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?

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.

I’m trying to find the right formula for my 10month old. Really struggling as he doesn’t really like food 😩 I’ve tried all the weaning options. SMA gives him constipation, Kendermil gives him really bad diarrhoea so does cow & gate. I’m thinking Aptamil how do you guys get in with that?

How much does your LO drink and how often? My little boy is drinking 4oz every 2.5-3 hours still

Was given go ahead to start collecting at 37 weeks. I was looking into the haaka kit, and I am just confused. If I start at 37 weeks 3 times a day and say baby comes at 40 weeks, how am I supposed to collect it all. The syringes are 5ml I believe, and I’m sure most tries I won’t get 5, but how do I store it all? If ...

I need advice on how to wean my 16 month old off bottles. That’s his comfort and it has been sooo hard trying to get him off them. I have tried all of doctors/dentist methods and they don’t work!!

Hows everyone washing their bottles? With soap or just water and brush? And then sterilise them?

So my baby is 14 months and i have been considering a second child for a while. Im thinking of trying again around the time she is 18 months which would mean a 27 month age gap. My first baby will be 2 years and 3 months. Has anyone got a similar dynamic and how hard is it. what are the pros and cons?

Is the lid on the nuby rapid cool waterproof? So it can be washed as well as the bottle?

He’s healthy and good weight but just doesn’t drink a lot of milk and he’s an awful sleeper but is it because he’s not having enough milk x

I will be taking ready made starter pack milk but just wanted to know what resources they had at the RUH for sterilising bottles if I bring them, incase baby doesn’t get on with the teats in the starter pack?

Wic doesn’t cover the formula my baby needs so that’s 10 cans they credit me with that don’t get bought any ideas how to get the cans I need ?

My little one was born six weeks early and is combi fed. She just turned six months, and I only just noticed Aptamil has a different formula from 6 months! Should I switch her to the stage two milk now, or wait till her corrected age of six months?

Just wondering how much your little ones feed/fed at 1 month old, such as how often and how much at a time, I’m formula feeding and my baby doesn’t seem to want any more than previous weeks so just wanted some advice and experience!

How many oz are you feeding your 5month old reflux baby at one time??

I have 6 mini bottles of starter pack ready made formula (kendamil) with sterilised teats which I’ll be taking to the hospital and using the first day. Each bottle is 70ml. Do they drink a full 70ml the first day or do I half that mini bottle?
