Baby cutlery

Out of curiosity.
If we have to sterilise baby bottles, dummy’s ect.
Do we also sterilise baby cutlery?

I believe you do but i’ve stopped sterilising things as my baby is mobile and anything is in his mouth anyways 🥲 I just let it sit in boiling water for 10 minutes and wash things

Hi second time mum here! Guidance from what I’ve read before is to use warm/ hot soapy water to clean. I use a separate sponge to ours for my baby and keep her stuff on her bottle drying rack to dry. I think you could always use Milton cold water sterilising if the baby cutlery manufacturer instructions say you can sterilise. Never did it for my first and I was super conscious of what I did with her and she’s always been fine ☺️

Following as I don’t sterilise them so be interesting to know if I need to be 🫠👀

I don’t just wash it with baby soap and then pour boiling water over it but even the only when I remember

Spoke to our HV and they said we don’t need to sterilise baby food bits like spoons/bowls. Just wash in warm soapy water

I just chuck all the baby plates/cutlery etc in the dishwasher.

I don’t, just wash them with some soap, rinse well and let it dry on a clean surface… I still sterilise anything that has my milk in (pump, storage bottles, etc), because I read that’s in case there’s a bit of milk residue that will grow bacteria.
My LO puts everything in his mouth nowadays so not sure what’s the point in sterilising anyway 😅

Thanks ladies!

I think I’ll just hot soapy water like normal.

I think it’s all abit overboard this sterilising stuff and I’m the same with the everything goes in there mouth anyway!

Leaky nappy advice

We use mamia nappies and have had no issue until now. We are using size 3 but she is leaking through them every night as she sleeps through the night. We’ve tried 4+ for night but they are still too big. Does anyone have any advice or any other brand that might hold more in a size 3?

Ms Rachel ??

How many of you are putting ms Rachel on??? I’ve just introduced it to my 8 month old and it’s like sorcery. I feel so guilty putting it on because LO don’t take his eyes off the screen, but it’s the only way I’m getting 20/30 minutes during Velcro baby stage. I’ll put it on twice a day for up to 30 mins at a time, the rest of the time we’re out the house, playing with toys or he’s with me doing jobs around the house. Should I even feel guilty?😩

Thoughts on this pram?

I’m 18 weeks pregnant and thinking of prams to get my baby. I saw this on Amazon and it seems affordable, plus the reviews are very positive about the quality of the product. Are there any mamas in the group that got this specific model? If so, how did you find it?

Toddler tippy toeing

My daughter is two been tippy toeing ever since shes learned how to walk. Not sure if it’s a phase or if it’s autism. If it helps shes also a really active baby. Has anyone experienced this with their toddler?

TBH

To be honest- I’m starting to hate that my husband gets to sleep peacefully , getting virtually uninterrupted sleep, while I’m being woken up every other moment by our 5 month old 🙃 I’m so so tired, my body hurts, and I have a little cold that won’t go away. My baby sleeps next to me and feeds on demand (it’s my fault, I know). I tried to regulate him without the boob, tonight, and he started crying. My husband tried to soothe him for less than a minute, but I took him back when I saw my husband was getting irritated by him crying. I ended up feeding him until he was mostly asleep, now he’s sleeping on my chest. I’m awake, I have to use the bathroom, and forgot to take my contacts out, and put nursing pads in, but I’m stuck. Meanwhile, my husband went back to sleep immediately 😮‍💨😤 how do people do this long term? 😩

I am almost 3 weeks postpartum and still bleeding. Can I use tampons yet?

I am so sick of using pads. It’s been almost 3 weeks and I am still bleeding. Can I use tampons yet?
