January 2026 Babies 🇬🇧

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method? Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask? My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

Baby boy is 9 weeks on Sunday, he’s so sicky after every bottle and his poo’s smell sour, hes generally fine in himself not fussy or anything but is anyone else’s little one like this? He takes 6oz every 4hrs and will not take any less, I’ve tried smaller bottles and more often feeds but he’s so unsettled doing it this way, and he still spews after every bottle. Rather than doing one big poo he does wet trumps constantly and tiny little poos that smell rotten!

Not the best pic and clearer in person. Is this normal? I've not had any sex since having my LO but I've had strong cravings, sense of smell is strong and my hair still hasnt started to fall out. Im 7 weeks pp so 🤷‍♀️ I wouldnt normally bother testing but with those symptoms that I never really have its like whats going on. Cravings for something very specific too and can only get from KFC now 😩 so its annoying

Hi girls!! I have been breastfeeding my 7 week old baby the whole time, but then I got mastitis which turned into an abscess and had to stop feeding from one breast. He was fine on just one and gained weight nicely but suddenly since last week he is in a breastfeeding strike. He will scream every time I try to breastfeed, but will drink out of the bottle or calm down with a dummy. I have tried everything, sometimes I can get him to latch for 10 minutes but then he refuses out of nowhere. I can’t seem to pump enough milk to give him 150ml every feed. I have started introducing formula but I feel so guilty. Sorry for the rant I just need to see if anyone has gone through a feeding strike and if any of you ladies have formula fed, are the babies doing fine? Do they gain too much weight from it? Sorry for all the questions, first time mom here!

Anyone using the nuby rapid cool? Just bought one and dunno how I feel about it (not used it yet) how are yous cleaning it? I’ve put the base in the steamer but the lid says it can’t go in there…I have bought the Nuby UV steriliser which is made for the rapid cool but NHS advises against UV sterilisation?
