formula feeders

I’m 6 weeks in and have decided to switch to formula. The decision largely comes for mental health issues but also a little bit due to baby girls transfer issues/tongue tie. I’ve been keeping one foot in the door of trying to make BFing work, but my gut is telling me I’m not going to be in a...

Hey everyone just wondering if anyone can help out . So my baby brezza just stopped heating up water so I have a new unit on the way under warranty… My daughters just going onto stage 3 formula until her next doctors appointment just to make sure the doctor is comfortable with her being...

Has anyone else’s baby been going through a phase of not wanting to eat their milk? We haven’t been giving much solids so I don’t think it’s that. He normally has around 36oz a day. Today he had a total of 19.5. I’m freaking out. I know he just started teething again bc he’s drooling like crazy...

My daughter is a week shy of 11m and has been 99% percentile for weight for about 2 months now (25lbs). She’s what I’d consider a great eater and loves solids. Three meals a day with crackers and pouches to keep her happy inbetween. My concern is that she’s cut down drastically on her formula...

What setting/mode do I put it on? For similac sensitive orange can. Not the pro can.

Is it the machine? Do wE just need to make sure to shake the bottles? Been using it for 4 weeks. Noticing it in the last few days EDIT: powder not floating. I meant clumps of it on the bottles wall

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-...

Our LO, 5 weeks, was having constipation. Our pediatrician recommend we check if the Brezza was giving too much formula / too little water. So I ran some tests with a food scale. Bobbie calls for 8.6g for every 2 oz of water. My results: on setting #5, on average, the Brezza produced 9.7g of...

Hi! I am wondering if it is normal for my 2 weeks old to drink every 2 hours? I was told that EFF babies drink with more longer stretches (like 3-4 hours). She drinks like 40-60ml max each time. Thanks!

FTM here with a 32w6d premature baby who is now almost 5 months old (happy & healthy). She’s currently mix-fed and for her formula, we mix it with infant water (either Nursery Water or Gerber brand, both w/o fluoride). My question is: Is there really any difference with these waters marketed...

OK, I’ve been having some weird variances with the baby Brezza formula advanced pro. In short, the issue is over dispensing of water and slight under dispensing of formula. So it seems that if I want 4 ounces of formula I think I figure out the issue. When I was weighing the amount of water...

My son is 12.5 months old, and we've finally begun the process of weaning to whole milk and away from bottles. I'm a little overwhelmed. My plan was to replace bottle feeds with solids and 4 oz of whole milk, but my LO doesn't like milk as much as I expected. I introduced it to him slowly by...

Hey everyone! LO is 5 months old and has cmpa. Currently he is excluisvely breastfed (dairy free diet) and we are looking to transition to formula. We have tried Hipp HA and alimentum rtf, but both have triggered eczema and rashes. Does anyone have any experience with "ELSE Plant-Based Complete...

Hi! Has anyone experienced overfeeding? We went to the doctor today for certain symptoms, and we were told she is most likely being overfed & to change the nipple size. She was on size 1 nipple and was eating 5 oz. She did always seem to be uncomfortable with a lot of gas, bloating, and gagging...

Please help. My LO is almost 7 weeks and we have been prescribed aptamil pepti 1 for CMPA. We previously used nutramigen which was easy to prep as it used cooled / cold boiled water. The instruction on this new one say you must add it to boiled water then cool it under running water and make...

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...
