Rapid cool help!

Just got to family who are hosting Boxing Day and even though I’ve packed the house I forgot the nuby rapid cool!
What’s the best way to make the bottle without it?
We’re a 2 hour round trip to go back to get it!

Either a jug or sit in a shallow bath of cold water in the sink, only takes a few minutes to cool ☺️

Do you use mam bottles? If so please be aware that if you put them in cold water they draw up the water from the jug, if you search on Google there's a tip online for loosening the lid or something to stop this happening.

Jug of cold water to cool it down. Just take the lid off to stop it drawing water in.

For the way home pop some water into a spare bottle to cool it down and use a flask (assuming you have one) for hot water to do the hot shot method in the car or premake a bottle for the car as it’s fine for 3-4 hours freshly made x

Just boil a kettle and keep that cooled water for the remainder of milk and use hot shot method for the powder

6oz of boiling milk takes 15-20 minutes say in a jug of cold water x

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? 🥲

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 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
