‼️‼️ HELP NEEDED ‼️‼️

I'm a first time mum. Unplanned so don't have a clue what I am doing/need. I bought a set which has in it a steriliser 8 bottles 2 different sizes a brush some insulated bags and this heater. Can you only use the heater for formula milk or breast milk too? Will I need a prep machine or does this heater do the same thing? 🤯🤯

Defo a prep machine as this takes longer to warm up! Prep machine is a life saver I bought the ready made as well as breast feeding. Try not to stress and do whats best for you and baby xxx

We use this for breast milk if I’ve pumped it and it’s been stored in the fridge, it can take a little bit to heat up but I wouldn’t say too long. I can’t really comment on formula as we’ve never formula fed

we used the nuby rapid cool flask for when out and about (we used the pre made formula in little bottles and used it to warm it up as LO didn’t like room temp milk x

@Jess thanks I am thinking I may do both so that's great 🩷🩷

The warmer can be used on a lot of things.
You can put breast milk/formula (bottle or poutch). Note MAM anti colic bottles are not suitable for this warmer.
Later, even food pouches, although i preferthe microwavefor that. It's a very simple design it boils up periodically. Although I would get some citric acid to clean it or any other descaling agent.

Same for the steriliser (I have the set). I would turn it on, let it boil up with the descaling agent, and turn it off, let it sit until it cools down, wipe clean and done.

Prep machines are a life saver 🙌 I loved our babybrezza that one is the best as you do not need to do anything with it, just a button press. They can get pricy tough.
Alternatively, you can prep anything in advance. There are multiple options.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Baby with chronic congestion

Hi everyone! My 1 year has been a congested baby since birth almost. She breathes through her mouth so often that it wakes her up multiple times at night and she cries and screams and then struggles to go back to sleep. She wakes up every 1-3 hours and sometimes can’t go back to sleep for 2-3 hours!!! Piriton is the only thing that seems to help her sleep mostly through the night but I can’t keep giving her that!!
Does anyone have tips as to have I can do or give her? Has anyone experienced? I have no idea when I’ll get an ENT appointment and I have no idea what he can give a 13 mo :( we are desperate for sleep so any tips are welcome!! We have tried steam inhalation, saline drops, vapour rubs and everything off the counter basically!

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?
