Milton cold water sterilisation

I’m currently on holiday and using Milton cold water tablets to sterilise. How do I dry the bottles as I need to take some of the bottles out of the bucket to make room for my rapid cools. If I shake the bottles and they’re still a bit damp when putting together won’t that be an area of bacteria or mould to grow?

Epidural

Hey all! I had my little girl 10 weeks ago. I ended up having the epidural after already having a long labour, I was exhausted in the end, I made a decision to have it.
I am still having a bad lower back and some numbness in my left knee. Has any else experienced this.

Maybe doesn’t help, I had emergency forceps delivery, so I had to be numbed on top of the epidural I was pumping into myself also.

Gro egg

So ofc I was doomscrolling instead of sleeping, did you know you can dim your tommee tippee gro egg?! 🤣

I honestly can’t even with not knowing this 🤣 I’ve really struggled to sleep with it illuminating the entire bedroom and now it’s dimmed down I’m finding it strange 🫠

Bottle Feeding at 5 weeks

My baby is 5 weeks old and is on 5oz every 4 hours which works out to 5 feeds a day so 25oz a day. What’s everyone’s 5 week old on or been on? Am I feeding her too much?

Please don’t think I’m crazy

Not technically a poll but I need answers and this is the biggest group. My friend and I are debating back and forth about our babies’ ages. My daughter was born January 12th. Today is exactly 24 weeks. Which would be the equivalent to 6 months. But she said no. June 12th is 5 months. January 12th to June 12th. Her baby was born May 28th. She said she’s a month old yesterday. I said no.. she’s a month and 4 days old. Now I feel like we don’t even know how old our fricken kids are lmfao. Someone explain how they do this?

Perineal tear recovery 🙏

I gave birth a week ago and had two tears - one episiotomy and one ✨ spontaneous ✨ tear. It’s still very sensitive and sore, especially when I’ve sat for a long time or go for a wee. If you had a tear, when did it start feeling better? I feel like the first couple of days weren’t even that bad. Maybe it’s because the stitches are starting to dissolve now? Idk

It doesn’t feel infected or anything like that but today I went for a wee and it literally made me cry from the sting 🥲

I have a peri bottle and do all of the right things in terms of keeping the area clean etc.
