Nuby Rapid Cool

That’s how I do it so it doesn’t need sterilising in-between bottles and can be used numerous times when out and about all day!

That’s how I do it too, easiest way I think to make a bottle whilst out x

Yeah. I absolutely love mine x

This is how I do it - so much easier as you don’t need to sterilise as said above. Takes about 3 hours I think to reset before you can use it again.

I thibk they are great but unsure on the 'hot shot' method as how do you know its enough hot watet to kill any bacteria?! It is annoying only being able to use them once though

Thanks for the reassurance all - definitely makes sense to use it just for water so you can reuse it rather than one use if doing formula in the nuby bottle!

When I move up a bottle I do a test on the prep machine and measure what it gives out

for the hot shot amount? Good idea!

yep! I tried to Google it and really struggled so figured that was the best way! X

great thanks! So you use the exact same method I said above with the hot shot etc? I might buy one! Do you leave it for 3 hours between each feed so that it resets? X

yes. The only difference is I measure the bottle water out first (so I can use the measure on the side of the bottle) as I find it hard to read the measurements in the nuby. It steams up so isn’t the easiest to read. Once I’ve transferred that into the nuby and then do the hotshot amount. So for example a 5oz bottle… I measure 4 oz in the bottle and pour into nuby, I then measure an oz and do the hot shot, wait for nuby and then bottle made. I’ll be honest, I didn’t know this 3 hour reset was a thing 🤣 I don’t think I have used it more than once in 3 hours mind!

ah thanks this is super helpful! I have wanted to use it like this but didn’t have the confidence as it wasn’t the way the instructions said so I’m glad other mums are doing it too as it makes much more sense! Do you use mam bottles? I do and its really hard to see what an ounce is but i guess i could use the lid as the measurements are on that :)

i burnt my fingers a few times doing it in the lid 🤣 I am using MAM, 1 oz is level with the coloured bit at the bottle, like to the ridge. If that makes sense? X

oo thanks! You are super helpful haha!

do you use a normal flask for the hot water? If so, do you sterilise that? Do you sterilise your nuby bottle?

yeah I’ve just got a normal flask. I don’t sterilise the flask because I figure it’s hot water from the kettle and I would pour that straight into the bottle. My thought process is I don’t sterilise the kettle… that may not necessarily be right. I do sterilise the nuby, I’m not sure why… it only has boiled water in it (same as the flask) but I use a cold water steriliser and just shove it in for the 15 mins then put it back in the bag. I think I just did it once and now it’s habit!

Definitely worth buying love ours!

very true!

Do you all sterilise your nuby bottles even though its just had boiling water in there?

I just use one flask with boiled water. and one flask of cool boiled water and does the Same thing but saves buying a rapid cool and faff of waiting for the rapid cool to work

I do the hot shot method and I’m wondering if people sterilise them too, I usually sterilise them after using them by just filling them up with kettle water and leaving them sit for around 10 mins, although sometimes the water inside cools straight away (as this is what it’s meant to do) so unsure if it actually sterilises them but I don’t do cold water solutions or anything. I figured that as only water is going in the flask it shouldn’t need thorough sterilsation, my little one is 10 weeks old and I’ve been doing it this way since he was born and (touch wood) he’s never been ill xx

This is how we make all our bottles even at home, it’s so quick. I only sterilise the nuby if I don’t do the hot shot method. I just fill it with cold water and add a quarter of a Milton tablet x

okay so if you just put water in the nuby you don’t sterilise it, you just wash it up like normal?

yeah just wash it with fairy liquid x

do you sterilise your milk powder pots? And do you pour boiling hot water straight from the kettle into the nuby? I read somewhere it should be 70 degrees but how can you check with kettle/flask water?

No i don’t sterilise the powder pots. Just hot soapy water. yes you can pour straight from the kettle. i just brought a good flask for boiling water on the go and seems to stay hot for a good few hours. No problems so far and my girl is nearly 7 weeks x

thank you! 😃

I used to sterilise my milk pots but I put a post on here and everyone said as the milk isn’t actuslly sterile anyway it’s no point as the hot water kills the bacteria from the milk anyway, so now I just wash them out with hot soapy water and fill from there, my little one is 11 weeks and haven’t had any problems doing it this way. Yeah I pour straight boiling water from the kettle x
