Rapid cool

Is anyone used or using a rapid cool.

How easy is it to clean/sterilise after using with fomular?
Also if out all day my understanding is only makes 1 bottle, so what do you do after using it once when out n about?
I never had one with my 1st.

Going to be using a microwave steriliser.
Thanks x

You’d need to use a cool water steriliser like the Milton tabs. Can’t use microwave with it to clean due to the metal and the top can’t be used in steam sterilisers either.

I use the hot shot method with mine (google/youtube if you’re not sure what this is). That way I get unlimited uses out of it as long as I have access to hot water. Only downside is you’ll need to wait for the milk to cool down a bit, so not ideal if baby starving and screaming :(

Thank you for the response, never thought of that with the microwave 🤷‍♀️
Yeah I did the hot shot method with my daughter just using a normal flask. I use to try pour it in plenty of time to give it chance to cool.

You can but a steraliser specifically for the nuby flasks. I have one it's UV and only takes a minute that is what I use to steralise. They can't gonin microwave. X

I’ve used it 8 months literally since her birth, do the hot shot method so the only thing that’s ever been in either flask is just hot water. Also take it out all day with small tubs of formula and now she’s on bigger bottles I just a big flask so get about 4 bottles from it as it doesn’t need cleaned between uses with it only having hot water in

Best thing I did for pumping

When my son was born he was 6 weeks early and my supply was not in and I didn’t want to formula feed him. I got an amazing output after 5 days straight of pumping for what felt like hours and then when he left the NiCu and he came home my supply drooped rapidly, like over 150ml to under 60mls and this kid wanted to eat a lot so the stress didn’t help. I did my research and started drinking mother milk and Moringa tea every morning and let me tell you the difference after a few hours is scary good. The photo is after 13 mins of pumping on a machine that when I used it for 30 mins I got the smallest amount.

This might not work for everyone but it’s definitely something I personally recommend trying at least once if you can and your supply is low.

This is coming from some that did everything, coconut water, oats, hot showers, body armour sports drink, power pumping.

Thoughts on taking one to hospital?
Think there’s advice to wait if you’re planning on breastfeeding but could be wrong. Hopefully planning on just expressing milk and have plenty of colostrum.

Have you had a “do whatever you want” moment? Share the battles you didn’t pick

At 2am my youngest was inconsolably screaming. After 20 minutes trying to figure out what she wanted she got a bar, but no it doesn’t stop there! She refused to throw the wrapper away and instead insisted on sleeping with it. So there she was snuggling with an empty bar wrapper like it was her most loved possession and I finally got to go back to sleep (I went to bed at 1:30 so I was in no shape to fight again lol)

Anyone else in the same boat

My girl is 3 months old 4 months on the 14 th
And the only way to get her to sleep is motion or she just won’t go to sleep anyone else having to do the same ?

Getting scared it’s a habit now

colostrum

i know they say how much colostrum you collect before birth doesn't influence your milk supply after birth but today (my third time collecting it) I got 18 syringes and am worried I'll be an oversupplier and get infections because of it

Anyone anxious birthing a whole human infront of their husband?

I don’t want him to see ANYTHING! What if I poop and he sees it? Or just the pure trauma from all the blood and obviously what your coochie looks like during birth.
