Warming cows milk?

How are we meant to warm up cows milk in bottle? Can I stick it in the microwave? I want to transition per oz first but as I add more milk the milk itself is cold.

Bottle warmer or jug of boiling water?

The only reason they say not to use microwave is because of it potentially getting hot spots, i usually just put it in for around 20secs just to take the chill off and make sure i give it a good shake before x

I just microwave for about 20 seconds and give it a shake xx

Ah right haahha thank you. I thought I was going mad lol didn't feel like anyone else was on the same page as me on it from reading other posts... honestly the amount of winging and learning I've done throughout this (almost) first year with my little boy has been wild! Excited to see what else there is moving forward!

I think we are all just winging it, you’re not alone there! 😂 I also transitioned an ounce at a time and when it was about half and half, I used to make the formula with the kettle then add the fridge cold milk and it made it the perfect temp! We are on 2oz formula 6oz cows now so I just microwave it, my little boy is 1 next Wednesday xx

Baby cutlery

Out of curiosity.
If we have to sterilise baby bottles, dummy’s ect.
Do we also sterilise baby cutlery?

Moving while asleep

My 12 week old has been sleeping through the night (8 hours) for the last week and a half and since the 3rd or 4th night he's been wriggling his way to the other end of his crib to the point where his head is cocked to the side
He seems fine but it looks uncomfortable and ive always been told he needs to have his feet touching the bottom of his bed and if I move him back he wakes up.
Has anyone else experienced this? Did you leave it? Are there any potential issues if I do leave it?

5 am wake up🫩🥱

My 3 year old … lately has been waking at 5am 😭
I’m exhausted!

He winds down half an hour before bed - we get ready for bed, each of us read a book each, kisses and cuddles, a drink of water and up to bed. He goes down easy, I sit for 2 minutes literally and he’ll self sooth himself to sleep by 7:30pm he’s out! But the past 3 days he’s been waking and coming into my bed at 5am … me thinking he’ll go sleep he’ll just toss and turn and wants to go down…

Anyone in the same boat?

Help

Hi mamas! Has anyone dealt with their baby’s hair clumping at the back of their head? I tried baby oil to loosen it but no luck so far. Any advice?

Blood in baby’s poo

Ladies, I’ve just changed my baby and noticed some blood on his poo and on the diaper. The poo was quite soft, not pebbly and he wasnt straining or anything like that. Anyone had anything like this before? What is it? Shall i call the GP?
