Nuby rapid cool

Morning Mums
I bought the Nuby yesterday.
Use once in 3hrs.
Baby feeds every 2.
Has anyone used before the 3hr wait time is up?

Also - when going out -
You take the Nuby.
Do you take a flask of boiling or how’s this work?
😂
Thanks!

I've not used them sooner than the 3hours so can't help with that bit,
Do you have the nuby flask too? We take the flask of boiling water and put the nuby lid on the flask to ensure the boiling water is still hot enough, then pour the water into the rapid cool, add powder and then shake as advised 😊

legend. Thank you! Only just got it out the box. I don’t have the Nuby flask - but I’ve been using a thermos and doing the hot shot method for about 2-3 weeks now.
It’s all learning isn’t it!
Thank you 🤎🧸

@Hayley We used an ordinary flask the other day and provided it's obviously still boiling hot it'll be fine 😊 We use them for night feeds so use from kettle, they're a god send 🤩
Certainly is, such a minefield!

that’s what I do 👶🏼🍼

We use the hot shot method with the nuby rapid cool when out so it doesn't need sterilising after each use x

Avatar

hi. So what does this entail please as I use 40ml hot and 50ml cooled boiling for this?? Thanks 🍼

I’d like to know more about this too.
So you don’t put the formula in the rapid cool then? You just use it purely for cooling down the water? Then pour water into bottle with formula?
Sorry if I’ve misunderstood.

Wondering if this is it?

yeah that's it. I measure the formula and put it into pots. Then a flask of boiling water and measure an oz or so into the bottle add the formula and stir it. Put boiling water in the rapid cool and shake and then add it to make the oz/mls that I want. So I fill both flasks with boiling water, measure the formula into pots and have empty bottles in the bag x

also make sure you put the boiling water into the bottle first then the formula so it doesn't go lumpy at the bottom x

Can’t answer the 3 hour part as I haven’t had to do that, yet!
I was actually thinking of purchasing another Nuby for when I do need to do it earlier than 3 hours.
I make 2 bottles from each use (120ml each) which is the maximum the Nuby makes.

When going out, I take a flask of boiling water, the empty Nuby, and a container with formula. My baby is happy with lukewarm/room temp milk so there is no need for me to do the hot shot method.
I also don’t add formula to the Nuby, I add the formula once I’ve poured the water into the bottles (this is only because she’s on CMPA milk which needs to be made with room temp water).

Avatar

we have rapid cools that hold 240ml each. I believe there are two sizes as we came across this when looking to purchase.

We were not aware of the 3 hour reset in between feeds and so we have used ours under that time but we use the cold water steriliser in between so I believe this resets it anyway compared to when using steam, might be wrong though. Ours has still been getting to the right temperature

Avatar

the digital lids can’t go into a steam steriliser as it’ll break them. Been advised to use cold water on them.

I’d imagine the 3 hours is an absolute maximum. But for the price of them I’d be too scared to take the risk incase it shortened the life of them 😂😬

Avatar

ahhh I see - so you make up 2 with the Nuby water & one will be a little cooler when baby drinks it. Thank you!
I’m learning something new daily - then there’s more to learn 🤦🏼‍♀️

Avatar

thank you. I read on a Facebook group that others ARE using them under 3hrs. I’ve not even washed mine yet - I’m still a bit clueless with using it 😂

Avatar

I sometimes have to use mine under 3 hours and it’s fine it just takes a little longer to cool down. Usually only takes 30 seconds or so but if used earlier than 3 hours can take up to 2 minutes to get green light x

Avatar

ace, thank you 🍼🍼🍼

Avatar

usually I give one straight away, and allow the other to cool on the kitchen counter and put it in the fridge for the next feed. I heat it up again by putting it in a mug of boiling water for 5-10 mins. Made up bottles of formula can stay in the fridge for 24 hours.
Also, a lifesaver for me has been taking the following to the bedroom at nighttime: 2-3 sterilised bottles, empty Nuby, freshly boiled water in a flask, tub of formula. It means I don’t have to go to the kitchen at night to make bottles 🙌🏼

