Heating Mam Bottles

Hi all,
Just a question…if anyone used the anti-colic Mam bottles, how do you heat them up? We’ve found it doesn’t really work in our bottle warmer because of the large plastic part at the bottom. This is if we’re at home. I’m not even sure what to do when we’re out and about 🙈

I’m exclusively pumping breast milk so every bottle needs to be heated as my LO doesn’t like it cold from the fridge.

Any advice or tips would be amazing!
Thank you 🫶🏻

i used to sit the bottle in a jug of hot water to warm up my breast milk (with the lid slightly unscrewed). x

I bought some reusable hospital style bottles and used them. Once warm I tipped into mam bottles. I just found this way easier. I know you can loosen the top so it doesn’t suck up water but it was just easier to use another bottle 🤷🏼‍♀️ the mam bottles are so thick it took ages to heat in hot water

Could get the portable Tommy tippee bottle warmer? It has an attachment for MAM bottles. We use this for heating our milk and we also use the anti colic bottles xx

I used to pour my milk in breast milk freezing bags so then i would just put a bag straight into a bottle warmer took me a while to figure that the bag wont melt and it takes seconds to warm it and defrost if its frozen lol i had Phillips bottle warmer.

I warm it in the plastic breastmilk bags first and then pour it in xx

We heated the pumped milk in a different bottle or in a milk storage bag x

We just started using mam and we put them in an insulated mug of hot water in the sink

Jug of hot water worked just fine for us

How about the nuby active cool. It preps to perfect temp whether home or out n about

I bought a portable bottle warmer that has adapters for several different bottles. Just screws right on to it and heats it in about 2 minutes. Found it on Amazon for like 20 bucks

We use a bottle warmer

We use the mam bottle warmer and have never had any problems with it heating milk in the mam bottles

I heat in the storage bag and then pour into the man bottles. Brilliant bottle but nightmare to heat!!

We store my pumped milk in reusable sterifeed bottles that I buy on Amazon. When out I bring a flask of hot water, a cup size Tupperware and an empty mam bottle and just heat the milk up in the sterifeed bottle before pouring into the mam.

i used to put them in a cup of hot water

or in storage bag before putting it in the mam bottle

We use this and it’s a life saver … I use the same bottles as you too xx

😭I noticed that too with them I just switched to the Philips anti colic instead

Thank you all 🙏🏻🥰

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?

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

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!

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

i just want someone to talk to😔😔😔😔

when things get hard i have nothing not any support from my partner im convinced he doesn’t even love me anymore but thats another story
I have a 3 yo and a 2yo that are in bed sleeping only just now. I have a 1 yo that’s been sleeping from 8 o’clock to 10 o’clock. I just gave her her milk and she would’ve gone back to sleep if it wasn’t that
I lost her dummy earlier in the day when I went out
so now she won’t go back to sleep and she won’t accept any of the other dummy’s i have!😔😔and it’s 10 o’clock and I’m gonna be up until 3 o’clock with her and when she does want to go to sleep i won’t have any dummy to give her she will accept and she won’t sleep without it i just wanna cry 😔i have nobody to talk to and i feel so alone i get no support from anybody i’m so tired and i don’t feel well to top it off😔
