My baby is breastfed however with many teeth coming in they have been biting! I have a bottle that holds up to 150ml but the instructions on the tin and online only say how to make 180ml. Is there a way to make the smaller amount or do I have to make it in a mug and get rid of the extra 30ml?
Thanks

Its 1 scoop to each 1oz/30mls
So 2 scoops to 2oz/60mls
3 to 3oz/90mls
4 to 4oz/120mls
Etc, etc

Have you tried any methods to stop the biting? That could help.

@dementedpixie thank you! Very helpful, surely they could write it like that on the tin😅
@Garman the baby only bites when their mouth hurts not on purpose so there's not much I can do to stop it when it happens, once the teeth are cut feeding is fine again alhamdulillah

Do you want to continue BFing @LrrrRulerOfOmicronPerceI8? Have you called one of the BFing Helplines to see if they can offer you some support with the biting?

If you do want to transition to FFing, a BFC on one of the helplines can help you to come up with a plan Smile

@BunnyRuddington yes, I am still breastfeeding, just wanted formula milk for when the baby is biting a lot and tired and hungry (can only eat themselves to sleep)
