👋 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...

Hey! My baby is 6weeks old I was wondering how many oz’s are your little ones drinking? Also when do you know to upgrade from a 0 sized teet to a number 1?

Hello! My fussy gal will only take warm milk, I express BM but when we’re out and about it’s cold because it’s from the fridge. Any recommendations for good portable warmers that aren’t £££? Thanks!

Hi, I have a 5 week old and we are currently using test size 0 (mam bottles) because she has reflux, but she is taking ages to finish the bottle and often getting frustrated, has anyone changed to teat size 1 at this age/ with a baby with reflux?

Hi my baby is 18 days old, I had a very complicated labour and was stuck in hospital 11 days so he was on Kendamil ready made bottles, as I couldn’t wasn’t able to BF. once we got discharged we put him on kendamil formula, so it’s been a week now, I’m finding he is constipated and in discomfort since 2 days. I spok...

How have people managed to wean baby off formula? My little boy is 11 months and still having around 16-21oz a day and only drinks about 3-4oz of water a day.

So my baby (18 weeks old) is EBF but he’s becoming so hard and distracted on the breast and I’m getting at that stage where I’m getting super stressed feeding him in public which is obviously not helping with his feeding. I’ve been wanting to switch to giving him some bottles which he had here and there in the past...

Looking to start weaning next week, baby is 5.5 months and will be 6 months in 17th Oct - would you still be sterilising weaning equipment or not? I know bottles are recommended up to 12 months but I think that is because of the formula? Is that right? Thanks!

If anyone is combi-feeding do you find that your baby drinks way more pumped breast milk than formula?

4 month old is having 6 7oz bottles a day. Is this too much? If you look it up it says a 4 month old should be having no more than 32 ounces in total a day 🙈

Anyone who is using Kendamil, seeing as the first infant milk is almost impossible to get hold of at the moment, what is everyone using instead..

Hello ladies, We have the Tommee Tippee prep machine and when we have been out we have been buying the pre-made bottles which are pricey. Can I take formula in a formula pot and a bottle with the water from the machine (how you’d normally make it at home) and combine whilst out? She can then either have it warme...

Hi all I am breast and formula feeding but wanting to just breast feed, I'm worried baby boy isn't getting enough from breast as almost after ever breast feed (every 1.5-3hrs) he's needing a top up of 2oz formula, is this normal? Could my supply be too low for him? I'll carry on offering breast first then bottle bu...

When do we change milk bottles to those sippy cups for milk? Or do we continue using bottles until 1? My little boy won’t hold his bottle, but will happily sip away holding his water sippy cup!

Can anyone share their experiences on this formula? Did bubs take to it ok?

My son is 10months, 1week and I’m thinking to introduce little bits of cows milk here and there for him to drink throughout the day. (I already use cows milk in his omelettes and for his weetabix/porridge) He has formula and still has 3 bottles a day (as well as food) so I’m wondering shall I put some cows milk int...

Tomorrow I’m booked for my frozen embryo transfer. I’ve been using a hot water bottle on my tummy with the hope of increasing blood flow to uterus and my lining is thick enough. I was hoping to do the same after the transfer, with the hope of encouraging implantation. I know I’m meant to avoid hot showers, saunas et...

Help. I was an exclusive pumping and stopped at 10 1/2 months and have been using freezer stash ever since. But My baby boy is refusing formula. He is 1 year and 2 weeks so I’ve also tried to milk with cows whole milk. But he screams and turns his head away. And the thing is a few months ago I had to supplement as I...
