Anti colic bottles other than MAM.

Does anyone know of any other good anti colic bottles other than mam, dr browns or tommee tippee that don't have 101 different attachments that need cleaning? I love mam but I'm so sick of cleaning 6 parts to 10 bottles daily! Its so time consuming and I've had enough of it.

I've looked up Nuk and I like them but unsure if they're any good?

Recommendations please! Thanks x

With the mam bottles, is that with the self sterilising ones?

I love the nuk ones. They've been great 👍

Nuk. I switched from MAM to Nuk and love them!!!

@Charlotte Yeah that's the ones! Great bottles but so time consuming to clean x

Mine liked Dr Brown and philips advent

@Raj Oakley these are the exact ones I've been looking at! Would you recommend the latex teat or silicone? I've seen people say the latex teats have melted or the coloring has come off? X

Nanobebe

Do you have a dishwasher? I use Dr. Brown anti colic bottles but I just throw all the parts in the dishwasher 🤷‍♀️

@Rachel I do yeah but I did that once and the plastic and teats all came out discolored 😅 probably just my crappie luck though! X

We use Lansinoh bottles and have loved them!

We liked Avent anti colic

Dr Brown is very good. Avent also

Nuk is amazing and the evenflo balance wide are

Hegen bottles are the best!

Nuk gave my baby a horrible tummy as even the 0+ ones were too fast flowing the Phillips bottle was good and he never seem to have any problems

My older 3 had philips avent, always perfect...i loved them.

Using MAM ones for my 4th boy, (7mnths), i like the chunkyness of them, well smaller ones, and got these as the original colic bottles from avent seem hard to get ahold of😔
My lil boy, gets alot of spit up, vomit... duno if its cz these bottles... but also when in microwave... sometimes i can smell like a plastic burn smell and realised its the bottles😶

Lansinoh! X

Tommie tippie has good ones. That’s what we used

Philips Avent Natural Flow. I LOVE them. No extra parts, don’t drip or leak, anti-colic. 3 parts (bottle, nipple, cap), which u think is standard.

The Phillips Advent Natural Response is the best - i got this set and love it. https://amzn.to/3RaelKO

We also tried dr browns but alot of parts and found the period warped in the bottle warmer.

Thank you everywhere! I wasn't aware how many brands there were 😅 x

I second Nanobebe! Replicates a boobie, soft silicone bottle, anti colic. My bubba is 3 months old now and she's taken her milk so incredibly well, no issues whatsoever. I've read very good reviews on them being great for colicky bubbas 🙏

@Emmie I loved the look of these! A lot of reviews said that its really hard to see the ounces on the side as it's tilted though, did you find the same? X

Lansinoh is great for us. We used MAM before and I didn’t like them for the same reasons as you.
The lansinoh bottles only have bottle, teat and cap to clean and I’ve found my son is less gassy afterwards that with the MAM bottles.

@Krissy these are the ones I've ordered a couple of to trial for a few days to see how we get on 🤞

you're right there! It is slightly tilted but when on a flat surface to fill, the writing is raised on the outside to see ☺️ I just love how squidgy they are and even when she finishes the bottle, there's no air she swallows. It's almost like the silicone prevents it and it's slow releasing too so a nice steady feed. I think now compared to years ago when we was babies there's so many options which is great! X

@Yasmin I went with the silicone teat. I did also buy the latex one at first, but I found it had a weird feel to it. The silicone one just moulds itself around my little boys mouth perfectly 😊

@Emmie ah they sound great! I may order a trial pack of these too and see which bubba gets on with best! Ah so much choice, maybe too much 😅 slightly overwhelming haha! Thanks for your help x

Hospitals recommend nuk but I found them (a) hard to find (b) you have to add a piece to shake the formula otherwise milk goes everywhere! It’s also another thing to wash and sterilise

It's all trial an error, really. I have literally spent a fortune on bottles trying to find the right one. All the bottles I no longer use will be used as containers for his snacks instead 😊 x

I love nuk !!! It’s the only bottle my boy likes. We get the natural ones.

