Rinsing Milton bottles

I use water sterilising for storage and convenience. I just saw on the packet to rinse but I haven’t for months now . My baby is very impatient and I looked online and it said it’s only for regulation.

Basically I’m asking for permission to just not add another step while he cries for milk. If I’m wrong please tell me and I’ll begrudgingly wait for the water to cool to rinse his bottle while he screams bloody murder.

Oh I wish my breasts could produce enough !!

Breastfeeding

Since I am exclusively breastfeeding do I need to pump at night ? I occasionally try to pump through out the day . Baby girl is only 5 days old

Weaning and feeding help!

Hi all, I have a 5 month and 3 week old! Planning to start weaning food next week however just need some advice with a couple things if anyone is able to help!

With food what is the recommendation with milk? Do we keep it the same for now?
How often do we feed her food? They say at the start it’s just trying food but when do you start giving them actual meals? And how do I know how to remove milk feeds? Or reduce?

Also formula help!! Baby is on kendamill, she takes approximately 210ml / 7oz 5 times a day.. is anyone in a similar position and how does this work in terms of upping milk or reducing feeds but higher intake? Her current plan is/
8:30 am first feed 7oz
12:30 second feed 7oz
4:30 third feed 7oz
8/8:30 fourth feed 7oz
11:30/12 fifth feed 7oz

Any advice would be AMAZING x

Baby not sleeping at night

Cluster feeding back to back. Literally not stopping from about 9pm -5am. And it’s never a full feed, it’s always 5-6 minutes, fall asleep, try to put her down and then repeat.
I have a toddler and I’m dreading my partner going back to work because how the hell am I supposed to function on literally no sleep?!
