Pen for size reference. (Ignore the tape residue on my desk)

I genuinely have no idea what to do... I'm hoping someone has had something similar/can suggest ideas My baby boy is 5.5 months old. Always been a big bottle lover - always been fed with the same formula, and guzzled it. I'm talking 40oz+ in a day. Last week he started screaming every time I tried to feed him. I t...

Ok I need some advice. My baby was premature (34 + 4 weeks) and weighed 2.06kg at birth. He is now 6 weeks and weighed 3kg about a week ago. Following the weight guidance on formula boxes, I give him 90ml of formula every time I give him a bottle and other times I nurse him or give expressed milk (again about 90ml)....

My little boy just isn’t interested in his milk anymore since having food, the only full bottle he will drink is when he wakes up which is 7oz, he has breakfast and dinner haven’t started giving him tea yet, but I’m just a bit worried as he used to love his milk so much and has now suddenly gone off it. He also dri...

My daughter is currently on the SMA anti reflux milk, just thinking about how and when to transition her back to normal milk, would she be ok to try the little sma cartons at first instead of buying a whole formula tub? Don’t want to waste it incase she still needs the reflux milk If anyone has done a transition fr...

I go back to work in a few weeks and LO won’t take a bottle! He used to, but then stopped. My husband has tried alll the tricks. What worked for everyone else?

Mums with 2 under 2, how are you coping with routine throughout the day for your toddler? Are we all just muddling through atm or has someone figured out how to manage solo parenting bath/bedtimes?! 😭😣

When do babies start to respond to their names?

Seen a few reviews on the milton cold water steriliser and how the bottles and dummies smell bleachy when they’ve come out of the steriliser, anyone know if this is ok to use still or do they need a rise because on the official video it says no need to rinse ?

Hi all. My baby is a month old and we're using Mam bottles and cow and gate milk. Over the last two days my baby hasn't drunk enough formula, he usually has around 100ml-120ml but his been only having around 50-70ml. When I try and give him the bottle again to continue feeding, he puts it out and gags (like I've...

My LO is just over 3w old and we've been using Kendamil. He seems so uncomfortable and gassy all the time, I've tried MAM and Dr Brown bottles but no difference - I'm thinking the Kendamil is too rich, he isn't being sick or anything but is always trying to squeeze out farts. He's doing on average around one big poo...

How do you sterilise bottles and formula feed in Turkey? Any advice is much appreciated, thank you x

My LG is 7 months old and is still using size 2 teats, we tried her with size 3 when she was 4 months old as suggested and a few times after again and she just doesn't like it. Will she be okay staying on size 2 or would anyone suggest skipping size 3 and going straight for size X now she's older? Thanks

Where is everyone's baby at developmentally? Rolling? Sitting? Standing? Walking? Foods? Holding bottle? Ect.?

Please help me mummas 🥺 Venting and asking for advice/reassurance I think 😬 My little boy will be 4 months in a few days and it’s such a struggle to get him to take enough milk (he’s formula fed). He’s so fussy now. He’ll push the bottle out of his mouth, bat it away with his hands, just flat out refuse to open…

FTM, my son is 8 months, we ended up decreasing his bottles to from 5ozto 4oz because he wasn't finishing them. He drinks about 5 bottles a day. Is 20oz of milk a day still okay for him? He is eating solids 3 times a day. I just want to make sure he's getting what he needs. Pic of my boy so it doesn't get lost

I’m introducing formula for the night time feeds but baby isn’t taking it so well and even with winding attempts is spitting it back. He’s EBF - but from expressed milk as he has always struggled latching on for full feeds as he was prem - but I’m struggling to meet his demand now so need formula to help me out espe...

I have a strictly breastfed baby(5mo) and i might be going back to work in the next month or two, so I need to get my baby use to a bottle. Long story short… he hates them. I’ve gone though a couple different types of bottles and nipples. I’m now on the Tommee tippee bottles which he will tolerate for about an ounce...

Please can somebody help? I have been exclusively breastfeeding for 10 months now and have had to start giving formula as I’m not feeling well and taking medication that I’m worried would pass on to baby. Please could someone tell me how much milk he should be having?

What’s your little ones height? We last checked our babies height about 6 weeks ago (my parents have a cute height chart thing to see all the grandchildren grow 😊) but her height hasn’t changed in that time. Is this normal? She’s 75cm and 15 months old.
