Nuby rapid cool

Personally I only ever use my Nuby with the hot shot method, to clean them I wash them as normal and then sterilise them with the Milton tablet. I fill the sink up, pop in a tablet and leave them 15 minutes. I’ve never had any issues. Personally I wouldn’t use them multiple times in the night without sterilising if I was doing the usual method of putting the formula into the rapid cool, you wouldn’t reuse a bottle is my reasoning x

You can now buy nuby sterilise on Amazon, makes everything so much easier. Uses UV

@kayla that’s fair enough, I’ve just always been a little unsure on the hot shot method. But saying that I pre make some bottles and store them in the fridge for most feeds, and use them within 24 hours. It’s just hard trying to find a good balance! X

We use the Milton cold water sterilising bucket to sterilise ours but we have 4 rapid cools so just leave it for the morning if we use it properly in the night 😂x

I use them for all feeds and make the milk in them. Once the milk is cooled I wash with hot soapy water and throw it in the milton. They are only meant to be in there for 15 mins so in the day time once she has finished her milk I will get it out but sometimes at night I fall back to sleep and have to get it out in the morning 😅 she does only have 1 feed now though. They are meant to have 3 hours to reset in between too so I have 2 and cycle them. Yes it does need to be sterilised between each use

I also use the hot shot method when I’m out and about I have the tommee tippee prep machine so don’t need it for the night feeds but I’d still only use it for that 1 feed and not again as you’re not removing the bacteria 100% from the rapid cool if you only wash it out and we don’t want our babies getting poorly Xx

I don't think you are allowed to sterilise them. Just wash them in the sink in hot, soapy water. But obviously don't wash the lid as it will no longer work if you do.

@Rachel that’s not strictly true, I’ve washed the lids multiple times and they still work perfectly x

@Kayla you are not supposed to submerge them in water. It quite clearly says on the instructions to just wipe them off with a damp cloth.

@Lauryn we haven't used one for years as my little boy is nearly 3. We obviously used to wipe it underneath as well. It just said not to submerge it in hot water, but didn't say anything about cold water so obviously that is ok.

I’ve never sterilised it just gave it a good wash with Milton soap and hot water at the end of the day and first thing in the morning. Always just cooled the water right down in it. We didn’t need to do the hot shot method as we were on specialised formula x
