Tommee tippee prep machine worth it?

I’ve heard these are amazing but every time I see one being used by my friends, I notice their baby really starts to cry because they can hear the sound and get really impatient - I’ve got a Nuby thermal flask to use but wasn’t sure whether I should consider getting this too! Any recommendations on one of these?

I haven’t personally used mine yet but every single person my age who has had a baby swears by this machine 😂😂 so much so that I bought one at 18 weeks when it was on sale!

how much did you get it for when it was on sale out of interest? X

We have one for our LG and also the rapid cool for when out and about, she recognises both mean milk is on the way and shouts until she gets it either way 😂. They’re observant little beans so I’d definitely recommend, it’s much quicker than the rapid cool and you can also hold your LO when using it which tends to stop the shouts 😅 xx

I got it for £85 (down from £130) 😊 was on sale on Amazon and then I got an extra 15% off because it was on my baby wishlist

I have both. I use the prep machine when we are home - I found it a lot quicker when doing night feeds and just quicker in general then boiling the kettle and using the rapid cool each time.

The rapid cool is perfect for when you’re out and about. I’d recommend both and will be using both for my second x

My LO hasn’t arrived yet but both of my sister-in-laws and their friends recommend it. I got one from marketplace that has barely been used.

I had it for my son, best thing ever. Hoping to breastfeed this time, bit if it doesn't work out will be getting the prep machine out.

I don’t have it and don’t plan on getting the prep machine as it doesn’t follow NHS guidelines. So it’s a no for me.
The rapid cool however. I have 3, they’re amazinggggg x

NHS do not recommend prep machines so it’s a no from me

I got given one, but I had my eye on a baby brezza since I found out I was pregnant. I have both.

Can’t see why it wouldn’t comply to the NHS guidelines as The inbuilt filter system removes impurities in the water, whilst the initial blast of hot water kills any bacteria present in the milk, ensuring baby receives a fresh feed every time? If you have the guidance to hand would love to see!

I spoke to my midwife and HV for my last pregnancy. They both said the above. I just wouldn’t personally risk it. Of course not everyone follows NHS guidelines and that’s up to them. But for me, it’s a no. But obviously on the website for tommee tippee, they’re gonna say it’s safe etc. because they want the sales

Ah thanks for sharing that! It’s a shame the article below doesn’t say what 15% of prep machines were ok and kills the bacteria! I’ll do some more research on it thanks :)

oh yeah obviously do some research. You’ll decide what’s best for you and your baby! X

Haha Yeah it’s weird already - NHS says 70 degrees to kill off bacteria and tommee tippee says that on the box and they can’t reference it if it doesn’t get up to temp otherwise someone would have called the brand out on it by now and probably sued them 🙊 I’m gonna risk it and buy a temp checker too, maybe you will see me on the news next year 😂

DONT THINK ABOUT IT, JUST DO IT. You won’t regret it

Used it for my first after we stopped breastfeeding. Really the best thing, never had any issues with it and have a happy and healthy 14 month old 😊

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

I'm open to anything else to start teaching him to read and write. He's 3!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

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.

Naps

How is everyone doing for naps?

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7

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.
