Nuby rapid cool sterilising

Brought a Nuby today just wondering how everyone sterilises the flask and lid? (Im planning to only use boiling water inside to make feeds)
Heard people use cold water sterilising by adding milton tablet and water in to the flask and shake but wondering how others do this?

Cold water sterilising works well and your only ever putting in boiled water so it’s always clean enough. I don’t ever make the formula and cool it, I do the hot shot way and cool the rest of the water so the rapid cool could be used more than once if needed.

also how long after using it can you use it again? the reset time confuses me. Do you have to wait 3 hours for use even after cold water sterilising??

Yes three hours as it has to cool down

Does it need sterilising if used the hot shot way? I haven’t been as I assumed no need as it’s just water

I use my tommee tippee steam steriliser at night to do the flask and hot soapy water and a bottle brush to get into the groves on the lid. Inbetween I use soapy water and bottle brush as you're always adding sterile boiled water to it during the day. I have 3, I bought just the rapid cool and then when I realised how handy they are, I bought thr set with 2 and a flask. You can pick used ones up on vinted for around £15/20 if you want more than one x x

so flask in the steriliser and the lid just washed with water and soap, right?

@Hodan yeah that's what I've been doing for the past couple of months with no issues, they say that you can sterilise the lids in the Milton cold water steriliser and the flask in an electric one. I also just wash with soap in-between uses during the day (as the hot water will be sterile for the next bottle) and only sterilise them at the end of the day x x

does this mean if I just put water in the flask and do the hot shot like you don’t need to sterilise it after every use as it hasn’t had formula in just do it at the end of day?xx

Not sure what’s wrong- 5months

Has anyone experienced any of the below problems with their baby?
He’s always a happy baby so this is completely not him. He’s a terrible sleeper but now it’s worse, if it could.

He’s was EBF but now on formula for the last 2 weeks. 2 days in a row now he’s vomitted a lot of milk out everywhere in the evening and just before bed.
For example I was walking around the room with him around 18:45 and it just came out of no where everywhere.

He’s very miserable and takes ages to get to sleep. Crying lots.
He’s been dribbling a lot, flushed one cheek but I can’t see any teeth coming.

All night he just won’t settle in his cot. Sometimes just starts crying hysterically and I can’t settle him at all.

A very tired mama.

Any advise on what it could be?

Help

My 5 week old is always up from 1am every hour grunting and squeaking and just won’t sleep. I end up having to bring him with me and I’m worried I’m creating a rod for my own back. I’m exhausted. First half of the night he’s okish. But from 1/2 it’s absolute hell. He farts a lot then as well but I just dunno what to do. Last night was the worst it’s been.

Side sleeping baby!

My little dude is 4.5 months old— he sleeps the best when he is on his side and when we pat his back. Whenever he shifts or moves to his back, he is much more likely to wake up (he’s already not sleeping much these days😅)

Do any of you have any suggestions for what works best for your little side sleepers to stay on their side? Or any items you use to help pat/move them overnight so you can also sleep?😅 TIA!
