Wash Basin for Pumping

Keep it clean

Did you know that using a dedicated wash basin for your pump parts and baby dishes can help prevent exposure to harmful bacteria from your sink?

Don’t compromise on hygiene – make the switch today! It will be the best decision you’ve ever made. ☺️

Have you used a wash basin before? Let’s talk about it in the comments.

I would rather use my stainless steel sink that can be sanitized. Bacteria can breed and live on/in plastic surfaces. Stainless steel doesn’t hold bacteria like plastic even when plastic is sterilized.

Dr Dixon, I have always wondered why even use a basin or sink at all? I prefer to hand wash each piece in running water individually prior to sterilizing, and never let pieces touch a sink or basin, and never let pieces soak in water which could have bacteria.

Or you can scrub your sink and disinfect it before hand. Dose no one wash and clean and disinfect their sink after washing dishes 🤯
However I truly love this idea. To keep everything together. Im always loosinf pieces to my bottles or my pumps.

do what is best for you 🤎

as EP, we have more pump parts so it’s a lot to do for some people so a basin works better to hold dishes until we are ready to wash

it is not recommended by cdc to use your house sink even with disinfecting. If you want to use another basin that’s not plastic then do what is best for you

we do not wash meat in our sink either, but we use separate basin. Plastic works for our house, but if people want to use separate basin that’s stainless steel then do what is best for you

Thank you very much for the explanation Dr Dixon!!

they have some on Amazon 😊 just type in stainless steel wash basin

Cradle cap

Looking for recommendations. He’s 6 months and I have just left it but it’s not getting better. I’ve seen coconut oil is best, can I just use any sort for him please?

(UK based products and hopefully something I can get from Superdrug as I’m doing an order 😂)

Does anyone else feel this kind of guilt?

I’m going back to work in a couple of weeks—just two days a week—and my 8½-month-old has started her settling-in sessions at nursery. Yesterday was her second one, and it honestly broke my heart.

She’s breastfed but will take expressed milk from a bottle (as long as it’s not from me). When I picked her up, she was absolutely screaming—she’d clearly been crying for a while. Her hair was damp with tears, her eyes were red, and she was so upset. She’d refused her bottle, even though the staff member trying to feed her was a breastfeeding mam herself, and she’d just woken up from a nap too.

She’ll only be going once a week, as my mother-in-law will have her on the other day I’m working. But I can’t shake the feeling that I’m being cruel… I just don’t know if she’s going to settle. Once she gets really worked up, she’ll only calm down with someone she knows, and it took me a good 10 minutes to soothe her after I picked her up.

My mother-in-law has offered to have her both days, and I’ve said I’ll consider it if she doesn’t settle at nursery after a month—especially since my little one absolutely loves being with her.

But I keep questioning myself… am I making the right decision sending her to nursery at all? 🤍

WORK

Hey all! my husband has recently started a new job which is night shifts 9pm-7am. He works 4 on and 4 off but has said he has to stick to same sleep pattern. Not waking until 3-4pm everyday? How are we coping with this and looking after baba by ourselves completely?

Parking drama, I want to know what people think!

My mum parks across my driveway sometimes (maybe up to twice a week) as there’s limited on street parking nearby.
Someone has been pushing her wing mirrors in, obviously in protest. Her car is older, and the wing mirror has been broken twice by doing this.

See my doodle. The guy doing this lives at the house at the top of the road’s turning circle. He walks the path of the purple line across the turning circle to do it to the car.

The road is not a busy road at all, it’s a short culdesac/dead end road. The pavement by my driveway is blocked by a bush and a lamppost (drawn in my pic lol), and any pedestrians would need to go on the road anyway to get past, even if her car wasn’t there. There are no obstructions on the pavement on the other side of the road.

Do you think what he is doing is fair??

You just changed your baby’s diaper, but realise you have to use the bathroom. Do you wash your hands..

Should I make a poll series on hand washing because I’ve been here long enough to know it’s not happening as much as it should lol
