Sterifeed Bottles

Just found out that the purple lidded sterifeed bottles that we used with the hospital pump are actually single use only!!
I have just ordered the white lidded ones which are reusable.
Did anyone else not realise this? We have been using them for the last 5 weeks and sterilising after every use, not had any issues. Are there any risks to using the "single use" purple lid ones?

I think we watched the same tik tok 😅

I’ve had both the purple and the white ones and they feel exactly the same
I think the single use part only applies to the hospital

@Sarah yes I saw it on tiktok. Have you continued using them? On amazon it does say disposable x

I only realised on my second baby 😭🤦🏿‍♀️ but I used them for a year with my first. I feel so bad.

What does the tik tok say 👀

I still use them until the lids broke and now use the medela bottles but honestly i thought it was kinda wasteful in a home setting to only use them once they are made out of the same material as the white lid ones

yeah it seems so silly x

thanks! Maybe it’s because the purple lidded ones come already sterile and packaged singularly. Whereas the white lidded ones come in one packet and you have to wash and sterilise before the first use.

I’m abit out the loop as I was EP nearly 3 years ago but pregnant and going to again! I done exactly the same a reused them, I’m pretty sure it’s purely for hospital purposes the one use (as they’re from/for hospital) so it’s to ensure a hospital doesn’t reuse! I can’t remember where I heard it from but I remember questioning it myself x

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Bedtime routine

I have a 12 week old and we struggle to get him to sleep in his next to me crib or Moses basket, so he sleeps in bed with us which means we’re struggling to have a bedtime routine as he won’t sleep till i go to bed with him.
Any suggestions please as he doesn’t sleep till around 11/12
