Anti-reflux aptamil formula

HELP!- does anyone have trouble with making anti-reflux formula everytime I make it it goes lumpy. I’ve changed the teat to fast flow. It gets stuck in the teat. I also do a hot shot first so it melts all the powder and then put the rest of the water in and still having trouble 😫anyone have any advice or recommendations what I can do.

We having the same problem but apparently it can happen from time to time as long as most of the milk has dissolved it should be okay x

We had the same issue, so we stopped using it as it was clogging up the test. No matter how many times we mixed
We have switched to Aptamil Comfort and it’s been a game changer for our daughters reflux. She’d vomit at every feed previously but now it’s maybe once or twice in 24h 🙏🏻x

Hey mumma! It goes clumpy if the water is too hot. It shouldn’t be made with boiling water, so you’d need boil the water and cool it down abit first and then give it a good shake ☺️

I usually cool the hot shot slightly in the nuby rapid cool (ensuring it’s still yellow), add the hot shot to the bottle, shake as instructed on packet and it turns into a creamy consistency before cooling down the rest of the water to the right temperature, adding it to the bottle and swirling (hope this makes sense) It also gets stuck in the teat if the inside of the teat is still wet from sterilisation- so i always let the teat airdry first.

It’s such a faff with anti reflux milk especially when you have a screaming baby! and then have to wait the dreaded 5 minutes for it to set 🥲

I found out that doing hot shot leaves lots of lumps. Leaving the water cool down worked for me.

Finding out gender

Has anyone found out the gender at a private scan at 14 weeks? And has this been accurate?

I found out at 17 with my first but I know a scan place that offers from 14/15 weeks and I’m impatient 😂🥲

Induction?

Anyone been induced before? Was it more painful? Better than thought? Worse than thought? Worth it? Thoughts?

Baby names

My daughter‘s name is valentýna and I’m struggling to find other nice girl and boy names beginning with V I’ve got a few and I’ve got loads that aren’t beginning with V, but I feel like I wanna go for all vs and I also love girl and boys names that match so because my daughter’s name is valentýna I would love to call my son Valentino my husband does not agree 😃

Induction or c section?

As a last resort, would you rather be induced or have a planned c section?

Really not liking the thought of being induced from people’s experiences I’ve read!
