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.

Peace of mind please

I shot up at 4am last night and had the urge to check my little boy who sleeps in a cot next to our bed.
For the first time he has rolled over and was sleeping on his stomach, my heart dropped.
I was so scared that I picked him up to make sure he was okay and he was just sound asleep…

What are we supposed to do if they roll over in their sleep?! He’s almost 6 months old and I’m prettified of him rolling and it being a different outcome if I don’t wake up..

Just need some peace of mind that this is
okay?

6m old not sleeping

My 6m old won’t sleep. He goes bed at 8/8.30. He’ll sleep until 3am and then he just wakes up like he’s ready for the day.
He’s not hungry, cold, too hot, not teething ect but it’s been going on for about a week. He then won’t go back to sleep until 5ish then he wakes every single morning at 7 on the dot. I’m exhausted. Anyone got any tips on helping this because he’s then so mardy throughout the day due to lack of sleep.

Moving 18 week old to her own room

Just looking for some advice really. I know at this age (18 weeks) she will most likely be going through sleep regression BUT I have been thinking for a while now about the time to put her in her own cot.. she’s in a next to me one at the moment and is constantly hitting the sides with her feet and she’s waking up so so much! Has any other mums moved their babies to their own room?

We have the owlet sock and camera so of course would keep an eye on her and I’m planning on sleeping in the room with her to begin with just to see if she sleeps any better. I know it’s advised 6 months due to SIDS but feel as though we would all get better sleep

I don’t really know what to do as me and my partner are EXHAUSTED

P.s she does nap through the day really well in her own bed so she is used to it

How are you BOTH getting sleep with a newborn?! 😴

Hey mamas 🤍

Looking for any advice or tips on how to protect a few hours of sleep for both me and my partner 🙏

We have a 5-week-old who usually wakes around 12/1/2am (depending on bedtime), and then again around 3/4/5am. My partner works from 7am to 5pm usually, so evenings can feel a bit full-on, and nights are quite broken at the moment (which I understand is quite normal!).

We’re combi feeding, as in the baby has expressed breast milk during the day, and we switch to formula overnight.

Would love to hear what’s worked for you from shifts, routines, anything that helped you both get a bit more rest 💭✨

Colic Baby

Anyone else have a colic baby? If so how do you cope with it and get your sleep in? I’ve tried everything under the sun, on top of this he’s cluster feeding like hell.
