Nuby rapid cool sterilizing between feeds

So, I started bottle feeding and have recently brought the Nuby rapid cool to batch make / make and cool bottles (in the hope to bypass the cooling in cold water stage) and it said on the instructions that you can only use it every 3hrs. I'm wondering if anyone here has any advice as id like to make say, 4 bottles in one to put in the fridge (once properly cool) and it says to sterilize every use. Does anyone use it to make a batch or is it only a once then clean it again job?

Annoyingly we did a huge clean and chucked the instructions 😬

Basically I'm wondering how the best most efficient way to use this is if anyone has more experience so far. Thanks in advance!

No advice on batch making but the way I use it is the hotshot method to avoid sterilising every time, so fill it up to 8oz (this is how much he has), then straight away pour 2oz (still boiling) into the bottle leaving 6oz in the Nuby - add formula to boiling water and shake, then once the 6oz is cool add that and bottle is done, meaning formula never touches the Nuby and it’s just boiling water in there hence not sterilising every time x

Hello, we do exactly the same as Toni! We never put the formula inside the nuby.

We boil the kettle (or use boiling water from a flask) and fill up the amount we need using an empty bottle.

We then put a small amount of the boiling water into the lid of the bottle to keep aside as our hot shot.

The rest of the boiling water goes into the nuby rapid cool - we tend to tip it up and give it a shake and check it’s gone green on the top.

We then put the formula into the empty bottle and add the hot shot and give it a swirl.

Then we add the cooled boiled water into the bottle to finish.

It sounds complicated but honestly once you get into the swing of it, you can make it within 2 mins easily - I’ve only ever bottle fed and can do this at 4am with my eyes half shut 😂

Hope that helps - any questions, just ask!

Obviously I don't know how many Oz your baby is taking.but let's say they have 6oz...

Put 2oz of boiling water in bottle and add the formula powder... Then with the remaining Oz of water put in the Nudy rapid cool to cool down, and add to the bottle with formula in.

You only have to sterilise if you put formula in it each time, if it's just boiled water it should be ok to go a bit between x

Oh that's brilliant thankyou both!
Makes a lot of sense to do it that way, and hopefully I'll be able to catch up and make bottles in the night too 😁

My boy is feeding every 2hrs on the dot for weeks now 😅 so hopefully the Nuby will be cool enough between feeds instead of batch making🤞🏻

And then would you both get away with sterilizing once a day if you're only using hot water in it? Thanks!

Havnt bothered reading the other answers but the reasons you can’t reuse straight away is because the white cylinder itself absorbs the heat so you have to allow it to cool for it to be efficient! I have 2 of them so this is never an issue for me!

Yes I don't see why you'd need to sterilise more than once a day - at the end of the day it's only sterile boiled water going into it 🥰

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

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. 🩵

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.
