Kendamil pre made

If I only use half the pre made bottle and put the rest in the fridge straight away, what are the guidelines to reheat it etc? It says it can be used within 24hrs but Can you leave it out at room temp after putting it in the fridge or does it have to be warmed and drunk immediately?

I use an opened bottle of pre-maid Kendamil within the 24 hours otherwise I discard (the opened bottle is left in the fridge during this period). Once warmed and a feed started, I offer the remaining feed within the hour or discard. Once warmed you have two hours to use the formula but if you start a feed you only have an hour-something to do with bacteria being introduced after contact with saliva . Not sure if that answers your question?

Oh I see. I am not sure, I would say not. I don't keep mine in the fridge until opened as they are kept on the shelves in the shops.

Sorry I misread your comment. I have given the milk at room temperature without warming plenty of times with my 1st child but the bottle had not been refrigerated beforehand.

‘Cry it out’ in my arms

My one month old sometimes cannot be settled despite having all their needs met. Is it ok if I hold him in my arms/on my chest and let him ‘cry it out’? I feel like I’m burning out trying to do all sorts of acrobatic manoeuvres to calm him down. I DO NOT believe in letting a baby cry it out alone/self-soothe. I think it’s harmful and I never want to do that but I was wondering if letting him cry whilst on me was any different because he can feel he’s not alone? Or should I always take all possible measures to get him to stop crying?

Mum Guilt After My 6-Week-Old Baby Fell on the Floor

I’m really upset and struggling with a lot of mum guilt right now. My six-week-old baby loves sleeping on my chest, especially when we’re lying on the bed. Lately I’ve been extremely sleep deprived and haven’t been getting much rest. This morning at around 3:45 a.m., I woke up to a loud thump followed by my baby crying. When I opened my eyes, I realised he had fallen onto the floor. I was absolutely devastated.

I immediately called 111 and took him straight to A&E. Thankfully, he was examined by the doctors and discharged, and they reassured me that he was fine.

Normally, if I’m lying down with him, I put him back in his cot or beside me once he’s settled. I honestly don’t remember falling asleep. The last thing I remember is patting him to sleep, and then I woke up to hear him crying on the floor.

Seeing my six-week-old baby lying there broke my heart. I can’t stop replaying the moment in my mind and blaming myself for what happened. I know it was an accident, but I feel terrible.

My baby struggles with reflux and hates sleeping in his cot, which is why he often settles best when he’s on me. However, after this scare, I’m determined to be much more careful and make sure he’s sleeping in a safe space, even if it’s more difficult and means less sleep for me.

I’m just feeling incredibly guilty and upset about the whole situation.

Any tips?

How are we keeping the bedroom cool for our little ones? It’s a struggle I feel I’ve tried everything 😩

baby sleeping on their side

My baby is 3.5 months and when i put her in the crib she is on her back.. eventually she moves around and ends up sleeping on her side. Is this something normal? Should i be concerned because dr google is telling me it increases the risk of suffocation and SIDS and now i’m freaked out.

Play time

Are you playing with your baby every wake window? I’m exhausted of keeping her entertained
