10 am and 1 pm at work. Today I got 2 ...

Hello, I’m looking for advice when and how much milk should our babies be having at 18 months old? I’ve looked online and can’t see what’s ‘normal’ when do the drop morning/bedtime bottle?

I’ve got 2 small bottles I’m wondering if I should buy a few more? How long do you use the small bottles for

I'm planning on changing to combi feeding with my 11 week old. He has been exclusively breastfed up until this point so I have no idea how much formula to give him, I know the box of formula says 6 ounces, that just seems like a lot so I was wondering how many ounces other babies are taking at this age?

Does anyone know what the teat size is on the Mam bottle that is free with the boots parenting club? I threw away the box and my LO seems to guzzle at the bottle so wonder if she maybe needs a smaller teat but I’m not sure if the bottle already has the smallest one

We’re starting to introduce a bottle of expressed milk to our 7 week old so that I can leave him with dad for a few hours but I’m really stuck on how to know how much to give him. This morning we offered him 5oz which he gulped down and immediately wanted more, so I put him on the boob and he fed for another 5 mins....
