Nuby rapid cool - too hot?

Hi ladies,

Have recently bought the Nuby Rapid Cool but every time I’ve used it the baby’s bottle has been too hot?

I pour the boiling water in, invert the flask, the light goes yellow/orange and then I pour the water once the light has gone green, but baby’s bottle is still too hot to drink.

This is my second as my original did the same thing so I thought it was faulty, but now I’m thinking I’m just using it wrong?

Advice please!

I used it and I let it be green for a minute or two before I poured it for the same reason. Nuby obviously think babies can take milk hotter than anyone else thinks they should take it!

Once i’ve put the lid on, I press the button once and then again because mine would just automatically go green sometimes and then i’d press it again and it would be orange so I needed to wait, then when it went green again it was always perfect temp x

Stupid question but are you waiting the 3hrs in between? & when it goes green, turn the nuby upside down so the liquid goes on the thermometer in the lid.. it may go yellow again and then turn it back once it goes green again then it’s definitely done x

I normally just put it upside down press the button it turns yellows and then keep it upside down and just check every couple of minutes if it turns green never really had a problem x

I found it better than putting it upside down and then back the normal way as that’s when the water was too hot x

no problem. I found that works the best for me if it’s still too hot I’d ask for replacement cause it could be faulty xx

Routines?

When did you start to introduce your baby’s routine? Do they just have a night routine or full day routine? Wondering when I should start this e.g naps at the same time everyday.

Any routines you have that work for you, please let me know them with timestamps. my baby is 6 weeks and just wondering when we should start them?

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.
