Cold water Steriliser

I'm trying to find a Milton cold water Steriliser for a reasonable price that isn't going to take forever to get here. Baby is due in less than a month, and I can only find them on amazon for over £22 and they take up to 2 month to come.
I've checked the shops and it's like the only Steriliser to exist is microwave or electric which is not what I'm wanting this time around.
Please help a very stress girl out with suggestions

I got mine in a boots store or they have them online which should only take a couple days to be delivered

I've seen it in Boots not online the one that you can walk into and get it straight away. It was about £20

You can just use a bucket, all you need is something that can fit 5 litres of water and some bottles! We use a plastic trug, I’ve marked 5 litres on the outside with sharpie after measuring it using a jug. You don’t need the actual branded item, and can just buy a big bucket in B&M or similar

@Charlotte this might be a silly question but how do you then keep the stuff submerged in the water?

You can just use any plastic tub and the Milton tablets you can pick up anywhere.

I don't know if it's a silly question but I don't understand how you would then keep the stuff submerged in the water

What items are you trying to sterilise? With bottles you just fill them with the water. Dummies and teats just turn them over a few times in the water if they float.

I got mine from boots a few days ago, ordered it online and collected the next day as I was struggling to find them in store xx

I just push the bottles down, they fill with water and they stay submerged that way, I put dummies inside the bottles before I submerge them to keep them down and then the bottle teats turn them upside down and push them into the water so they fill.

When does it get better?

I was crying on the phone with the perinatal mental health team today and the lovely lady, bless her, kept assuring me that it gets better. I kept telling her I hope so because people have been saying that since having my LO and it just feels like it keeps getting worse. She assured me it gets better....

Rant/WWYD

My sister (youngest, 24) has two kids, 4 & 1, and i (oldest, 30) just have my one who’s 6mo old right now, so i ask her for advice or call her to vent about things sometimes. Well im tired of her turning around and telling my other family members that I’m “losing my sh*t.” Literally have not lost my sh*t nor have i ever freaked out to her about my baby, i just call her to talk and tell her what stage my baby is in or talk through how im feeling, but she chooses to tell people that im like a complete nutcase or something which worries me that my family is going to start being judgmental about me as a mother or looking at me funny like I’m some fragile ticking time bomb.

What would you do in this situation? I’m already pretty much decided that I’ll stop telling her anything about my struggles, but I’m almost at the point where i feel like it should be confronted because she, of all people, should understand what I’m going through.

Not drinking

I’m going crazy. Baby born at 2.26kg. Slow to put on weight. This last week hasn’t put on any. Been trying to feed him at night and he’s not interested at all. Fast asleep. During day he will have 5 minute gulps and that’s it. He don’t cry for milk. I’ve got to keep offering to him. I try to offer it every hour but I don’t know what I’m doing. HV said nutrition comes after 5 minutes so I should pump first and then give him. I find it so hard. I tried to pump one boob nothing came. The other abit came. Tried giving him express he’s not interested in that too. Sometimes he will go for a longer a feed but not long at all. He’s 4 months and is currently 5.46kg. I have no family or friend support here and wish I had a cook, cleaner and nanny to help with everything so I can concentrate on the little one. I don’t know what’s wrong with him but I’m loosing it. It doesn’t help that my also stressed generally about my relationship and life circumstances. Any advice that will work. Any comfort you can give. I’m fed up. Is this regression - not feeding. He’s fast fast asleep. I’ve been trying to push the nipple in but that mouth is closed shut. I took some clothes off. Changed his nappy but he’s still asleep. Please help

Sleeping bag

8 week old in sleeping bag for first time as big enough! Do you feed your child in the night whilst in the sleeping bag or taken them out, feed then transfer back to sleeping bag before putting down?

Leaky nappy help

What nappies are you using to stop leaks?? We use pampers ultra dry size 5, and for the past few nights he has lashed through and we’ve had to completely change him during the night. Last night he leashed through twice!! He sleeps on his front and stays leaks through at the top of his leg where the tabs connect. Didn’t know whether to size up, he has a bit of a belly on him but he’s smack in middle of weight guidance so shouldn’t need too

Has anyone died their kids hair a fun color and have any recommendations for kid friendly hair dye that actually works and stays in the hair for a bit? 👀👀👀
