Steriliser

What’s the best sterilising method for MAM bottles? I’m aware they are self sterilising in the microwave however was looking at the Tommee Tippee steam steriliser? Anyone use Mam bottles with this method or any other recommendations would be greatly appreciated ☺️

I’m going to use Milton cold water steriliser this time. Everything ready in 15 minutes and the solution is effective for 24 hours x

We just used the microwave for the MAM bottles but if you are going to be using a Nuby rapid cool I would also recommend the Milton cold water steriliser x

I used the tommee tippee steam and this time using milton cold water. As soon as you open the lid of the steam any bottles left in are no longer sterile, cold water stays sterile as long as in the water x

We’ve tried microwaving the actual bottles, microwave steriliser, Milton cold water steriliser and I didn’t love any of them. This time we’ve got the Tommee Tippee UV steriliser and drier in one, I think this might be the perfect one for me. No burning my hands or having a separate drying rack for the bottles with the Milton one (I know you don’t have to dry them but my sensory issues cannot with wet bottles and I didn’t like the idea the chemicals were being consumed by my prem babies) xx

First time mum so can’t talk from experience but I’ve bought Mam bottles and a Milton steriliser! Our microwave recently broke so that threw that option out for us 🙃

No advice re: Mam bottles as I never used them but we absolutely loved the steam steriliser and dryers (we had a Minbie one) as I found I was sterilising stuff but then it felt pointless then drying them off again which would introduce bacteria again.
I didn’t want to use Milton as it’s essentially dilute bleach and it felt wrong to not rinse and dry diluted bleach from bottles before feeding baby from them personally xx

We used mam bottles first time and just sterilised in the microwave and will do again this time too. Way quicker and easier than getting a separate steriliser x

When do things get easier?

As we entered the 9-12 month stage, my son started crawling and pulling himself up. He also became more clingy and does not play alone, still doesnt sleep through the night, and this week has been sick (so EVERYTHING amplified). I am tired and overwhelmed. Please lie and tell me things get better. 🥺

Colostrum storing?

Has anyone successfully extracted colostrum before the baby’s born? Apparently it gets produced from 16w pregnant and you can start storing it in the freezer but I’m 34w looking at my nipples and the syringes on amazon wondering how it works?? Like what did you use and did it hurt? 🥲

Self settling

Any tips or advice of how to teach 6.5month old to self settle? I’m up multiple times in the night to cuddle her back to sleep and put the dummy in. I understand she will wake up and want a cuddle etc but any tips on self settling would be appreciated 🥰

Baby losing weight

Hi all, it's been a long time since I had a baby (my son is 15!). My daughter is 10 days old and was 9lb born, she has since lost weight at every appointment and is at a 12% loss. I am breast feeding every two hours for over an hour and topping her up every feed. I pump and can get 60ml in 10 minutes so I know my supply is okay. Anyone had this before? Can give me some tips? I currently feel like I'm letting my baby down.

Did I overreact?

I have had 3 c sections, recently had a wisdom teeth removal (4) to be exact and all my mom did was visit the day BEFORE and then she only sent 1 text. She has NEVER spent one full day with me and doesn’t acknowledge my achievements much. She just isn’t there when I need her to be. She claims she’s always working but she lives like 7 minutes away! she can come help with the kids so my husband can have break? we don’t ask her for much and she only sees the kids 1-2 a month. She also didn’t visit with my last c section. I told her that she should’ve gotten the abortion when she had the chance with me because why would you have me and neglect me emotionally? To not actually give me a present father in my life. I am very angry all she does is disappoint me. She only wants to show up for certain people in the family and I just want to grab her and shake her and ask her why can’t she be a good present mother?
