UV sterilisers

Does anybody use a UV steriliser? We have a Tommee Tippee one that a friend gave to us and it's great, but I've only just read that the NHS don't recommend them. I'm also not sure (now I've finally started doing my research nearly 4 months later 🙈) whether our bottles - NUK Perfect Match can be UV sterilised either. Wondering whether to get a different steriliser or try different bottles that are compatible with it

4am wake up

My baby is 9 weeks old and wakes up by 4am every single day, she will fall asleep on me around 5.30 but won’t settle back in her cot. When will this phase pass and is there anything I can do to push it later? She has her last big feed at 1am so she shouldn’t be hungry.

8.5 month old still having mucus & blood in stools 😔

Hi moms 🤍 Has anyone dealt with ongoing mucus and blood in stools at this age?

We suspected FPIAP/allergic colitis, so I’ve been on a strict elimination diet for a while, but it still comes and goes. His stools are watery from breastmilk but a bit thicker with solids. Some diapers improve, then pink/red streaks and mucus come back again.he poops frequently about 5 times per day

Doctors mentioned possibly doing a Meckel scan if it doesn’t fully resolve.but I really don’t want to do the scan because the blood is not only symptom .(Meckel is usually a lot of blood only)

I’m exhausted and honestly just looking for experiences and reassurance 🤍

Kendamil Milk

Do you prepare Kendamil formula with water at 70°C?

I tickled someone’s baby 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

Ok so in the line to pick up my child from school I was talking to another Mum who was holding her baby, probably about 8-9 months old and she was smiling at me so I just out of habit gave her a little tickle on her tummy without even thinking. Afterwards I remembered that this Mum is very particular about people touching her baby and I’ve heard her telling her son not to touch until he’d washed his hands. I’ve noticed she’s been a bit different with me since and not as friendly. Should I address it with her or just let it go?

Drinking and breastfeeding

What’s your experience having a drink or two while breastfeeding? I had almost 3 drinks tonight and can’t decide if I need to pump and dump. I have enough to just dump it out but idk if that’s the right thing? Pls lmk

Baby routines

Hey ladies! Be completely honest-whether the answer is yes or no I want to know...are you really able to keep your baby in a schedule at this point? My baby will sometimes feed have an ounce..and leave the rest of the bottle behind..go to sleep, wake up and then decide she wants more milk then sleep again. Other times she wakes up content won't feed for longer than I think and then gulp down 5 ounces. The length of naps have been shortening now too..45 minutes.. sometimes an hour and today 20-30 minutes mostly.
