    hello
    its reasuring to hear other peope having issues with ff, lucy never finishes her bottles except the one she has at 4am and has never had what it says on the can...even though i know its only a guide. we use heinz gold and lucy has 150mls so about 160mls when made up i think. the can says she should be having 200mls but there is no way she would drink all that.
    lucy likes her bottles warm too which is a pain some times...but usualy if im going out i take a thermos of boiled water to heat her bottles thats if i know i wont be near a microwave i make her bottles of water, keep them in the fridge then microwave them and add the formula.
    for intrests sake what bottles do you use?? we use mam ultivent

    sorry for yapping on

    Yep we use Mam Ultivent too, BPA free. There are heaps of parts to them aren't they! So frustrating sometimes, I get annoyed when they leak and I KNOW I took my time putting them together properly. Arrrggghhhhhhh!! Like the bottles though.

    I've had to start supplementing my little fella with formula and have found The NUK bottles are FANTASTIC!

    Im pretty sure they cost around $18 for three but they are designed to feel just like the nipple (the teat is quite wide) and have special air flow teats that helps to prevent colic.

    Zane is a bit of a gulper and I find with the NUK bottles he has to take his time, so obviously hes not taking in huge amounts of air. I cant say enough about how great these bottles are
