Has anyone used a UV steriliser for their pump parts? I am too scared to try and wondering if any mums has tried this and worked. I am getting tired of washing, boiling, air drying them. Help a mama out. Thank you.

Does anyone know what the difference is between these other than the price?

I'm transitioning from MaM bottles and recently bought the Dr Brown's Milestones Narrow Sippy Straw Bottle, but he's not taking it very well, what bottles do you use for your LO?

Is purified water fine? Or avoid if it has additives Or use distilled water?

Hey, baby is 3 weeks old today (but 7 weeks premature) I’ve been using size 0 mam teat but feel like his been on 60ml for a while now and he doesn’t always finish his bottle but seems like his having to suck quite hard, how do I know when to move him to size 1? X

so my 16 week old was EBF until like 3 weeks ago when we introduced my husband giving her a bottle of formula every night (after much persistence over the past few months and her refusing) - she has been taking it really well, however today and tonight she completely refused it and just wanted to feed from me! reall...

How much milk is your baby drinking? Formula or breast if expressed

Anybody else feel like they are constantly chasing their 1 year old around trying to get them to drink? We are moving from formula in a bottle to milk in a cup and it’s so hard to get him to drink enough to make up for his bottles! We also offer water of course. Any tips?

Hey, am looking to intro some formula and heard Kendamil is good but I can only get hold of the goat formula. Anyone used it?!

My little girl is three weeks old today and Shez currently feeding on 5oz ( 150ml) on formula at every feed , really wondering how much Shez going to end up taking by 4 weeks old cos I’m currently using the jul perfect start bottle set and it has only the 150ml and the 300 ml bottle set , and she feeds every 2 and h...

Does anyone have a bottle steriliser that also dries? I know it will be an investment but I feel like I spend my life washing sterilising and drying bottles. They never seem to air dry completely either. So wondering if it’s worth getting one that dries too.

Our 1st child is 15 months, and we're deciding whether to have a 2nd. If we do, we'd prefer sooner because we're both a bit older (37f, 43m) to minimise complications. For me, the idea of repeating the 1st year of babyhood is quite unappealing, as it is very demanding full time and even more so with a toddler. I l...

5 1/2 week old baby. How many ounces are/were they on? Hours?

I'm packing my hospital bag and want to take a dummy just incase. If I sterilise is now and put it in a dummy case will this stay sterile up until I need to use it? I'm due in 3 weeks.

Up until about a month ago she was having up to 4 bottles a day. But food has really taken over (she’s a food monster, loves her food!) and drinks water well with no issues. But it’s hard to always fit the third bottle in in the day unless I cut down her food times / food in take. Or add a bottle and sleep feed her...

Someone mentioned to me apparently we should be changing their bottle after 6 months as they can degrade or plastic particles or something or other. We have been using the 240ml MAM bottles for about or just over 6 months now. (The ones you wash and then self sterilise them in microwave). Should I be buying new bo...

Suggestions please… I am looking for an app/website/book that gives you info on baby development by age. I’m not necessarily looking for a tracking app as I am worried I would get too bothered if he didn’t do something on time, but just somewhere that says ‘in month 2 babies should do x, here’s how you can help d...

Hi mums! Would like your help. I am currently using tommee tippee bottles and UV steriliser. I have decided I want to try Dr Browns Glass bottles due to the smell that I couldn’t get rid off and discolouration on the plastic ones. Would it be okay for glass bottles to be in UV steriliser? Many thanks and you ar...

Is anyone breastfeeding and giving formula as well while LOs having solids? When do you breastfeed and when do you give formula and how many ml formula do you give??? Will the formula affect his solid intake? I’ve been EBF for a couple months now but I want to wean off breastfeeding so would like to introduce form...
