Nuby rapid cool-mouldy lid

I feel like the worlds worst mother, I prepared a feed using the nuby rapid cool, upon cleaning babies bottle I noticed a speck of mould….i then went to wash the nuby cool flask and realised the seal of the lid had slight mould on it…..baby has drank the milk….but now I am soo soo worried and don’t know what to do. It only happened about 2 hours ago and baby seems fine so far. I feel so awful and so worried that baby will now be poorly!

I’ve taken the seal off and fully washed it with boiling water and anti bac washing liquid and left to air dry. 😭😭😭😭

Are you sterilising the nuby? It should be sterilised. You can do with Milton fluid.
I’m sure little one will be ok

I’m not sure you can sterilise the lid of the rapidcool? I do the bottle bit in cold water/milton and just give the lid a good clean (taking off the seal and washing under it). What are others doing to clean?

Ive only used formula in it once, and now doing hot shot method,…so I’m guessing it doesn’t need sterilising??

you can clean the lid in Milton too

It does still advise to clean periodically. I do the same and sterilise every couple of days

I sterilise the main part in the Milton cold water steriliser along with the rubber seal from the lid. Then I use the Milton spray in the lid that can’t go in the water and leave that to sterilise and then rinse with cooled boiled water

I wash it including removing the rubber and then I chuck it all in the steriliser! Been doing it for 2 months and no issues with my lid or anything. It just says not to leave for longer than the 15 mins it takes to sterilise

I think you do need to clean and sterilise the lid each time. I always microwave sterilise which you can’t use on the lid, so I bought the mini Nuby UV steriliser for dummies and I put the lid in that. I’m pretty sure though you can Milton sterilise the lid. It can go in water for short periods, I think - just not in microwave or dishwasher.

I have been doing the hot shot method so only water going in nuby cool and the seal still went mouldy! Going to sterilise it from now on

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.

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

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 🙂

Pumping advise

FTM to a 2 week old! I’m breastfeeding and then giving one formula bottle last in the evening before bed. I want to start expressing milk to give me some breathing room and also allow my partner to be more involved in feeding. I’m finding the idea of introducing pumping into my day quite overwhelming though. I don’t want to take milk away from my baby by pumping if he needs it during the day when being breastfeed.

Can anyone advise how I start pumping and when to do it? Thank you!

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.
