Help! Sterilising

I have the electric Tommee tippee steriliser and when using the bottles are still wet! Are the products safe to use whilst wet? I’m just paranoid that it’s not 🤣 I sterilise the medela hand pump and still use it when wet but always concerned if I’m doing the right thing. I shake as much water as I can. Some websites say air dry and others say not to

Any one know Toni?

I specifically mentioned in my post this is a no judgement group chat & this is the first thing she does be careful because me and my friend were once in a group chat with her a while back and she talked so dirty to us because we gave our babies purees said "your doctors know nothing " "your baby is gonna have issues " and "yall are dumb" that "i trust online research not my doctors " just beware!!!

Ms Ratchel

Okay moms. I’m feeling super guilty. I let my 10 month old watch ms Ratchel, it’s not an every day thing but I run out of ideas to play with him. He refuses to crawl, hates tummy time and has no interest in wanting to try. Any other moms currently going through this?

Passport

Hello,

I applied for my baby’s first passport on the 10th of August and sent the dad’s passport and the full birth certificate as the dad is the one who is British. On the tracking, I can see that the documents were received on the 18th of August and up till this very moment, it’s not moved from that. We did the standard processing time and it’s about 5wks+ now since documents were received. Unsure why it’s taking this long and if anyone has similar experience or advice. My baby’s dad has an emergency where he needs to travel internationally and he’s thinking we should request his passport back and let the application continue. Don’t think that’s wise but it’s been way too long and it’s super important that he travels by next week.

We called the passport office and they advise to continue waiting without any much info. They said if we need the dad’s passport that we’ll have to send an email to request for it and also mentioned the application will still continue. I don’t know how true this is. We plan to call them on Monday and then send the email to request just the dad’s passport back. I don’t know if we can ask them to upgrade the application and pay for a faster processing at this point as it’s way past the 3wks normal standard processing time.
Really disturbed by this. I’ll appreciate any advice or guidance on this.

7 month old poop

My 7 month old pooped normally this morning. He ate avocado and banana mixed with my breastmilk and then pooped (image shown) 30 min later. Does this look concerning? He’s exclusively breastfed and acting normal.

Hair shedding

Is anyone else’s hair falling out like crazy right now??? Im 4 months pp. In the shower any time I wash it I am loosing soooo much hair it’s actually scaring me now 🙈 Google says it’s normal but I didn’t have this after having my first baby. It feels so thin and horrible 😭🙈

Sleep help

Hi mamas!
A sleep question..
My little one (13 weeks) tends to go to sleep around 8pm (give or take) after bath, bottle, bed routine. He quite consistently has a good 4-5 hour stretch initially before waking up for a feed around 1-2am. Once he’s fed and settled back in his next to me crib, the rest of the night is very bitty up until he wakes at about 7am. He’ll go down for an hour or so at a time but finds it tricky to stay asleep for longer than that. VERY thankful for the initial stretch but hoping we can maybe nail down a second longer stretch somehow. Any tips or tricks? Thanks in advance!
