Nuby rapid cool

Hi! I just wanted to check, before adding boiled water to my Nuby rapid cool when making feeds at home, do I need to leave the kettle for up to 30 mins to cool down a little or can I use straight away?
Also, just checking you add the boiling water first and then the formula to the Nuby? Thanks!

When using a kettle, I’ve always used the water pretty much straight away, but some people say that boiling water kills the nutrients in the formula, but we’ve never had issues that I can tell from doing it that way, I guess just follow instructions on the tin and do what works best for you! We’ve got a rapid hot machine so we can select what temp the water is dispensed at. I’ve always added the water first, then formula second x

You can use the boiled water straight away. I add the formula first as that’s what my prep machine does but I don’t think it matter either way x

My HV said that the water needed to be boiling to kill any bacteria in the formula. So I first pour the boiling water into the bottle to measure the amount of water then pour about 3/4 of the boiling water into the Nuby rapid cool and shake to cool down. I then add the formula to the remaining boiling water in the bottle to use as a hot shot. I then pour the cooled down water from the nuby rapid cool into the bottle making sure I don’t spill any! I hope that makes sense!

When did you circumcise your baby?
If you DID NOT or DO NOT have a circumcised son DO NOT comment this post is not for you!

Did you wait a certain amount of time or have it done immediately?
Again respectfully, this is only for the parents who choose to do so.
opinions about how not necessary it is will not be appropriate for this post. Thank you in advance. 🩵

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?

Vanilla extract

Has anyone used alcohol free vanilla in their babies formal to help them drink?
I’m 100% sure my baby refuses her bottles as she doesn’t like the taste of it!

Just anxious to try it, don’t want her to get used to it and then refuse bottles again after two weeks of using (correct me if I’m wrong but I’ve read you use it for 2 weeks max)

TIA 🙂

Sex post C section

Hi ladies I’m 4 weeks 5 days postpartum and I had a C section. I’m not bleeding properly anymore just some brownish discharge stuff that starts on and off. I’d like to do the deed with my partner; is it okay to do so or shall I wait the full 6 weeks. I feel up for it but also worried because the advice is 6-8 weeks.

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.

I feel like just a milk cow

Hi I have a 16 day old via c section, I'm a FTM never having been around babies before as I am the youngest of my household and from a small family. My husband is fantastic with our little one. But ever since I've had the baby I just feel like the only thing I'm good for is producing milk. I feel disconnected from my husband like the only reason he's around is because am producing milk. We were having some issues before the baby and we're struggling it took a while to feel like he was onboard even though he said he was from the moment we found out. I dunno if I'm feeling like a spear part because I'm lacking confidence with baby or because I feel like he wouldn't mind being a single dad. Is this postpartum hormones or something else?
