    5 week old spits up an hour later - a lot

    I have tried following all of the advice.

I try to avoid over feeding by giving him a pacifier in between bottles. However more times...

    I have some questions about this rtf formula I’m considering buying for when I come home from the hospital after birth

    So I’m on WIC and was told that the formula WIC will be approving is Gerber Gentle. I’m unsure what formula the hospital will be providing, but I’m thinking it will likely be something different from what I’ll get from WIC. Ideally I’d like to switch the baby to the WIC approved formula as...

    Mixing formula of different ages?

    Hello, we are combo-feeding our son which means that a box of formula lasts us at least 3-4 weeks. My son will soon turn 6 months and we can begin to give him "number 2" formula for 6 months+ babies. Now, I still have an unopened "number 1" formula that will probably last until he is 7 months...
