NUBY rapid cooler and flask

Does anyone on here use the NUBY Rapid cooler plus their flask?
Seems one only gets 2 hours of safe usage with the water in the flask. We tested it at 3 hours where you put the rapid cooler lid on it , tip it upside down ( the flask ) then back up to see if it’s still safe ( hot enough ) to do the hot shot . Who is 2 hrs helping ?!? Babies feed mostly every 3 hrs 😧😣

I use a flask for night time and have one with a digital lid that tells me the temp so I know if it is still at temp. I usually get 3-4 hours out of my flask which is also has an insulator around it to keep it warmer for longer. Might be worth looking at a different flask to see if that will keep the water for longer?xx

We have the Nuby flask. I tested it last night after 5 hours with a thermometer and it was 72 degrees. I could be wrong but the nhs guidance is anything over 70 degrees to kill the bacteria so I thought it would be fine for 5 ish hours x

We tested our last night as well and it was after four hours and the thermometer said 78 so I just don’t think that the reader on the top is as accurate as they say it is and maybe we should just use the thermometer as the better guideline

Yeah I think that’s probably the longest I’d leave it. I assume when you put the water in the bottle it cools down a little as well. Even our thermos flask (not Nuby) is about the same amount of hours. All confusing isn’t it wondering if you’re doing it right x

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?

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....

Guilt

Does anyone else feel guilty for every little thing they do? I feel like I need to be entertaining my little one at all times. If I have to put her in the activity center to finish a task, instant guilt. In the car for too long, instant guilt. Replying to work emails instead of interacting with her, instant guilt. I know independent play is good for her but my brain thinks otherwise. Please tell me it gets better, I’d love to shower for more than 10 minutes without it feeling like the world is going to collapse.
