Perfect prep machines

I have just read they are not recommended but we have the Tommee tippee one, has anyone used these and found them okay? If not how are people making formula?

My brother used a babybezza machine that dispensed hot water at the correct temperature and found this really helpful.


Would this be recommended?

I use one and have no problems. I also do the hot shot method when I'm out and about which also isn't recommended but I've not had any issues from that either x

My partner was heavily recommended getting one by majority of the parents on his team at the office he works at

We use nuby rapid hot and rapid cool with the steriliser, we got is as a bundle for 150 incl a flask and 2x cools. It's still not 1000% failsafe but we are getting on well with it and I know the rapid cools are very popular, so much so they are sold at aldi! Also lets you make on the go xx

This is news to me, I’ve used prep machines since 2020 (3 children) and never had an issue at all. I was also just advised by my health visitor that those rapid cool things aren’t advised something to do with reflux/colic🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ (i don’t use them anyway as I just make my bottles up with boiling water if I’m heading out) I feel like they make it up as they go along to be honest, not everyone is going to have the same experience with things.

But yeah, I use my tommee tippee prep machine with no issues. Always have done.

Perfect thankyou 💕

We love ours and to be fair the main reason the nhs don’t recommend it is because the hot shot isn’t “hot enough” to kill bacteria in the formula… I checked how hot the hot shot goes and it’s usually 84 degrees and it has to be at least 70 by nhs guidelines..


Hope that reassuring xx

I have used a tommee tippee one with both my babies. I've never had any issues and feel they are really good

We had one for when our 4 year old was a baby and never had an issue with her feeding. Now we use it for our 8 week old and again, not had any issues

IM MORTIFIED!!!

My 5 yr old caught me and my husband having some naughty time. We were both fully clothed vigorously kissing me giving him a handy down his trousers his hands on my boob I look over and my son stood there silent. Neither of us heard him walk up. I'm so embarrassed. He doesn't know what we were doing but it would definitely have look odd to him. My husband just said casually we are having a cuddle. Please tell me this has happened to other people we were in a private space

Long periods of sitting

Help please! I know you can't lie flat on your back but are you allowed to sit propped up in bed leaning back for long periods?

I am so tired this pregnancy I can't sit straight up for very long before I flop back

Silent reflux or wind ? 😩

My little one is almost 3 weeks old, (still very young so I’m aware his digestive tract is developing) But the past few days I’ve had no sleep at all due to him being in discomfort, especially at night. He has a feed (formula fed) and struggles to burp but eventually does. I keep him upright for at least 30mins. When I put him down, he grunts and squirms and eventually cries. I’m wondering if this is a silent reflux issue (for which he’ll likely need gaviscon) or trapped wind ( he’d need Dentinox / Infacol)
Some of his main symptoms:
- lots of farting, he squirms and cries and will eventually fart
- he gulps and gasps during a feed ( I do burp him in between) he finishes his bottle happily
- he often makes a sour face after a feed and swallows in discomfort
Any advice on what this could be?

Cluster feeding? Baby not sleeping

Currently 2 weeks pp with an exclusively breastfed baby. I’m a first time mum and struggling quite a bit with sundown scaries, my baby doesn’t sleep and if she does it’s never peaceful and she grunts and cries in her sleep all night, she feeds every hour but then I have to wait 20 mins for her to be put in her next to me or she’ll wake up but then by the time I’ve got her down she’s due to wake again (she wakes herself up) my midwife said she’s probs snack feeding because she keeps falling asleep at the boob, any tips to keep her awake during feeds so she sleeps for longer? I also think it’s because she knows she’s not jn my arms so she doesn’t sleep

I need some toddler appropriate consequences for not listening/following instructions

To add to this is it a good idea to reward toddlers for doing what is expected of them ie brushing teeth, eating all their food etc? And at what point do you stop this as I don’t want my child to expect rewards as she gets older for doing things she’s supposed to.