@Bee that's the only bit that's put me off nuk, I know I'll lose those little disc's lol x

I use nuk first choice and I never use that plastic bit to shake the bottle. I shake it side to side pretty quickly and the milk stays below the teat and lid. I get all of mine on Amazon and they’re so easy to use and clean

Hour night wakes and 5am get up

Can anyone shed some light as to why on earth my child doesn’t want to sleep??? My eyeballs are bleeding!!

Never been a good sleeper, but the problems always changing. He’s nearly 9 months old.

Beginning of the month he dropped to 2 naps. We could put him to bed at 7pm and he’d get up for the day at 6am, with multiple wake ups every 2/3 hours.

Now we put him down at 7pm, he can do a good 4/5 hour stretch, but come 1/2am he’s up every hour then getting up for the day at 5am. This then completely messes up the day because I can’t keep him awake long enough to even get to 7pm, let alone later.

He has 2 naps, roughly about 1hr10 each but it changed based on when he wakes and trying to get him to a reasonable bed time.

What could be the reason for this? 6am is fine, but 5am is not 😩😩

AITA

In the uk there is an outbreak of meningitis, in a specific area mainly. My BD has family from that area and decided to go and meet up with them, I said if he does then he cannot have contact with the kids for 7-10 days after incase he picks anything up. Am I being over dramatic? I reallyyy don’t want my young kids getting anything serious

I think its fair

Me and my partner agreed to sleep in 1 day of the weekend.
He doesn't find it fair to look after both kids (my 4 year old isnt his) while i sleep so he looks after the baby while i sleep and my toddlers at his dads and ill look after both the next day.
Straightaway it was pretty unfair as i let him sleep in until he wakes up 10-12
He wakes me up when baby starts fussing because he wants milk (doesnt need it)
I cant pump as i dont supply enough.
So i get woken at 9/9:30 to feed baby then i get him sleep then theres no point sleeping in as my toddlers being dropped off.
I also find it unfair that i get both kids to sleep most night, i get my toddler to sleep everyday hes home (4/5days) and i get my baby to sleep most nights with the exception of maybe twice a month as his dad struggless then about 95% of his thru the day naps.
I have also been unwell for a few months (tumor scare) and am waiting 18 weeks to see a specialist so im obviously petrified for that, so unbelievably tired and alot of aches and pains, specifically these pounding headaches ive been having.
After i had been up til 11:30 getting both kids to sleep lastnight and my partner falling asleep at 10 then him ignoring the baby cries all morning until my toddler woke up im fed up slammed to door and rold him not to expect to sleep in unless he gets the baby to sleep the night b4.
I keep having issues with him not feeling the wet from baby being sick or weeing himself or being able to smell it do about 98% of the time hes given to me i have to clean him up n change him.
Including at night, we agreed my partner would change nappies (1 a night at 5am) while i feed (2,4,5,6:30) but every night when i get him hes pissed through and my partner gets annoyed when i wake him up n moan about it.
Then the morning after hes annoyed at how much washing there is (thats his job) and moans about how often i change myself (baby constantly shits thru and sicks on me) and baby
Honestly im just so tired all the time

Over supply of milk

I am nearly 5weeks postpartum and I have such a big over supply of BM.
Has anyone donated / sold their supply, if so where do you recommend for this?

Crawling and walking

So my girl is 9 months now and shes great at sitting up and stays on her tummy for awhile but she seems to have no interest in trying to move or crawl or bum shuffle. Shes a big baby always has been but I'm disabled and I feel like it's my fault she's not hitting milestones I feel like there's something I'm not doing and it's making me a bad mum

Night feeding in sleeping bag

Do you guys keep your baby in their sleeping bag when you feed them in the night, or do you take it off? I take it off as don’t want him to be too hot but then sometimes when he’s sleepy after his feed and I go to put it back on him he wakes up and is fussy. Not sure if I should just keep him in it?
