Pitcher or straight in bottles

Instead of filling a pitcher all day, can I put expressed milk straight into the bottle I will feed the baby with the next day?
So was thinking washing and sterilising all the bottles I need for the next day, then put them in the fridge and as I pump pouring into the bottles so they are ready and I can see I have enough for the next day?
I know not to mix the warm and cold milk together straight away.
Just wondered if any downside to this? Was thinking less washing and sterilising of a pitcher?

No downsides Nope. I do this. I usually pump for 2 days ahead, so baby has milk from the day before yesterday. The advice on mixing temperatures has also changed. I mix temperatures when I need to

That’s what I did! Downside is if you know baby is going to take a smaller feed you may be pouring out of the bottle at the last minute so as not to waste it. I didn’t mind. Tough with one hand if you’re also holding baby but I managed even that.

Am I overreacting?

My LG goes to nursery 4 days a week (3 half days and 1 full day). We have to provide our own nappies and wipes and were told when they’re running out so we can restock, which is fine.

My issue is, the last few days, my LG has come home in a random nappy from a brand that isn’t hers and she’s started to become sore down there. When my partner brought it up to the baby room manager, her response was ‘oh well, babies are babies, it doesn’t matter and they pull them out the drawers’. For one, the drawers are high up as I’ve seen them so shouldn’t be getting pulled out and 2. If I’m providing nappies, use them because what if the persons nappies being used, can’t afford a lot?

We’ve had no issues with the nursery until this but I wonder if maybe I’m overreacting about it?

Car seats

I’m so sorry if this is a stupid question but I’ve just found out I’m pregnant with my 3rd baby. What happens with car seats in the back of the car? My other two are still in car seats they are nearly 4 & 2? Where will the new born car seat go? Am I being stupid?🤦🏽‍♀️😂😂😂

Visitors of newborn.

I’m feeling a bit anxious about having visitors after I get home from having my baby. I know a baby’s immune system is immature for the first 2 months of life and don’t want her to get any germs.

I am worried about family members turning up and not telling me their poorly like got a cough or viral thing. My question is has anyone ever visited your home and been poorly?

This will be my first C-section but third baby.

How long after your baby’s birth did you have a visitor ie close family like mum / dad /sister / brother?
