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 🤨
Just wondering if anyone is using ready to feed formula? I’m combo feeding and currently doing a mix of express, nursing and ready to feed formula bottles. Not sure if and when I’m going to switch to powder since it’s so convenient…
I only sent my first child 1 day a week at 9 months old, he’s only just started 2 days a week at 2, but because of the government hours I’m thinking of sending my second 2/3 days a week at 11 months old. Is this too much? What is everybody else’s experiences with this?
My LO is 9.5m and currently has 4 milk feeds and 3 meals (lunch tends to be quite small still). He has a milk feed upon waking each morning and after his 2 naps and then a bedtime one: 7am milk 8am breakfast 10.30/ 11am milk 12.30 lunch 3/3.30 milk 5/5.30 dinner 6.30 milk This currently works well for us but I w...
For the ladies who are choosing formula, what formula are you going to choose? For my first I had SMA as that’s what they had at the hospital but also because at the time it was the cheapest that I could afford. I’d like to know what your choosing and your reason? (I will also be expressing breast milk, this is just...
Hi all , I’ve decided to make the swop from breastfeeding to formula, I spoke to my midwife about this who said to do it gradually, So I started with one bottle for a couple of days and have been upping it every other day , today she will go on to 3 bottles of formula, my midwife originally advised to start with 3...
anyone else’s baby completely refusing cows milk? i’ve been trying to introduce it slowly but any bottle with any cows milk in at all even if it’s mostly formula she’ll refuse it. Any tips pls?
After switching from formula to cow’s milk ,(switched it slowly) my baby has become so gassy. And it affects his night sleep so much. I give him 1 morning and 1 before bedtime. How can I cope with this? Should I switch lactose free milk or something? Xx
Could I get some opinions on bottle sterilisers please? Which do people most refer and which should I stay clear of?
My little boy has colic and is so unhappy I’m looking at changing his milk he’s currently on aptamil but no idea what to change to? I’ve looked into comfort milks for colic but unsure as to what brand. Has anyone switched formula?
And how much?
How much formula and how often are your LOs having?
I recently switched to the Dr browns 8 oz bottles but they don’t fit in my mom cozy bottle warmer with the nipple on so I’ve been heating them up without the lid or green colic attachment. Is water getting in the bottle from the steam that heats the milk? Is there something different I should be doing? Help!
Why does formula change to “follow on milk” at 6 months? I didn’t even realise and was going to just keep giving my baby the usual “first milk” formula. Now that she is 6 months do I need to change to the next formula?
So I thought we were the lucky ones and Dr Browns bottles weren’t going to leak, but here we are😅 Drives me CRAZY! What bottles are similar to the Dr Browns Narrow Bottles?!🥴
How long did everyone continue to sanitize bottle and bottle parts? Your girl is tired lol
I've never sterilised with Milton before and just bought some today. It says to rinse after 15mins..surely this will make the bottles unsterile again? I have a bottle of the Milton liquid and on the front it says 'new instructions' so I'm wondering if the rinsing part is new as when I Google it everything says you d...
👋 My baby is 15 weeks, he was drinking 6oz of milk every 3 hours, he got very upset when his feed was finished so the last two days upped his milk to 7oz, sometimes he drinks it all sometimes he doesn’t, I can’t help but feel this is a lot of milk for a 15 week old? He sleeps through the night 10pm to around…
Is anyone using the Tommee Tippee Prep Machine? My sister has given me hers. I know it’s not recommended by the nhs which worries me but seems soooo much more convenient. Also, another one for convenience, how are people formula feeding when out and about? I’ve just spotted the Rapid Cool Baby Bottle Maker which lo...
I've read online we should be dropping the bottle (of formula) I use the toddler milk (stage 3). 8oz. Before bedtime and in the morning after breakfast so I can have a shower and not have either run out room or bang on door (we have toys in bathroom but her laying and having bottle is what works for us). My little o...
