Hey! I’m looking for a little bit of advice on which steriliser is best, I will hopefully be using Mam bottles which I know are self sterilising so do I really need a steriliser and if so which one? There’s so many it’s such a mind field 🤯🤍

My little boy is 9 days old today, but he does between 3-4oz already on his bottle. He is never content after 2-3oz which is the guideline for this age. Don’t know if it makes a difference but he weighed 8lbs8oz at birth (40+6). Very worried he’s taking too much. Anyone else’s baby drink a lot?

Hi everyone, I’m due my second baby in March - I exclusively breastfed my previously baby - I have NO clue how to make bottles at home/out and about and the whole cleaning the process. I’ve researched so much and I just get so confused. I’m so close to buying a baby brezza bottle cleaning machine that costs over £30...

He has just turned 5 months today but I would say for the last month he has refused to drink anything during the day, he will cry for a bottle like he is hungry but drink 2oz (if am lucky!) but will happily drink 5 oz every 3 hours during the night when he’s not fully awake. He has been on kendamil since birth but w...

Good morning! What formula is everyone planning on using?

If so what does your feeding routine look like day to day?

What does everyone’s food/milk routine look like? Usually we do 6am - wake up & bottle (8) 8am - breakfast 10am - snack 12pm - lunch 1.30 - bottle (5) 3 - snack 5.30 - dinner 7 - bottle (8) Recently he’s been waking up for a bottle again around 3am so I’m wondering whether to drop the first morning bottle? ...

Why does it have to be fresh water and over 1 litre in the kettle? The amount of water I’m wasting is ridiculous . Is it really that important to follow?

My baby drinks breast milk and is currently eating 5-6oz bottles. I try to give him 4 and he cries and cries for more 😂 recommended amount for breastmilk at his age is 2-3 oz. He’s 5.5weeks.

If you used Tommee tippee bottles, at what age did you change the teats? I see you can get medium flow, fast flow and an X so they can dictate flow rate. My baby is nearly 8weeks so thinking the medium flow or X will be next (maybe around 12weeks), but unsure which would be best.

Has everyone stopped sterilising or continuing after 12 months?

How much milk are your little ones having on average per day? My boy has around 1000 / 35oz just interested if this around average or a small/large amount compared to others

My three months baby is currently drinking 5 ounces of formula every 3 hours, but lately I feel that he is still hungry with 5 ounces and he doesn’t wait for the entire three hours. But I don’t want to overfeed him.

Can anyone recommend a good steriliser? Planning to breast feed but also want to get baby used to a bottle. For my first son I had an avent electric steriliser but found that lime scale built up quite quickly!

My baby is 8 weeks and drinks 150 but this past week is sucking them dry, I can’t get a definite answer off Google.. just wondering what your babies drink who are similar in age ? Wondering whether to up his feed to 180 or not, we did an 180ml bottle before bed tonight and he sucked that dry too! He’s on the 50th pe...

Hi. My baby is 1 in just over a week. A little over a week ago she was brought home from nursery with a temperature and after a hospital trip over the weekend it transpired that she had RSV. She was really poorly over the weekend but started picking up on Tuesday/Wednesday this week. When she was ill she was dri...

What teat is your 5 month old using? My boy winds S too slow but M too fast 🤦🏼‍♀️

I’m probably overthinking this but when the HV said we can stop all formula at 12m, I didn’t know if when we should start phasing in cow’s milk (and how). I’ve been cooking with it since we started weaning but baby doesn’t seem to like it on its own (I’m the same and hate milk 😂). She still has four bottles a day…

Anyone else get emotional over the small milestones? My daughter’s first night with a pillow and quilt tonight 🥹 how did everyone else find the transition?

Any plant based formula that is great? Switching from Enfamil
