I make up a station for my bedside table which has 2 Nuby rapid cool, boiling water in a flask, pre measured formula and sterilised bottles.
My baby has three night feeds so after the second one I top up the water and sterilise the Nuby.
This has saved me sooo much sleep than trekking up and down to the kitchen. Hope this helps!

ohhh okayyy, how do you make the bottles then? X

We have a kettle upstairs because I couldn't find a flask that kept water hot enough all night. It's also handy as we spend a lot of time upstairs when it's just us 2.
I use the nuby too, but I use the hot shot method so it doesn't need sterilising! It's a game changer x

I need to try the hot shot method! But so far I measure out hot water in the bottle, pour into the Nuby and then the formula, shake until green then back in the bottle to feed x

I have a flask of boiling water and a bottle of cooled down boiled water and as my daughters on 6oz I do 3oz of boiling water and then add the formula and then add a further 3oz of cooled down boiled water. I've found this is the quickest and easiest way to get a bottle immediately at the right temperature!

what’s the hot shot method?

It's easier to look on tiktok or YouTube as it's quite tricky to explain

Tomme tippee prep machine! Is super easy and not loosing time 😀

Avatar

we’ve been told the prep machine shouldn’t be used as it doesn’t reach right temperature

Avatar

Everyone use the prep machines 😀 They told me same but who wants to loose 1hr every time the baby wakeup to prepare milk? You wont get any sleep if you have a baby like mine eating every 3hrs! 😀

My son isn’t on Aptamil Pepti yet but think he’s going to be soon. We have a perfect prep machine and I got a thermometer specifically to periodically test the temperature of the hot shot and it has been 73 degrees or above every time. Not sure what the difference in that is than boiling kettle and leaving for half hour as how do you know the temperature of the water inside? 🤷🏻‍♀️

Prep machine has worked wonders for me 👌

Avatar

do you put the formula in the hot shot and then let the cold water go into the bottle?

Avatar

I put the formula in the bottle first (along with his gaviscon as he’s on that too) then do the hot shot, lid on and swirl well then lid off and back under for the cool water lid back on, swirl and then feed 😊 x

Avatar

i have always done like this! I never put the formula first

Avatar

Yes that’s the correct way

Avatar

We Fill a flask up before bedand make the bottle when needed. Cool it down in jug of cold water whilst changing bum: always worked for us xx

Avatar

What about making in advance and storing in fridge? Can you not do that with pepti?

Avatar

no formula should be kept for more than 2hours! After that is not good anymore

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.

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....

Crawling

Did anyone’s little one start crawling yet? I feel like we are falling behind but really have no idea. I’m trying to introduce more floor time but it’s been rough because of having hardwood floors and our 80 lb oblivious to life dog. I got us a carpet for the living room and trying to put the dog out more when the weather allows. She sits like a pro and will roll to get the things she needs😅 but no real signs of crawling yet.

I bloody hate reflux!

How much milk would you say this is?( after a 6oz bottle) My 3 month old is bunged up, full of yet another cold and it's made her reflux worse.

She's already on gaviscon but that's the most shes ever spat up in one go. She's also been teething for the last few weeks too 🙄
