NUBY RAPID COOL LID 🧼

Ladies, for those who own nuby rapid cool flasks, please remember to disassemble the part of the lid at least twice a month or once a week. Usually there’s so much residue and left over milk stuck under the plastic ring! I’d say dissect it apart and let it sit in Milton water for at least a few hours!

Am I the only one who takes it off and cleans it after each use?

I used to clean it everyday and I never used to see residue, so I assumed the depth of that cleaning won’t be necessary after every use, and I experimented doing it once a week, and it was much more effective. I think when you’re making bottles back to back, taking that part off and putting it back on can get fiddly, especially when you’ve got a screaming baby waiting for milk! But go on you!

Can the top bit go in water? I had assumed it couldn’t cos of the electric (or whatever makes it light up), so great if I’m wrong.

So you’d wash it with warm soapy water, and then you can pop it into cold water with a Milton tablet, or the UV sterilising nuby case. So you can leave it in the water, nothing will happen to it! ☺️

I have the Tommee Tippee one of these though I don't put the made up bottle in mine I measure the water out then put the water straight into this and put the formula into the baby bottle, then add the water once it's the temp.

often that’s not too safe, because the reason you’re mixing the hot water with the formula is to kill the bacteria in the formula. So when you cool down the water, it’s no longer at boiling temperature and therefore doesn’t kill the bacteria.

Thanks. I hadn’t realised it could go in water. Was just wiping it really carefully. Cheers

Hey I have this and was wondering if the middle part of the lid came out, how do you take it off? x

The instructions on mine say the lid can only stay in the milton for 15 minutes 🤔

it needs sterilising after every use

you just pull it off, it’s a rubber plastic ring so it’s quite easy for you to pull away from the actual lid, it can get fiddly if your hands are wet

mine stays in for hours and nothing happens

Incognito, I never thought of this 🫣

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.
