mam easy active

does anyone have the mam easy active bottles, the ones without the screwed bottom part? How do i sterilise these as i would always self sterilise my mam bottles but as it doesn’t have the part at the bottom i can’t and they’re too long to fit in my tommee tippee steriliser😖i’ve just put the teats in the steriliser and im soaking the main bottle part in boiling water but its taking 2 kettles seems a lot of effort is there an easier way? i’d rather not milton tablets as i only have two bottles so id go through a lot of tablets

Milton tablets last 24 hours so I just change mine each morning

Yes I’d say cold water sterilisation with the Milton kit would be your best bet and like said the water only needs to be changed and a new tablet added every 24 hours

Yeah Milton would be best. It doesn't matter how many bottles you have because you use 1 tablet per 24 hours, and just leave the bottles in for 15 minutes to sterilise.

I’ve got reusable bags for the microwave and put them in these. I rarely use them there like back up bottles. I also have a cold water steriliser but sometimes I don’t have 15 mins so the bags are handy to have.

This is the one I’ve got and it’s on offer now

love these! they’re are also great to use when needing to sterilise bottles at other peoples’ homes as well

You can boil hot water and pour over it and let it soak in a bowl leave it in for 20 mins or so. The Milton tablet causes my child thrush in the mouth so I’ve stopped using

What steriliser are you using? We have the same bottles and use the tommee tippee super steam and we just took the top tray out. Sterilise the bottles and teets and just wash the lids with Milton x

Either that or get yourself some sterilising bags, I do this for the little bits and bottles that don’t self sterilise, they usually come in a pack of 3 or 4 and can be used around 30 times each. Just put in a couple of ounces of water, throw in everything you need to sterilise and put the bag in the microwave for a couple of minutes :)

oh I didn’t see this, these are the exact ones I was talking about!

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
