Sterilising dummies

My Lg has just started to take her dummies

Just wondering when do you sterilise them ?

Obviously when it’s drops on the floor but what if it falls into her crib/ Moses basket when it fall onto herself or our clothing ? Do I get her a new one if she spits it out?

We have a handful on rotation so they’ll go in the steriliser after a day of use OR if they’ve been on the floor - if it’s just touched his cot or our clothes we just give it back, whatever germs are there he’s 100% getting already! If you don’t have any yet deffo get some dummy clips to at least keep them on baby day to day (not when sleeping) x

We have the nuby UV Steriliser and absolutely couldn't live without it! Definitely recommend it🤣 it comes everywhere with us x

We just sterilised night time ones once a day and had a couple that we swapped while the other sterilised, take 2 with you if you use them out and about in case one drops on the floor

You don't need to sterilise if it touches the cot or clothes.

I just rotate and sterilise at end of day x

The Milton sterilising wipes are really useful if dropped on floor or out and about

Dummies🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♀️

Has anyone got any tips on how to GET RID of dummies😂🤦🏼‍♀️ my little girl is obsessed and i have no idea where to start!!

Breastfeeding

Does it ever feel better? The actual feeding part of it is going really well and baby boy is growing so well. I’m struggling with how my boobs feel day to day - it’s really getting me down most days. The let downs make me feel awful and sounds silly but, I am also really missing not wearing a bra! 9 weeks postpartum and still getting fairly engorged, even with comfort pumping.

Any advice or just shared stories would help. I’m so torn between carrying on because I enjoy the feeding side of it or switching to formula.

Help! First time mum -

I have a 4 month old and now all of a sudden when he’s been asleep for 1hr30/2hrs he will wake up screaming (high pitched) I’ve tried winding him sometimes that helps, I’ve tried bicycle legs & bringing his knees up but that doesn’t seem to help but he brings his knees up himself sometimes but nothing happens. I’ve noticed since the 4 month mark he has started to struggle passing wind downwards! Any tips?

Big nursing bras!

I’m looking for recommendations for good nursing bras for bigger breasted ladies!

I’m currently in a 38H which seems to be the biggest size done at M&S (UK based mama here) and it’s snug and not as supportive as I’d like. When I look online, they mainly seem to be sized S, M, L, XL etc rather than bra sizes.

Any recommendations please?

Bath Time

Help! My baby is 3 and a half weeks old. Every bath she goes in quite happy but will only stay like this for a very few mins, if I try to clean her or move her we have tears and after a few mins the same. It's like she is scared. Our current baby bath is quite big should I try a different one? Looking for any suggestions as want her to enjoy bath time not be upset and I'm scared I'm going to make her hate it😢💗

Strange question

Hello. I would identify myself as asexual but yes i am married and i have a child. But now that ive had my baby. I think its solidified that im done having sex. I feel bad as my partner keeps asking me but i just dont want to. Any advice on what i can do? Any other asexual moms out there? I guess this could be confusing but im not huge on being bound by a label. I have just always felt it represented me best since highschool.
