Are the numbers on the lid of a mam bottle there to tell u how much is left? I poured the remaining milk left of my babies bottle into the lid and it reaches the 10 the first number at the bottom does this mean that’s there’s 10ml left? PLEASE SOMEONE EXPLAIN 😭😩😩

I've just bought the milton soother steriliser where you add the mini milton tablets in to the cold water. My question is if baby uses the soother can I put it back in the water or do I need to empty the water after 1 use and do it again?

Does anyone know why the mam bottle teats get sucked in when baby drinks the milk. Thai has happened before. Stopped for a while and now it’s doing it again! I’m so confused

My 1yr old has officially not wanted any formula so I started with milk, she still doesn’t take it. She still breastfeeds but any recommendations on getting her to drink milk especially since I’m considering weening her off the breast.

What teat is your baby on at 11 weeks?

My little boy is 10 months old and refuses formula for the last month I can get about 6oz of milk I’m him a day he just refuses it and screams and cries, I’ve tried different bottles etc! I spoke with my health visitor and she said it’s fine she isn’t worried cause he’s a good eater and gaining weight and to give hi...

I am trying to introduce a bottle to my little girl (again) , just wondering what size teat to use ?

Hey all! Baby girl arrived 10/6/24. We brought colostrum tickets the hospital and thankfully didn't need to use it but now I am trying to find ways to use it so it isn't wasted. Any easy ways you can think of? Can adults use it?

I am bout to call the health visitor but, basically my little one has been crying all night and will only settle on me (nearly 5 months and we’ve been through the colic and reflux bits so I know it’s not that) he’s always been good at sleeping, has been crying all morning; drinking his milk then crying again, I have...

How many milk feeds is your little one having within 24 hours?

My little boy has been on pepti 1 since he was 2 months old and has done really really well on it. We have been doing the milk ladder for the last two months, and again doing really well. However we went to yogurt the other day and just let’s say he is still doing terrible wet sharts multiple times a day. This had b...

My LO is 7 months and I’ve been wanting to switch to fully bottle feeding as I feel like my milk isn’t filling her up much. But I don’t know how much oz to give her per feed as scared I’ll over feed her. I’m not quite sure how much milk she needs at this age as she’s also on solids/purées three times a day

Can I prep the same as regular formula? So hot shot? And same rules so can make it in advance, 2 hrs out the fridge, 24 in the fridge etc…?

Ive just purchased a Tommee Tippee day and night prep machine as I’ve heard it’s so handy for the night feeds. We use MAM bottles and my little boy takes 5oz. We’ve just made up a feed to test and followed all the instructions but it’s seems to have filled up to around 6oz once the bottle has been made. I understa...

He isn't a huge boy, only just going into 9 to 12 month clothes and was 18lb 3 3 weeks ago. I know need to switch...

Is there anyone on here who is bottle feeding and using cold water sterilisation? If you are, how do you manage taking bottles out for the day? The instructions on Milton say to use the bottle immediately but that’s not always practical if you’re out and about 🤦🏻‍♀️

Our baby is 6 months. He is in the 1 percentile for weight at like 13.6 pounds and the 60th percentile for height. My husband is worried he doesn't weigh enough. Baby was exclusively breastfed. Now that I'm back at work he has 2 bottles (One breastmilk and one high calorie formula) and I'm pumping 2 times at work wh...

How on earth do you stop the teat from pissing out milk? I use teat number 2 but the flow is a constant stream for the first few times

Hi All I’m finding how and when to give cows milk a little confusing atm. I keep hearing we need to be reducing the number of bottles we give but then how do you ensure your child has sufficient nutrients? Is there a minimum or maximum? My little one has started nursery recently and I drop her off soon after she ...
