Is anyone else’s 4 month old taking much less milk than usual? My little boy used to take 180-200ml at every feed and all of a sudden is taking 110-160ml and then refusing the bottle and getting angry. I’ve tried everything to make him take more but he just spits it out! He’s quite a big boy but I’m concerned about...

My baby will be 9 months next week, for nearly 2 months she’s been waking several times at night to feed (breastfed). She’s never done this before, maybe once at night when a newborn but not always. She’s on 3 meals a day with a feed in the morning, lunch and before bed but also 3-4 times a night 😅 My question is,…

Hey guys!! So I have a 13 month old who still isn’t holding her bottle by herself, she will hold it laying down and propped up but she is having a hard time without laying down. She will hold her bottle and keep sucking at it but hard time trying to tilt it back so she can get the milk. I been trying to help her lea...

When did you stop sterilizing baby's bottles?

Anyone with a new two year old and four month old? I don’t have the same time I did with my first to be doing one on one play and making sure they’re hitting milestones. More just trying to keep him alive because my two year old is rough (just loves him so much but has no spacial awareness lol). How are y’all making...

Hey, I’m mainly formula feeding my baby but trying to breast feed once a day and then express twice a day. It’s all a bit up and down, don’t think I’ve got into a good enough routine yet and therefore, not producing hardly anything with my Elvie stride. I have the odd time when I get around 30/40ml max! I have bee...

So I seen this in Smyth's the other day and it confused me, like they've brought out an item that boils water to put it into the flask for a ridiculous price? It's basically a kettle as a fancy machine with the Nuby rapid cool. Honestly why would you buy this... Why spent £100 for a kettle which is basically what th...

I am currently using Carobel for my LO, but I find it such a pain having to use formula and Carobel, I have been thinking of switching to an Anti-Reflux formula instead, does anyone have any experience with both and which they prefer?

So for the past two weeks my 7 week old has been hard to settle at night around his bed time at 7pm up until about 10. i use the tommee tippee advanced anti colic bottles but they don’t seem to be helping. I’ve tired switching to dr browns but he won’t take to the teat as it’s different to the tommee tippee bottle...

First time mum and baby boy is a week old. I’m getting a bit overwhelmed with working out the best way to tackle night feeds, he is formula fed. What works best for you guys in terms of making bottles?

Hiya, just a question. My little 11 month old has just gone completely off of his milk he won’t drink his whole bottles anymore and is just starting to prefer food over bottles. I don’t know if this is something normal or something I should get checked. We try to do 4 bottles of 180 ml - 210mls a day still as I kno...

What is everyone’s 9-10 month olds routine when it comes to milk and weaning/food. I feel like I’m struggling to find the balance/right amount for my lb. How many oz and when, how many meals, what kind of meals, etc?! Would love to know. I’m aware that every baby is different and has different needs. TIA 🩷🩵

hi all! we have started to introduce formula. is there a way I can pre make it so I can give the bottle straight away? does anyone have any tips? I just find it all a bit faffy. thanks 😁

What teat sizes are your LO on ? I’m currently on teat no.2 with MAM bottles however I’m not sure if I should go to 3. My LO is 10 weeks. I have been in size 2 with him since he was around 3/4 weeks

So I have a almost two month old (he’ll be two months on the 12th of this month) baby and he has been struggling to gain more weight and I feel like a terrible mother for that but I’m trying. I was feeding 2 oz in the beginning after he was born, then bumped up to 4, then bumped back down to 3 because he kept spitti...

My lo is 11mo today!🥰🥳🥹 He has 5-6oz at 7am, 11.30am, 3,30pm and 7.30pm. He has milk before solids. Which bottle to ditch and how? I'm also on last Kendamil2 tin and would like to start Kendamil3. So ditching a bottle and switching formula would likely happen at the same time. How much of Kendamil3 to give?

I took my baby to his 4 months appointment and they weighed him at 12lbs 7oz. I go back on the 10th next week to check on his weight. He was eating breastmilk an average 30oz a day. But since he isn’t where he should be weight wise, I was told to start purées and fortifying my milk. Well now he doesn’t really want t...

Me again! I’ve finally got my pepti to start with, but neither my health visitor or my doctor have given me any information of how to introduce it! Don’t you love it when you leave numerous messages but they aren’t responded to 🫠 Any tips would be so helpful - I’ve read about potentially adding alcohol free…

Hi! I’m looking for a bit of advice, this is totally me future proofing as I like to be prepared😂 My little girl is 7 weeks old, at the minute we very much sleep when needed and where needed, we feed on demand, so on and so forth. But with time flying, I’m very aware that soon we will need to introduce routine (…

Has anyone started nesting yet? I’m really hoping it kicks in soon because I could really do with something giving me a kick up the arse. The motivation is definitely harder with a toddler.
