Night Time Bottle Prep/Nuby Rapid Cool

We have 2 Nuby rapid cools and a insulator. I have seen on TikTok people prep their rapid cools for the night and use a thermal flask as it stays hotter for longer.

My questions is, does any one use this method? I thought you had to sterilise the nubys after every use and could only use them once every 4 hours?

Would appreciate this advice xx

I'm about to start using a rapid cool and from what I've seen if you are using the hot shot method you only have water in the rapid cool, therefore you don't need to sterilise after every use. The flask is to keep the water about 70⁰ for the hot shot - at least that's what I think 🤔

We use this method!

We take a thermos flask of boiled water upstairs with us at night along with the rapid cool.
If you’re putting formula into the rapid cool then yes it will need to be sterilised after each use 😊 we have 2 rapid cools and alternate between them so there’s time for washing and sterilising between.

Some people use the hot shot method (loads of videos on TikTok!) so only water goes into the rapid cool, no formula. The only thing with the hotshot method is that you’re only adding a small amount of the hot water to the formula rather than the full amount of hot water that the formula brand recommends for that amount of formula to kill the bacteria 😊
I used the hotshot method for my 1st though and he was fine!!
Hope that helps xx

Personally we would make up our bottles before we went to bed, pop them in the fridge and then once baby wakes one parent would change their nappy whilst the other would go and put a bottle in the bottle warmer. Ready in a couple mins perfect temp!

I use the rapid cool with water only, get it to the right temperature and then add it to the bottle, and then add the formula, before shaking it all together.

This has been working fine for us so far. Can't be dealing with sterilising it after every use.

Also use a flask for the water, as this keeps it hotter longer than the nuby.

Wdy think of this for a toddler to learn word construction?

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 🙂

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.

Car seat crying

My 6 month old PANICS the second I put him in a car seat and screams, cries, chokes and recently even projectile vomited on a 14 minute drive. It’s gotten to the point I don’t even bring him out unless it’s to a doctors appointment. I’m a stay at home mom with no family in my state and it has been very isolating. We’ve tried 3 different car seats with no improvement. Has anyone had a baby who hated the car seat? Any advice? This started at 3 months. I will add it does seem worse when he’s tired. He does cry on every trip though. He only contact naps and co sleeps so he reaches for me and will not sleep in the car seat.

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.

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?
