Melted bottle lids and nipples

So I just melted bottle lids and plastic nipples while I was trying to sanitize them in boiling water on the stove. I got to carrying the baby because she was crying a lot. I completely forgot I left bottles on the stove. I was sitting in the living room when I got a wiff of something smelling and ran to the kitchen with baby in my arms. She’s 2 months old and I’m worried about the smell in my living room and if the smell alone can harm her. I’m in a different room now but I can smell it still. What should I do?? Someone please help me:(

Sorry this happened. :( I’m glad you’re in a different room now. My best advice would be to try and open all the windows and run fans to air out the place. If you have an air purifier or AC, run it on high too. If you still feel nervous, maybe give your pediatrician a call? Sending you a big hug.

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

4 month bed time

What time do you put your babies to bed?
What time do you start your 'routine?'
My LO currently goes to bed around 10.30pm, and I know i need to start bringing it forward. Everytime ive tried, it takes longer for my LO to settle.
We are exclusively breastfeeding. Any advice Mamas?

Combi feeding advice

Has anyone gone from EBF to combi feeding? Currently do one bottle of EBM per night and they one half formula half breast milk mixed in the day. The other times she still feeds on me. Ideally I want to feed all day via bottle and all night with breast. She’s 7 weeks and takes a bottle well, how long should I leave it before adding another bottle to her daily routine?

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰
