formula feeders

my little guy (5 months) has used dr browns since coming home from the hospital. i kid you not he rejects EVERY other type of bottle. he took MAM for a while and also lansinoh but it was short lived. i desperately want to switch him to avent bottles, i have a bunch and i’m so tired of washing...

Hey everyone! My babies (twins b/g) are 8 weeks old and I have been using the Philips Avent natural bottles to feed them. I bought a couple of 4bottle packs which contain 2 bottles with flow size 1 nipples and the remaining 2 bottles with flow size 2. Both babies are still taking flow size 1 and...

I have 11 week 4 day old twins. We have always combo fed; tandem breastfeeding then topping off with formula. Twin B has been a challenge. He has always struggled with BF (weak suction, poor latch from restricted oral tissue). He cries because he’s frustrated with not being able to be efficient...

UPDATE: GONE Hi all, I have 2 x can's of Aussie Bubs Stage 2 (6 - 12 months) Organic formula that we won't use to pass on. I'd hate to see it go to waste, especially when there are shortages! I'm based in NYC, but happy to post if you can cover the shipping fee. The cans are unopened and expire...

Checked on a whim and was able to order 3 packs of 6 - 8oz bottles for shipping to home. For some reason it didn’t show up on the find my formula app so thought I’d post here! Will delete this once it’s out of stock. Here’s a link (hope it’s allowed)...

Our 5 week old has started having extremely fussy daytime feedings. She squirms and cries/screams as we try to feed her. We've tried different feeding positions, frequent breaks, different bottles/nipples, gas drops, everything. On the other hand, nighttime feedings go great. She'll have a...

I am obsessive over how many oz my baby eats per day, especially after a period of her not “gaining enough” between 1 and 2 months (she was gaining 19.7 g per day when doctor wanted her at 20-30 g per day). She’s now 3.5 months and had a good gain at her last weight check (20 oz in 3 weeks-...

Baby is just about to be 9 months. Suddenly this past week has been HELL trying to bottle feed her. Normally she’d drink 6-8oz of formula 4x a day with 3 meals. Now she’s flat out refusing a bottle and cups with milk in them. Pediatrician not concerned and said not much I can do if she’s not...

Looking for solid recommendations/favorites from the group. What are you using that you/your baby loves?! Yea I know every baby is different - just looking for the tried and trusted options so I can narrow down the pool of research I’m doing to find what could fit my baby.

I’m a FTM due in January and am delivering at a “Baby-Friendly Hospital.” I’m planning to exclusively formula feed from birth and am really worried about the experience I’ll have there with pressure to breastfeed and access (or lack thereof) to formula to feed my baby. After my labor and newborn...

Anyone with experience with Gentlease and Nutramigen? My son is on Gentlease and minus some thicker stool he’s been fine. He has just been very fussy lately which I think is a growth spurt, because when we initially switched to Gentlease it was a night and day difference! He did not do well on...

FTM, 37+2 (located in US, Florida) I have a question about c-sections and micro biome when exclusively formula feeding. As of now baby girl is still in breech position so OB is scheduling a c-section in case she doesn’t turn. It didn’t occur to me how babies develop their micro biome during...

Hey everyone. I just wanted to share one of the best things I ever did for batch making formula. It has saved me a ridiculous amount of time, and I know for sure I’m getting exactly the right amount of formula in every single batch. First off, I bought a Dr Browns Formula Mixer. They’re like...

My daughter is about 7 weeks old and we have began to notice some fussiness, gas, long feeding times, etc. over the past week or two. She has loved the NUK bottles/nipples and that has been our go-to the #1 is the nipple and recently thought it might be time for #2 based on her above reactions...

A properly formed scoop of formula is important for the nutrition of your baby and can help your formula stretch farther during the shortage. For this experiment, I used a jewelry scale as it was more accurate to the tenth of a gram than my kitchen scale and tape and a marker to create the line...

I would be so grateful if anyone with experience of Baby Friendly Initiative training could fill in this short survey for my PhD. Just follow this link https://livpsych.eu.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_eM22o3WMnt1EO6G Many thanks!

Hi everyone! I recently switched my 12w/o son (8 w/o corrected) to Kendamil after finishing three months on Similac 360 RTF (RTF was at the recommendation of the pediatrician for 3 months since he was a preemie). He’s had the Kendamil for two days now and loves it! But, he has had yellow...

Hoping for some advice while we wait on a dr appt. My 7 week old was on Similac 360 total care & I noticed it made her extremely gassy and uncomfortable. She switched to Gentlease and it helped tremendously with gas issues, but it’s so thin that she spits up horribly on it)3-4 times after every...

Currently 28 weeks pregnant, and my doctor just gave me an insurance order for a breast pump. I’m fairly confident that I will switch to formula at around 4-6 weeks, as I have to go back to work at around 10 weeks and baby will be going to day care, and the idea of pumping literally is already...

Our baby boy is 7 months old. We changed his pediatrician recently because we were very dissatisfied with the former one as he used to give a lot of conflicting advice and had our baby do a lot of unnecessary tests “just to be sure” when our baby is perfectly healthy but simply on the smaller...