Avatar

yes I’ve been taking to bed 1x 30 min pre boiled cooled water & 1 thermos of hot. I tend to make 3 bottles up around 7pm / put them in the fridge & have them ready for from 7am but some disagree with this. Bar these 3 bottles the rest are flask hot shots … so wondering why I bought the Nuby now 😂

Avatar

I’ve always pre made bottles too, it makes life easier and baby has been fine! The Nuby will be helpful for you when you go out, it takes away some of the anxiety of where you’re gonna make a bottle etc. and also just good to have it there for a small top up bottle if baby is still hungry x

Avatar

thank you. So just make sure I fill enough for the warm one & the leftover one whilst out 🍼🍼

Advice please. So I live at home with my mom with my daughter whos 10 months old and my mom doesn’t work so she’s at home with me all day every day and she helps out a lot with my daughter and always has done since she was born especially at the start as I really struggled with PPD and I’ve noticed this since the start but I just feel like my daughter either just prefers my mom or thinks my moms her mom as she always wants to go to her and now she crawls she crawls to my mom instead of me, I’ve heard that babies know who their mom is due to smell etc but I just dont believe that she thinks im her mom. How do I change this and make her know im her mom ? Im
Also worried as I go back to work in a few weeks and my mom will be looking after her while im working so this will strengthen their bond even more💔💔💔 advice please?

How many naps does your 4MO have?

Hi ladies, just wondered how many naps your bubbas are having a day?

My little girl sleeps from 7:30pm - 6:30am ish and is still having around 5 naps a day. Her WW vary from an hour up to around 1hr 30/45 mins. I keep reading everywhere about babies transitioning to 3 naps a day but I just don’t see how this is possible as my LO gets so fussy if I push her WW too long.

TIA 🙏🤞

Hardest stage yet

I love my little boy to death but my god the 4-6 month stage is killing me off!
I did struggle with the newborn stage being a new mum but wow bring back my newborn 😭

Naps no more than 40 minutes at a time,
He use to sleep through now wakes up 1/2 times a night and wants to start the day at 6am 😴
Screaming like a banshee, loves to roll about but hates the fact he can’t crawl yet and makes it known 😂
cannot be kept entertained for more than 10 minutes at a time.
Doesn’t want to be held sometimes but doesn’t want to be put down (I can’t win 😅)
If it wasn’t for his cheeky personality and the smiles/belly laughs I think I would have lost my mind at this point!

Please tell me I’m not alone 🥲

How much does your baby eat

Hello,

How much does your baby eat?

My boy is 4 months (17 + 5 weeks) and he weights 7kg (born 3.5kg)
Sometimes I have feeling he is eating too much…
From yesterday I had to start giving him more food as he started crying after food and asking for more. (100% formula)
He eats around 1.3L in 24 hours (6 feeds with 5 being during the day and 1 overnight) . On internet it says baby can eat 150-200ml per 1kg body weight so in theory my baby can eat max 1.4L so it would tell me he is not eating too much… just on higher end.
Then on internet it says baby shouldn’t eat more than 32oz (900ml) in 24 hours. So I’m a bit confused…

Getting out of the house

Please tell me I’m not the only one who finds it near impossible to get out of the house with my LO 😓 She’s 4.5 months and I’ve barely gone outside since giving birth. Where I live it’s still super cold and the 3 times I attempted an outdoor walk with her she started crying after 10 minutes…
She won’t nap or nurse on the go anymore and still nurses every 1.5-2 hours. Up until 4 months her cluster feeding was so frequent I couldn’t go anywhere because of that. I’m completely house bound and going crazy. I feel like every other new mom I see on my social media is out to restaurants, Pilates classes, vacations, etc with their babies and for some reason I’m the only one who can’t handle it. Tell me this gets easier 😭

Edit: *it’s not because I worry about OTHER people with my baby’s crying- her crying stresses ME out especially because I know I’m depriving her of food or sleep because I went further than 30 minutes from our house and she won’t nurse or nap until we get home. It just feels like too much hassle and stress to bother.

Help - trapped gas

My baby struggles to fart and poop. She looks so uncomfortable and tries to strain. I've tried infacol and dentanox. But no luck. I've tried massage, bicycle kicks and bathing but no luck. Only a few pumps. Anyone got any other tricks to try? Desperate tired mummy 🫩
