Nuby rapid cool

When you measure your water for your bottle do you do it in your rapid cool or in your bottle and then pour into your Nuby? This morning I measured 6oz of water in my Nuby, added the formula and mixed and when i poured it into my mam bottle it was nearly 8oz. Is this right??!! I’m worried I’m going to make my little girl poorly if the measurements in the Nuby arnt right?!!

Is it not just the bubbles and the density of the formula because you shook it? Sometimes when I make formula and shake it loads a 5oz bottle looks like a 7oz. I haven’t got the rapid cool but it’ll be the same as when doing a bottle of you shake it

I’m not sure because when it settles I think it still seems allot more than what it’s supposed to be xx

hm maybe try making the next one in the bottle and then put it in the nuby and see if the same thing happens?

yes think I will, I’ve seen people on tik tok pour the water into the bottle first and then put into the rapid cool and I’m thinking have I been doing it wrong the whole time 🙈

ah bless ya well these things happen if you have I wouldn’t beat yourself up about it!

yep everyday you learn something new! 🙈😂

I measure in the bottle and then add to the nuby as I find it more accurate ☺️

I do the same as Zoe. I don’t add the formula to the Nuby I leave a hot shot in the bottle and only add water to the Nuby (means you can reuse it through the day before having to wash and sterilise as you have no formula in it)

yeah the Nuby measurements seem to be bigger don’t they! Xx

thank you I’ve been shaking!! I shall circle movements from now on xxx

I do this when I go out, but might be easier to do it at home too xxx

they do! Very odd but I also saw in tiktok it seems different. Also I wear glasses and trying to pour hot water in and see the ounces inside the flask and not get steamed up is not easy 😂😂😂😂xx

Don't forget the formula itself adds volume to the bottle.
Think of it like a bath - when you get in, the water level rises but there's no extra water in there 😊

Baby clothes

Just out of curiosity, why do parents love zipper onesies?

Don’t get me wrong, I tried zipper ones it’s easy to zip in and out when putting it on the first time and taking it out, but I find it difficult when changing diapers especially when baby is asleep.

I prefer those kimono style buttons where it’s easy to button or too down button with crotch snaps.

Is everyone thinking the same or different? Lol

At this point I’m not enjoying motherhood

My 22 month old is horrendous at the moment🫣 biting, hitting, pushing, pulling and shoving not only adults but children he also wants what other children have and will just snatch it away from them.

We repeat ‘nice hands’ ‘be gentle’ ‘let’s share’ etc

But how do I make him understand what he’s doing isn’t very nice? At the end of the day I feel like I’ve just been saying his name all day and nothing else.

What can I do?

Help

My LO every feed. Drs don’t seem to think it’s a problem the whole Muslim cloth gets soaked so much I’m using towels now. I’ve tried size O teats he gets really frustrated and still spills it out :(

Dummy

My baby has had a dummy since about 2 weeks old (now 5 months) and over the course of the last month we weaned her off it during the day only for naps and night (which was fine) and then 5 days took it completely away during the day.

The first day no dummy was fine, the second bit rougher. But now it feels impossible she just moans and cries all the time it takes ages for her to go down to sleep (she’s always been an amazing sleeper)

I thought it was meant to get better as time went on not worse. I’m at my wits end I dunno what to do.

Currently typing this as she screams uncontrollably in the car and I cry with her cos I can’t do anything.

Of these two, which seems more overall “demanding” to you, overall? Lighthearted poll, not putting anyone down 🫶🏼

As a mum who breastfed for 3 years, I think formula feeding seems 100x harder and more demanding. I give those mamas all the credit because I could not keep up with that faff haha. I truly don’t understand why people say breastfeeding is more effort, other than the fact that no one else can do it. But personally I’d take that over endless bottle prep & cleaning.

Is this normal?

My 12m old is really funny with kids going near him, he’s always been this way, but anytime family’s kids sit next to him or head his way he moans or cries and moves away. He also really observes them and is never really relaxed, always looking over his shoulder. Has anyone experienced this? (He’s starting nursery properly tomorrow so hoping this helps) but is this normal?
