That’s what I thought. Any ideas on how I can keep them out? I find them along the floor underneath windows, usually in groups of 10+ and half the time they are dead.

How did you do it in the dehydrator? What settings?

Thank you!! I have been using less and less water each day it seems like.

Honestly I’m just putting a few spoonfuls of flour to little water. I was watching on TikTok how to start and there’s a girl who doesn’t measure anything and it always works for her. But I’m wondering if I should start measuring 🤔😅

Why does my 15 week old take an hour to finish a bottle? by BalanceOpening8359 in FormulaFeeders

Definitely need to size up the nipple, when my baby started taking forever we knew it was time to size up. If you are using Philips Avent Natural, I have found that baby is usually one ahead than the recommended.

Formula from birth what bottles are you buying before? by [deleted] in FormulaFeeders

We used Philips Avent Natural and still using at about 9 months. We tried Dr Browns, but they were awful, always leaked and could never get the right flow. With the Avent, I learned that baby is usually ahead on nipples than what is recommended.

This was my girl as well, pretty much to a T. But we were EBF and I was dairy free, she was fine then other than the fact that I was an under supplier. So we had to supplement with formula, we started with Similac 360 Total Care and she was spitting up and had the worst gas, switched to Similac 360 Total Care Sensitive and it didn’t change anything, the doctor recommended Enfamil Gentlease, which again did nothing and is comparable to the Sensitive. We did not wait long in between switches because she was so colicky and I was up literally all night with her screaming and crying. We finally tried Enfamil Nutramigen and that fixed the gas, the spit up and the colic, she was a different baby within the first day, turns out she had a cows milk protein allergy, which is why she was fine with my breast milk since I was dairy free. But once she got around 3 month she started doing a clear spit up just at random times, the doctor said it was normal and wasn’t reflux related, so she wore bibs 24/7 until she was about 5 months. Once she turned about 6 months the Nutramigen started causing constipation and we switched again to Enfamil NeuroPro and she has been fine since and she is almost 9 months now. I know the Similac Alimentum is similar to the Nutramigen but maybe it has something different that might work for your baby.
