Nuby rapid cool

How to sterilise the nuby rapid cool? Can I just put the flask and lid in boiling water for 5 minutes? I feel like this would be the easiest for me. And how often do I need to sterilise it?

I put mine in Milton :)

Milton or UV x

Milton cold water steriliser 👌🏻 15 mins and done.

We had the nuby uv steriliser.

The Tommee Tippee version which is basically the same says to wash it out and then fill with boiling water and turn upside down for 2 minutes. I've been doing that and had no problems

Mine is the same as Saran and I do it the same too with boiling water as my steriser is a microwave one

Hi ladies jumping on this thread- how do you manage when out and about with cleaning and the fact that it needs 3 hours before use again?

We bought a 2 pack in the Nuby sale on their website, then a few weeks later my partner bought another in Aldi. I just rinse in out and then use a different one. Sterilise them when we’re home. I’ve not needed more than 2 though on an outing as we always go out after a feed.

@Krishma I have now moved onto doing the hot shot method which is the same as how the prep machine makes as it means you never need to wash the rapid cooler

What is the hot shot method??

@Deniz you basically do a shot of boiling hot water to kill off the bacteria in the formula and then use the rapid cooler or the tommee tippee cooler to cool the rest of the water to the right temperature. That way the rapid cooler is only used for water and doesn't need cleaning between uses. There's loads of videos on tiktok showing it

Oh thats clever! Thank you

I’ve still been sterilising eventhough I use this method, somehow I though it would still need doing, great to know I’ve wasted my time😂

no problem!

@Millie oh no 🤣 I wash it after a day's use to be fair but since you're pouring boiling water in and just cooling it down it should stay sterile x

Sorry to jump on the post but i have a question about the nuby rapid cool. Ive been using one for my son for the past 2 months and ive noticed that, no matter how well i clean or sterilise it, it constantly stinks of milk and it seems like a thick spit like liquid comes out of the lid even when not being used! What is happening, does anyone know? Because its making me not want to use it

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?
