Tommee Tippee GoPrep

Hi, can anyone help me with the Tommee Tippee GoPrep flasks… the instructions tell me to put the digital lid on the black flask to check the water is hot enough but it doesn’t fit! Also, how do I do the hot shot method so that I can make more than one bottle when I’m out if needed?

Thank you :)

And hot shot method, have bottles with measured out cool boiled water, so if making a 6oz bottle make 5oz bottles & let cool in a new steralised bottle add 1oz of boiling water & your scoops of powder then add in the pre measured cool boiled water. Also a tip if you can access boiling water when out, do the hot shot method with the prep too, then just cool the remainder of the water in the cooling flask with the milk, therefore doesn’t need steralised everytime as you’ve only put boiling water in x

Without the milk* sorry x

The hotshot method- pour 5oz (just an example obviously varies for amount your baby drinks) out of black flask into bottle, pour 3-4oz into white flask leaving 1-2 oz of hot water in bottle. Set white flask aside to cool. Add formula to hot water in bottle and mix and then when water is cooled top up your bottle and give it a swirl x

Ok, thank you :) my little girl is only on 4oz… so do I still use 1oz boiling water and then the rest cooled boiled water from the white flask?

my little boy has 4 ounces. I use one ounce of boiled water with the milk and the rest cool from the white flask x

Yes same method, works with any size bottle but as she grows if she prefers a warmer bottle the hot shot size can change, say 2oz boiling 5oz cooled boiled water x

Thanks so much everyone! Last question…. How are you all sterilising them? The lid can’t be steamed 🙈🙈

I use the Milton cold water steriliser for the tommee tippees one tab in the water takes 15 minutes, solution is good for 24 hours x

Breastfeeding popularity

Absolutely zero judgement here, but I’m curious how many people actually breastfeed? I exclusively breastfed my first for a year and currently 9.5 months in with my second. Out of the 11 babies in my friend group my 2 are the only ones breastfed past 3 months.

Am I too secretive?

So hear me out, I found out I was 6 weeks pregnant 2 weeks ago. My husband excited, I was excited. Now we lost a baby in the past. 1 stillbirth and 1 miscarriage. So I feel like I don’t want to share with any family or outsiders that I’m pregnant because of all the negativity and I want to feel more secure in my pregnancy before I discuss anything. We also have been having issues in our marriage with him being in an emotionally enmeshed relationship with his mother and having stability issues. So we been working on trying to attain this house and a new car and have a better grip on our finances. My husband and I discussed keeping the pregnancy, the house and the car between us until things manifest. I’m big on letting life build and manifest before we go telling people. His mother and me are also not cool. She hasn’t been a fan of me from the very beginning of our relationship. Again she wants him as her 2nd husband, (if you understand emotional enmeshing and triangulation, this has been her relationship with my husband) she also thinks she is this big prophetess woman who has dreams and God tells her everything. She has been avoidant towards me and has been hoping our relationship ends. We have a five year old daughter together and a 19 month old son. So why would she want the relationship to end is beyond me, except so that she can pretend she had a dream about it and that she predicted this to his family. ANYWAY fast forward I started having cramps last week and have been bleeding for 8 days. More than likely I had a miscarriage or chemical pregnancy because I know the baby haven’t had a heartbeat yet (my doctors appointment is next week) Now again we agreed to keep this all private until things manifest. So his mom going through her own divorce and issues and she been blowing up my husband phone for days. Now when he talks to his mom he gets so wrapped in her world and her emotions and then thinks she is so wise, so he said to me he was going to learn how to be more responsible and grow as a man. Of course he gets tied into her web again, talks to her, gets to drinking and tells her all of our plans about the house, the car, the pregnancy , our conversations about divorce, all our marital issues! And his mom loves to gossip and laugh at our situation. I found out he told her all this because he was talking to her on the phone today on speaker phone and he like “man we better get this house and the car and blah blah”, and then she was like “now what about the baby?” And he hurried up and took her off of speaker. So when I wanted to talk to him about how I feel like he violated our agreement we had about his relationship with his mother, about our private life until it manifests , about the pregnancy and everything. He said he was like “I don’t be knowing what to talk about with them and f**k it I told everything and that you’re too secretive.” ‼️Now, I don’t feel like I’m secretive, I feel like a husband and wife should live life of their own, have their own private life and share what they want to share when they both agree to. So I feel like he violated our trust and keeps continuing to bring his mother and family into our relationship without my consent, and she is already hoping our marriage ends because hers is ending. Am I being secretive or does husband and wife really keep things between each other and he just violated our trust?

Poopin probs

My son is 4 months old and has always had a hard time pooping (he goes once a day is that). He currently has the stomach bug last week and is starting to feel better, but his poop has been hard some since being sick. He has also been so fussy. I give him gas drops often. What do y’all do when your baby can’t go?

SLEEP TRAINING - this is a last resort! I don’t know what to do anymore!!!!!!

This is my third child.
I have never ‘agreed’ with sleeping training because I hate my children crying and want them to know that I will always be there to comfort them.

But I didn’t need to with my older two.

My 3rd baby is now 10 months and cannot be put down. She cries every single time and stops as soon as I pick her up.

I cannot be holding her constantly. I need rest too. My partner and I need time together, even if it is limited.

What can I do? What is sleep training? How does it work? What do I do?

PLEASE HELP

Ready made formula & powder -Kendamil

Please help- our 6 day old gets on so well with ready made formula but we’re trying to switch to powdered (due to cost and midwife telling us to do so).

We’ve slowly introduced the first bottle of the day as powdered and with infacol before but then struggles for the rest of the day getting wind up and is now really fussy☹️

Anyone have any tips or dealt with this?

4 month regression - settling?

Hi ladies,

How are you all settling your babies in the night through this regression? I feed and he wakes up, try to pat/shush and he wakes up, rock to sleep and he wakes up. It’s so hard as we can be awake for up to 2 hours in the night and idk what else to do?! I’m really not comfortable co-sleeping so if I do get him in bed with me I’m awake the whole night 😔 I know there are safe sleep positions but it just isn’t for me. Any tips?!
