Nuby Rapid Cool - Sterilising

How do I go about sterilising the nuby rapid cool and how frequently do I need to do so? For reference, I have a UV steriliser. I’m not sure if the top digital bit can be sterilised or soaked in sudsy water.

I will also be using a thermos flask for the hot shot method. Apart from washing it in warm soapy water, rinsing and filling with boiling water, can I sterilise this item?

I wash all the parts in warm soapy water (not submerging the digital lids) and then sterilise with hot boiling water. Just filling and shaking all the parts! It’s been game changing owning this! Genuinely love it and highly recommend to anyone!

if you sterilise with hot water then it’s like been used and have to wait for hours again to use it ?

Cold water sterilisation is so simple . Wash all parts and submerge into the Milton bucket with a tablet xx

Cold water and Milton tablets

just the lid they say to wait a couple of hours! But you can do it the night before/morning of when you’ll need it and you’re great to go! I do mine when making the morning bottle if I know I’m going out! 😊

We only put hot water in ours and use the hot shot method so it doesn’t need sterilising

I wash all the parts with soapy water, let them dry a bit, and put them into a UV sterilizer. You can reuse them pretty much in few minutes

that’s a great idea!

Nuby have a steriliser that attaches onto the bottle and sterilises with UV in 60 seconds. We usually use the Milton but it’s so much easier to wash it and use the portable steriliser if we’re out visiting family x

Can someone pls help i keep making this post and nobody is responding

My boyfriend booked a trip for us to go to mexico for a week as my push present. I have severe anxiety leaving my 7 month old with my mom. I know she will be in good hands but she’s exclusively breast fed for the most part but accepts bottles just fine. i have all my pumping parts packed and will pump when baby normally eats but i don’t want baby to forget me or have latch issues when i return!! any mommas ever experience this?

Postpartum

I’m only 3 days postpartum (FTM) and already have extremely bad anxiety. I’m crying every night, as I think of another night of no sleep. My baby will not settle in his cot, he cries every moment we put him down unless in his chair rocker. So me and my partner are having to alternate after 3/4 hours of being awake with him downstairs. I’m trying everything to get him to settle. It’s a load of overwhelming stress. I’m 23, I was desperate for a baby and now I have one and feel completely useless. I miss it just being me and my partner.

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....

Night time routine

Heya, my 3 week old daughter is currently exclusively breastfed and I’m not pumping. Can anyone recommend the best way to share the load with my partner? At the moment I’m doing all the feeds/burbs/settling and my partner is sleeping through which obviously isn’t sustainable, I’m trying to work out the best way to get him involved. Any advice very much appreciated!

Rapid cool/ hot shot method

Sorry if this sound stupid but how are we doing the hot shot method?
Are we boiling the kettle and letting it cool a little before adding to hot flask? Then with the cool water do you boil the kettle and leave it to cool right down before putting into another flask?
My baby brain is fried trying to work out the easiest way!

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.
