Sophie the Giraffe Teether - Cleaning

Does anyone have the Sophie the Giraffe teether and if so, how do you clean it? It says not to sterilise which I’m quite shocked about considering they chew on it and put it in their mouths!🦒

I use a cold steriliser so just chuck it in there and any other plastic toys too!

I just wash mine in the sink with washing up liquid to clean it then let it air dry x

You can't sterilize it because of the hole if water gets inside it will grow mold. What I do to clean it is take it to the sink and put my thumb tightly over the hole to make sure water doesn't get inside and then I wash it with baby bottle dish soap and rinse well. At the end if you squeeze it and it squeaks normally then you did a good job of not letting water in.

If you have a UV (water free) sterilizer you could use that.

You could also wipe it down with the munchkin pacifier wipes but because its going in babys mouth i wouldn't use wipes with any harsh chemicals.

I also agree with what said for cleaning. You can use a disinfecting wipe or spray that is safe for food contact surfaces that doesn’t need to be wiped/rinsed off first. I would spot test an area to make sure it doesn’t take off the paint on the teether first. Daycares and preschools have to disinfect mouthed items/toys everyday.

As above or wash and freeze it. Freezing it kills germs and it’s nice and cold for those teething moments x

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?
