Storing boiled cooled water

Might be a silly question but what do people use to store this? Not so much for bottles but more for bathing eyes/ears etc. thanks!

I don’t store it because it wouldn’t remain sterile, I boil fresh each time

surely if you’re using a sterilised bottle it would remain sterile for a certain amount of time?

Yeah I guess so, sounds like a plan!

When my lo had conjunctivitis from her cold we put boiled water and cotton buds in a sterile milk bottle, this way we could keep her eyes clean while we were out of the house because it was cleaner than just wiping them on her bibs and muslins. It really did help, and it's softer on her eyes

bathing eyes - there's special sterile baby eye wipes. brand: little ones

specialy formulated for babies. just make sure you sanitise and clean your hands before opening packet.

can also use for ears i think

You can get a gallon jug specifically for storing boiled water. You just wash the jug every other day. Did this growing up.

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. 🥺

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? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.
