Nuby rapid cool

Does anyone have the Nuby Rapid Cool? Do you bring a flask of boiling water out with it?
Need a way of making bottles on the go and ready made milk is so expensive!
Thanks!

I have the rapid cool! It’s a LIFE SAVER! I take a digital thermal flask of freshly boiled water out (got it on Amazon) it tells you the temperature of the water so you know it’s above 70 degrees to kill bacteria in formula. I then fill my sterilised bottle with the amount of boiling water I need, e.g 5oz and then pour 4oz into rapid cool. I put the formula in the bottle and mix, then tip the cooled water from the rapid cool in and then it’s ready to drink! That way no formula goes in the rapid cool so you don’t need to sterilise every time!

I have a normal flask and nuby and do the same technique 🥰❤️

would carrying a Nuby and a not be the same as just carrying a hot flask and a cool flask? Sorry I’m super confused 😅

You need both a thermal flask and the rapid cool. You need to boiling hot water to kill the bacteria off in the formula, the rapid cool brings the rest of the water to a safe drinking temperature for baby in just a few minutes x

Do you need to sterilise the Nuby rapid cool if you only ever put boiling water in it?

I don’t think so as the boiling water would sterilise anyway. I just cold water sterilise every few uses just as precaution. I think you only need to sterilise if it’s had formula in it!

if you’re only putting boiling water in it is it really necessary to get the nubby? Would 2 different flasks not be the same? 1 with boiling water and 1 with cool boiled water?

It would probably work I’m sure a lot of people do that but I just find it more convenient and quick when trying to leave the house. X

It’s helpful to still have the nuby for at home home cos it cools down the water from the kettle in 2 minutes. I do have 2 flasks for when out and about though x

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 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

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?

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.

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. 🩵
