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

After seeing my HV this week for 1 year review they have told me I need to reduce bottles and introduce more snacks. Is anyone able to please share their feeding times please? E.g wake up bottle, breakfast at 8, snack at 11, lunch at 1, bottle at 4, dinner and bed. We’re currently still on 4 bottles a day but I ca...

Does anyone use a prep machine (Tommee Tippee in particular) to prepare bottles for their premature baby? I have twins who were born at 31 weeks who are 8 weeks old now (corrected age 39 weeks gestation) and I’m really struggling with the constantly prepping bottles using the kettle. They are both responsive feed...

My baby is 3 days old, I’m not able to fully breastfeed him but want to make use of it, and add some formula feeds in there. Any good combination feeding routines that helped any of you? 🤍

Hey everyone! Just wondering which baby formula you all use and what it’s like for stock? I’ve been reading about the formula shortages sometimes and it makes me worried for when I have my baby, finding one that agrees with her and also is in stock, and isn’t too financially draining lol! I do plan to breastfeed h...

Good morning. I would like to figure out how to increase my supply again. My son started to slow down on nursing because he started to sleep through the night at 5 months and whenever I would try to wake him up to feed, he would refuse. He’s currently on a non-dairy formula and dislikes it. He still wants to nurse,...

Hi all, I’m 27 weeks and I’ve got pretty much everything ready for baby to arrive however when do I sterilise the bottles and dummies? I’ve seen people say they’ve done it by now and then others saying wait until right before baby’s here Any advice?

Hi, trying to wean my ebf 7 month old onto a bottle, so far unsuccessfully! Any tips or tricks to help baby understand and take the bottle? 🍼💛

Gave him a ready to feed Kendamil at 5am; he drank half of it. 4 hours later at 9am I just fed him the remaining 150ml!!!!!! I had made a brand new bottle but got confused as they were both on the bed and accidentally fed him the old bottle. I’m so worried; what shall I do???! Will he be ok? You’re supposed to disca...

When did you stop giving bottles I still give my 17 month old a bottle of formula before bed 30 mins before then brush her teeth

She eats from our plates as she throws everything on the floor when we give her her own food & I don't think it's much that she's eating when eating from our plates but she stops when she's had enough. Does she still need the nutrients from formula or is it okay to just stick to cow's milk now? I've been slowly int...

What are your thoughts about a 4 month old in the 98th percentile weight?

Hiya, my LB (12 weeks) is drinking from MAM bottles and is still using a teat 1. How do I introduce the teat 2? I have tried previously, and he gets very upset as the flow is too fast.

How many bottles should I need when I have my baby

My little one is 6.5months on BLW im sterilising her bottles but she's crawling around, she kicks the floor puts all sorts in her mouth and even licks the dogs, try to stop her as much as we can but you know babies she's been fine with it. But why am I steril...
