Hello mamas
Do you wash your baby bottles immediately after use especially night feedings 12am-6am
??🥴🥴🥴🥴

Or do you rinse them after each feeding ?
For context - My baby eats every 1hr30 mins 2hrs max .

We have 4 bottles and we don’t wash them immediately. They’re glass tho so it doesn’t absorb bacteria. We recently got 3 additional plastic ones and we one got lost and we found it, but the milk had gone bad and it was like purple and I washed it, the smell didn’t go away so I soaked it in vinegar and then washed it again, it didn’t smell but to be on the safe side, I sterilized it

No . I typically dont wash any bottles all day until late night. Then any bottles used over night sits on the nightstand until the morning.

I leave a hot flask beside the bed pour an inch of hot water in it when it’s finished, shake it up and leave it there till morning to properly wash. So we don’t leave it w milk particles in there.

I just rinse them if I have a minute. Otherwise they wait with residue in them until I get around to it

My son is about 10 months old and with his bottles they typically get washed before a feeding or if I have enough energy the end of the night the ones that are in the kitchen get washed but for context he only has about four bottles sometimes I don’t have the energy for anything and they will wait till the next day to get rinsed but I at least rinse them out during the day

I rinsed after a feeding and then would wash them when I had a handful of them that needed washed and then I’d sterilize them

I rinse out the bottles right away but wash them later in the day

I keep six bottles at a time, every night I wash and sanitize them and they typically last me until the next evening. Made my life so simple. 😭 I even would prefill them with distilled water so I could just pop in the formula and be good to go!

Do men really enjoy fellatio?

Been together more than 10 years, but it's been a while since he even seemed remotely interested in me getting on my knees, or vice versa so to speak. I think it was once last year. Must be something I am doing wrong 🤔. Generally everything else in that department is great and we have two young kids with no extra support, so it's quite surprising we can't keep our hands off each other but may need to try new things. It's basically 2 positions each time with some foreplay.

I think Motherhood has made me more bitter than I realized…

This is such a ramble but I don’t know where else to put it all.

I’m four months in and I don’t really have hobbies right now. I don’t do anything for myself except maybe doomscrolling or listening to a podcast while I breastfeed my baby. I used to craft and have game nights with friends. Activities that usually are at least 2 hour stretches. Now if I have an hour free my mind immediately goes to baby, or doing something in the house for baby.

And I thought I didn’t mind. Like I knew postpartum could be very mentally consuming. But I think it’s altering how I view people around me and it’s prodding at my relationship with my husband.

He spends most of his time making food for us, looking after our dogs, playing with the baby, ect. But he still has time for his hobby. Spends maybe an hour a night on it. Even adapted to using a bot for shopping for his hobby after a certain incident where we had to have a heart to heart after he left me home alone with the baby for hours during a busy workday (I work from home) to shop for his hobby.

And yet there’s like this little green eyed monster in me that rages every time I know he’s running off to start up the bot. Even though I’m the reason he does it this way.

We took a family trip last weekend to see his best friend and their kids and let them meet the baby. He brought the laptop. He’s always brought a laptop on trips and it’s never been a problem to me before. But one night we both woke up while the baby was still asleep, and he wandered out of the room. I tried to fall back asleep but couldn’t. So I went to the kitchen to try having something warm to drink to settle me. And he was there at the table running the bot from his laptop. I flipped out at him. But there really wasn’t reason to. It’s not like I needed help with the baby and he was ignoring me. He wasn’t avoiding our friends. He was just awake and unable to sleep and found something to do with his time. Yet my snap reaction was “why the hell would you do this on a family trip?”

I don’t know what it is. Maybe it’s the less complete sleep from baby’s middle of the night feed? My brain being just consumed by baby? Maybe I’m not as over that shopping incident as I thought? But I’m just so annoyed at his hobby right now. The green eyed monster thinks “you could be using that time differently” but realistically to do what exactly??? Stare at our baby in the dark???

I spent probably an hour apologizing to him after I snapped. And he’s of course hurt and frustrated because I said some very mean things in the moment.

I don’t want to be this jealous, angry person. But I also don’t know how to find time for myself in this right now outside of basic hygiene. It’s like I’ve forgotten how to be myself, even if just for an hour.

Maybe I need a therapist.

Little one is 9 months old and will have 2 half hour naps and one solid 1 hour - 2 hour nap a day

Then settles for night around 9pm. Wakes for a feed around 3:30 then sleeps until 6-7
