We wash ours the same as bottles, hot soapy water. We sterilise with the nuby rapid sterilise device once it's dry, we have in the past used Milton's as well (same as we use with bottles for sterilising).

When out and about making bottles, I do the hot shot method, so only water instead of the made formula goes in rapid cool, that way I have a rapid cool which doesn't need to be washed and sterilised if I am out all day and needing to make multiple bottles.

So say you're make a 6oz bottle. You'd pour out 6oz of boiled water as normal into the empty bottle. Then rather than add formula at this point, I tip out 5oz of the water into the rapid cool and start cooling it. With the remaining 1oz boiled in the bottle, I then add the formula to it and mix so bacteria is killed. Then when rapid cool has cooled the water, I add that back into the bottle and mix again before giving to baby. I always test the bottle, but never had any problems, I found it worked fine once baby was drinking more than 4oz, any less than this then the bottle wouldn't be cool enough. But because you've only used the rapid cool for boiled water you then don't need to sterilise everytime so great when out and about. We wash the rapid cool every 1-2 days just to keep clean in general.

Rock to Sleep? Or Cry to sleep?

not too long ago, my fiancé allowed our baby to cry himself to sleep because our son was tired. I entirely oppose to this way of nurture I despise it. There’s no way that these tiny creatures who were born with no coping abilities are somehow going to go to sleep with no comfort, I find it absolutely neglectful. I wanna share this topic asking for a mothers opinion as well how do you feel about the “cry it out” method does it work? Does it not? What’s your thoughts on it?

Co-sleeping and a glass of wine?

So this post I know might be a one where you will judge me, but hey I am only human.

I haven’t had any alcohol since before I was pregnant. I’m co- sleeping my 9 month old and I am quite anxious to put her in any risk.

The weather is so nice and I really fancy a nice cold glass white wine on the terrace.

I know the advice is not to drink anything and co - sleep. But my baby is good at letting me know when she is unhappy.

But what is your thoughts?

Cleaning girls privates

My baby is 3 months old, I noticed she was red in between her lady parts. Which would make sense as to why she didn’t want to be sat and kept straightening up her body ☹️ I cleaned with warm water and sudocream.

Mammas with girls, what’s the best wipes? Or do you just use warm water and a cotton pad? How do I keep her little area red free? Does she need a bigger size nappy also? Any advice welcome!

Night time nappies

My LB has always been in mamia nappies but since moving him to size 4, he leaks every night and it’s starting to affect his night sleep! I’ve tried the pull up size 4 mamia and last night tried pampers but he still leaked bless him. Does anybody have any hacks please?

Why do people like to give unsolicited advice about breastfeeding my baby?

My baby is 1 (just turned one a few weeks ago). She’s always been breastfed. When people realise I still breastfeed my baby I always get comments. Just the other day my friend told me that I should probably stop breastfeeding now as I’ve done it for a year and she would have gotten all the benefits from bf already. She said bf is so hard and I will have no freedom if I don’t stop, and then she told me which formula she recommended. Advice which I didn’t ask for. I’m quite happy the way things are going and have no intentions of stopping anytime soon. So why the unsolicited advice?
