The Grownsy bottle washer has been a most used item since our second baby was born in March :)

You can but i always hand wash my babies it’s easier and only takes a few minutes instead of waiting for the dishwasher to get done and sometimes the dishwasher doesn’t get everything off but hand washing you can get everything off pretty easily

I use the dishwasher, I bought free and clear pods and it works great. I always rinse my bottles after we're done so they're never really gross

I do bottle washer Momcozy until they start solids then pack that thing up to get that big eyesore off my counter and switch to dishwasher

I use the dishwasher (eufy s1 pro), for basically anything I give my baby and everything comes out clean but I also rinse them out if there's milk fat left stuck on the bottles or some food chunks in the fruit pacifiers.
I will wash the parts in the washer itself and I also have descaling tablets to run through the dishwasher to help keep it clean from limescale and other buildup

Yes but mine are glass. I use glass Mason bottle. Using DW constantly for plastic bottles over time the heat will start to fade the ml lines on the side of the bottle.

Both on bad days dishwasher and bottle washer

I use the Momcozy one. Honestly, out of all the new stuff you can buy I recommend the bottle washer. It’s so convenient especially on days where the last thing you want to do is get up and wash bottles.
Nights are hell. Eg we started trying to put him to sleep at 8:30 and he slept at 11pm (yday was midnight) Bear IN MIND WE COSLEEP SO IMAGINE IF WE DIDNT. he woke up at 12 so only slept 1h and we’ve been trying to put him down ever since. It’s now 2:30. We’re both in pain from rocking him for hours and exhausted. Health issues are covered. Doesn’t have cmpa- trialled already. Has reflux - on gaviscon and omeprazole. We want to give up. Don’t know what to do anymore.

I have a 3 week old who doesn’t seem to sleep more than 3 hrs at a time. After feeding, winding and settling down I have about 2hrs before she’s waking again for another feed, bum change, etc. she is refusing to settle with anyone else at the moment, so I’ve not been able to catch a break!
I’m having migraine attacks from the lack of sleep, and while the doctors have been able to provide me with medication for the pain, the practicalities of taking it and sleeping the migraines off just isn’t viable with a newborn.
Anyone else in the same boat and fancies crying with me?😂

I just don't know what to do. My 3 year old daughter has not pooed since Wednesday. She was prescribed lactolose on Thursday but that won't have helped the poo that was brewing.
She keeps holding it in, rather than sit on a potty or even open herself up a bit. She takes a banana shape backwards, clenching her bum. She now desperately needs to go but just won't or can't.
I really don't want to go to A&E on a Sunday (current wait time is 7 hours!) over a child who won't poo but we're getting to that stage. She's obviously in pain when the need to poo arises but I don't know if the pain is from holding it in or pushing.
Any advice? 😖

We have a 2.5 week old. Both my husband and me are full of cold and now our Daughter is. Last night I managed 4.5/5hours sleep (4 hours being from 11:30pm till 3:30pm). Tonight she is only contact sleeping on our chests. I really need her to sleep in her “next to me” but she will not settle. I’m scared of falling asleep with her on me. She’s only settling either on her side or on her tummy. What can I do? Would you sleep with her on you and just make sure you’re propped up by pillows or do you have any tips/tricks to get her to sleep in her cot?

My 7 week old has always been an amazing sleeper. He eats a lot during the day so sleeps long stretches at night. He used to wake up at 1am and 4am for milk, first he dropped the 4am and recently the 1am. He sleeps roughly 11pm-7am. I’m choosing to believe I’m lucky and he will do this forever 😂
