Community Posts, Tips & Support on Baby Feeding

We are due in a few weeks time, and wondered if any mums out there might have any advice or tips that helped them for the first few weeks/months? 😊

Hi mamas who formula feed. We've been using ready to drink but now it's getting too expensive and we'd like to move to powder. As it's prime day, loads of gadgets are on offer on Amazon that help with prepping the formula. Does anyone have any recommendations? I've heard good things about both the nuby rapid cool an...

My baby takes ages to finish her bottle. It can take her an hour to finish 5oz and she stops and starts a lot. She’s 10 weeks and is on size 1 MAM teats. I have tried her on the size 2’s but she coughs and splutters and it comes out the sides of her mouth. Just looking for advice / similar experiences. Pic for att...

I’ve been wanting to stop pumping (I EP) so I’m trying to get my son on formula but he HATES it!!! I could almost cry, I don’t know what to do since my supply is dropping and he gags with the formula I’ve tried. I’m trying the byheart brand and have heard so many good results from it. Any mamas get their babies to d...

To anyone who had used this bottle what are your opinions

Anyone else feel like they are losing to the top up formulas? Baby no. 2, and going into week 2 of BFing. Latch is shallow, nipples are sore and cracked/fissures, feels like lightning everytime he latches. We had to start formula top ups last week because he was losing too much weight. Since then my supply has ...

My little one is 6 months old - I’m constantly struggling to get the first infant milk anywhere. So I’m going to put her on the number 2 milk of Kendamil, do I need to transition her on to it? Or can I just start it straight the way?

My daughter is 2 weeks and currently smashing 4oz every 2-3 hours. Recently after her feeds she is still showing signs of hunger and that she wants more. Surely she is too young to be giving 150ml right now? Does anyone have any advice on what I should do? TIA

How much is everyone’s 1 year olds drinking? Mine has 8oz in morning 6oz around 2ish and 8oz before bed Is this too much?

Heyy, Just wondering how many oz your baby’s take throughout the day? Roughly how many bottles a day are they having? Interesting to know people with baby’s roughly same age as mine. She’s going to be 4 months next week💗

How has everyone weaned off the night bottle ?

Can anyone tell me minimum whole milk amount to give when baby turns 1 (found all different amounts online) and when sort clarification from my health visitor they didn't know 😂?

Hi mamas, I'm trying to ween my 1yo off of formula during the day to whole milk... he absolutely hates it and it's the end of the world, lol. What are some things that you are trying to help ween or what brand milk are you getting? I just got generic whole milk but i'm thinking of getting the Horizons new developmen...

My LO is 6 weeks this Saturday and has been having around 4oz. More often than not he does finish but not all the time. If he's not crying after finishing should I stay at 4 oz or increase? Dont want to overfeed and think the recommendation is to stay at 4oz for his age for a while

I’ve breast fed my daughter for 5 months and I’m looking to stop, she does take 1 bottle of formula every now and again but I have no idea where to start & how much to give her? Can anyone please point me in the right direction Thanks

Hi guys, What do you use to descale your electric sterilisers? And how long do you need to switch steriliser on for to descale bases? I have the tommee tippee electric steriliser and the mam electric steriliser.

Mom on a budget. Anyone know why the Kirkland (Costco) formula is so much cheaper? If you have any opinions on it please let me know. I’d love to save some money but I wonder why it’s so much less money 🤨
