Flask for night feeds

Hi, can anyone recommend a flask for keeping boiled water over 70c for night feeds please? We are using the Nuby Rapid Cool but want to start the hot shot method to save sterilising and boiling the kettle at night time…. How do you all do it? Do you have a flask that you recommend?
Thanks!

Nuby do a normal flask aswell xx

I was going to use it but it says it only keeps water hot enough for 2 hours. I was hoping to find something to keep water hot all night x

Tommy tippee do a bottle heater, it keeps the bottle at the right temp all the time it's plugged in, my partner tells me. I haven't used it myself but he has x

thermos flasks

SHO flask, i have two and they keep boiling water boiling for hours!
I fill mine up in the morning before we leave the house and when i wash them out at night the water is still red hot!

I got mine on amazon 🙂

Ahh I didn’t know that. That’s handy to know I won’t buy that nuby flask myself then! Xx

I got a 1 cup kettle off amazon to make me a drink when lo screams for hours. Boils in 1 minute

Chilly bottles have been the best for us! Still hot the next morning 🤣

I use the thermos steel king flask but it’s a bit big if you want to take it out, I’m not sure if they do a smaller one that works as well. I find mine stays above 70 for around 9 hours it depends how many times you use it and how much is emptied each time as more air gets in

It’s around £20-25 I managed get it on sale, but I first got a habitat one from Argos that cost £7 and it broke the next day and didn’t stay over 70 for long at all.

have you tested if it keeps it above 70 the entire time by any chance? X

do you test it when out before using every time or? X

I didn’t test mine but my friend who recommended it she tested hers at points through the night when our babies were waking every 2 hours and it stayed above 70.. Any time i use mine the steam still comes off the water when pouring and i once accidentally spilt some on my hand and it burnt me 😂 x

thank you!! X

no but when it’s been more than like 6 hours I start to check. I just pour some into a separate cup and test. But it normally stays over 70 for 12+ hours x

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.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Has anyone died their kids hair a fun color and have any recommendations for kid friendly hair dye that actually works and stays in the hair for a bit? 👀👀👀

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too
