I’m a soon to be mama 36 weeks 🥰 I would like to know the best formula for newborn. I would love to breastfeed but if I can’t I need an alternative. I have been looking at “Kendamil” organic precisely as I want something which is most natural. Please let me know what you are all using.

Girls who pump how do you work your feeds? I know you’re not meant to feed more than 4oz a feed, my boy is 3 months old on 3.5oz a feed at the moment which he has every 2-3 hours so feeds normally 6 times a day. He is ready to drop his 10.30/11 bottle, I struggle to get him to take it all & last night I just let h...

I’m exclusively pumping and Baby boy has been eating between 950-1200 ml (32-41 oz) of milk everyday… I read the daily average is between 24-33 oz for a 3 month old.

How much milk (oz) should baby be drinking after transitioning from formula?

Hi Mommies! My baby is 5 months old and only been drinking about 3-4 oz per feed (formula). She’s been using size 2 teat so we tried a bigger teat (size 3) but she is refusing it. Do you have any advice? How did your LO take a teat size up?

For the babies 5 months old… what size bottle teats is everyone on??

Has anyone had struggles with their babies and these bottles? My daughter just seems to spit it out the sides and the teets keep like clapsing in as she drinks them…

Hi Ladies, Is anyone using/planning on using Kendamil first infant formula and can advise how easy it is to get hold of in the Swansea area?

Little one 1 year old. Are you still giving your 1 year old a morning and night bottle?

My LG is 5 weeks old, and it takes her 1/1.5 hours to finish her milk. Sometimes, she doesn't even finish half of what she needs to eat and falls asleep from sucking for too long. I'm currently using a correct teat size and all (size 2 from birth and size 3 is from 3 months), but I'm not sure what the problem is. ...

Please comment if less or more 🫶🏻

So my 4 month nearly 5 month old is having 180-210 mill (6/7 oz) every 4 hours during the day so she’s having basically 4 bottles a day and then sleeping through the night. We have tried to give her the 5th bottle as nhs website advises 5-6 bottles a day during this age but she just doesn’t not want that 5th bottle....

My 3 month old isn’t gaining weight and has now dropped to the lowest centile. I’ve been told to top up with formula but little man wont take it. And if he does, he vomits. Any advice please? Stressed and anxious as my breast milk clearly isn’t enough but he’s not taking any formula.

Hi all what formula would you recommend please? Was using kendermill but heard a few bad things…
