Sterilising dummies/soothers

Hi, 32 weeks pregnant with my first and spending the day getting to know my tommee tippee UV steriliser (as pictured). Can I put dummies/soothers in this to sterilise them? I know you can do the boiling water method but just wondering if I can pop one in while doing bottles?

Milk

my little one is only 4 months old and the last couple of weeks he hasn’t been interested in his milk like he will have 3ozs then have another 3ozs 45 mins later. I think he is getting bored of his milk. He just seems so unbothered about his milk anymore. I don’t know what to do about it. 😩😩

Refusing the bottle

My boy is 7 months and is EBF. He has taken the bottle before with no issues whether that was breast milk or formula - that was when he was around 5 months and ever since I’ve been trying to do 1-2 bottles of formula a day. Now he suddenly won’t take the bottle. He has a sip, pulls a face and refuses it. Anyone else...

Moving to cows milk

Does anyone know the “unofficial” guidance on switching to cows milk? I know they say 12m but I have about 3 days of formula left and my baby is 1 on the 17th, so I don’t really want to have to buy another tub. Any advice?

Formula feeding

I am trying to switch to full formula, but doing it slowly. My son gets a bottle at least 3-4 times a day. Usually does 3-4 ounces, mostly 4 ounces. I find that he is spitting up a lot, and it’s not forceful, but he burps and it comes out. I know that most people say spit up looks like a lot more than it actually...
