I’ve never been one for BLW. My LG loves to eat and will eat (anything and everything) so the blender has been my best friend up to press lol. I also feel overwhelmed with what to make her or give her. Anyways today has felt like a success! Prepped- egg muffins, tomato to purée ham and DF cheese wheels and flapj...

Hi, my baby is exclusively breastfed but trying to introduce a bottle. She won't take a bottle with breast milk but she will take formula. She will only take about 90mls though but I see they are supposed to take about 150mls-180mls, but she doesn't want anymore. Will this be ok? I only want her to have a bottle now...

Hi all, Out of interest when it comes to fill the water in a bottle maker do you add fresh water each feed or fill it to the top. With the water sitting in there is it safe to do that? We tend to add water an hour before feed and at night before we go to bed but only what we require. We give it a good clean we...

We’ve been given lots of second hand bottles from family members that are all used but seem in good condition, just need a good clean and ofc sterilising. I’m just wondering if they are safe to use if I buy new teats, or if it’s better just to throw them away and buy new? I’m hoping to breastfeed but thinking we’ll ...

I’m not sure if this milk is okay, it has little bits in and leaves a lot of residue in bottle

Did you do purees or BLW & what were the pros/cons of either?

What kind of formula do you guys use? I really don’t like the thought of corn syrup being the main ingredient.

Do you prepare the formula with tap water or bottled water?

How many oz is everyone’s 6/7 week olds having per feed? Mine seems to be draining 6oz bottles and it feels likes that’s a lot for a baby her age

How do you mamas make up bottles in the night?

Are people still sterilising bottles/dummies/anything!? I am but I’m not sure I need to anymore. She’s eating food and pretty much anything she gets her hands on goes in her mouth

Hi, just wondered if anyone else is struggling to get Hipp Organic formula?

Just out of interest how many bottles is everyone on and how many oz?

Has anyone had any experience of going from breast feeding to formula feeding? My baby will take a bottle of breast milk no problem but is refusing to have formula. I am so so exhausted from breast feeding (I always wanted to do it for 6 months, which I've achieved) and when I pump my output is so small that I have ...

My LG is just 5mo. We are still using the size 2 teats! Anyone got any experience with these? Would you recommend teat 3 or just jumping to the one above that? And does it make a huge amount of difference. I pump and pre prepare bottles so I have so many bottles- replacing all the teats is so expensive I just want t...

Hi ☺️ I have 10 cans of Bobbie formula that are completely unopened from my last Bobbie monthly subscription. My baby boy turned 1 in the beginning of February and since then he’s transitioned successfully to drinking whole milk. Is there any mom’s in need of formula? I’m giving them away completely free, you would ...

My little boy just will not go more than 2.5/3 hours between feeds. Is this normal? Usually 2.5 hours, very rarely makes it to 3! He can do a long stretch at night about 5/6 hours. I see a lot of mums say their babies are going 4 hours or more between feeds. He usually has 5oz because we have had to reduce it due to...

Hi, my nearly nine month old is formula fed and recently it is painful feeding him he just refuses and only wants solids. Please help!!

My 13wk old is formula fed and tends to naturally end around every 4 hours (+/- 1 hour). I have signed up to sensory classes and am wondering how you manage feeding around classes/plans. I don't want him to be feeding during the class as that feels like a waste. We're not really in any sort of schedule at the moment...

When recording/timing feeds, do you time from when you start feeding or when you finish? My baby will have an ounce or two then 20 min later want an other ounce. Does this equate to one feed or two? I'm going to start to try and record to try and get into a routine somewhat.
