My will be 5 month old is going to my mums for a night for the first time ever! I have a load of frozen milk which will be going with him. Obviously I want to make the process as easy as possible for my mum. I have the momcozy portable warmer that looks like a big bottle and the momcozy warmer that has different settings which plugs in. I checked and a 5oz frozen bag takes 24 mins to warm in that. How do people quickly get their frozen milk thawed for feeding? Or any tips? Xx

Pouring hot water over the bag
Sorry to sound silly but:
Does this also warm the milk or just defrost it?
Also how hot like boiling or just warm?
Thank you

Not silly at all, so we use water between 80-90. It will defrost and heat the milk, you can feel how warm it is in the bag, so as in not to overheat it before giving to baby (as well as checking on your wrist) and will only take a few mins before baby can be fed!
My little one is only just 4 months but is rolling and already pretty much grown out of his next to me crib in size! I am an anxious mum and a stickler for following safety guidelines so we are going to dismantle and rebuild his big cot in our bedroom. Obviously that's a big of a faff for just 2 months but the more I think about it the more I can't even think about him moving into his own bedroom anytime soon... It feels so wrong to me to just stick my infant in his own bedroom? 😂 But obviously I know it needs to happen at some point so I'm just curious to see when other parents did the transition whether earlier or later?

Moms, what actually works for getting stains out of your kids’ clothes? 😅 I’m dealing with grease marks and all the random toddler stains. What products do you swear by, and do you pretreat, soak, or just throw everything in the wash?

My little boy will be 10 months old when he starts nursery, he currently needs holding/cuddling to fall asleep then I can place him down in his cot to nap once’s he’s fell asleep. He won’t settle on his own it just results in him screaming crying. But I’m worried about when he starts nursery, will the staff there do the same at nap time or will he expected to self settle himself to sleep?
