Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Feeding

I just realised I've been using formula after a month of opening. Is this harmful at all? I literally use it once in a blue moon so seems a waste to throw it away. I EBF and only use formula when my mum is babysitting for a few hours (very rarely). Thanks

Has anyone else found their baby to be even more unsettled on nee formula? We have tried nutramigen and she went on hunger strike, tried aptamil pepti 1 and she would take a little but then spit up so we are now on SMA Althera and I’m still mixing it with her normal milk because for the last 2 days (she’s been on it...

So my LO is feeding every 2 hours, 4 oz formula, she will go 6 hours after her bottle at 12/1 am. For the past day or 2 she's started getting hungry after an hour and a half. Is it safe to give her 5oz already? She's 10 pounds. I don't want to over feed her but she's getting hungry way before the 2 hour mark, I've t...

My son has been on aptamil advance and I always thought it smelled and tasted weird. Went to Germany for a few weeks and tried German aptamil duoadvance which is the most advanced version and it actually tasted and smelled sooo nice! Now back to uk have to use uk version. Thinking of swapping to Kendamil organic as ...

My question is can you overfeed your baby formula? Unfortunately after a very traumatic birth with an emergency c-section and hemmorage losing three litres of blood I was forced to combination feed because my supply was low. I am feeding 75% formula my baby keeps crying all the time like she's in pain , arching back...

my baby is a week old tomorrow, and we are currently combi feeding, I spend pretty much the whole day breastfeeding and the late evening she has formula, I feel like she doesn't quite get enough from me in the evenings yet to really fall asleep ): i also had a c-section so im not sure if that is affecting my supply,...

According to my judgmental mother, I’m feeding my child too much. My October baby is my second and he was born 8ibs, never lost his birth weight and has continued to grow at a fast rate. At 4 weeks he was 11ibs😭! 0-3 months is very snug now so he’s in 3-6 month clothing. I express my breastmilk and give one…

My little boy has been constipated for a few days now and doctor has prescribed lactulose syrup to be given twice daily although baby doesn’t like taking it from the syringe. Does anyone know if I can mix the lactulose solution in with bottle of formula and give it that way?

For those whose are formula feeding, how much are you giving per feed? My little girl is 8 days old and often draining 120mls every 3-4 hours and then still looking around for more an hour or so later. She was 8lbs 8oz at birth and only dropped 4% since

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?
