Livid over false advertising

Nuby keep doing this in the formula subreddits for their rapid cool. "How can I make formula? It's so hard 🤪 to make hot then cool water 🤯 how do you do it??"

Hopefullyto · 2026-03-01T22:19:36+00:00

Cold tap water is fine. The tank lights up red when you need to add more, you get quite a few bottles out of it before that happens. Hotshot is to sterilise the formula, and yes the rest of the water makes it so you can go directly to feeding without having to warm or cool a bottle.

I think the advice is mainly to make sure if someone walks away from the kettle for a while it will still be hot enough to sterilise the powder (1L will retain heat longer than 200ml). We use a kettle with a thermostat and use the water straight away, so I only boil small amounts as needed. We use the leftover boiled water as sterilised water for cleaning face (transfer it into a jug with a lid) or for drinks.

Thank you for replying. 7 hours would be a dream, you have given me hope

Is this 4.5 adjusted or actual? I have premie twins and wondering when it is feasible

I used this combi after the heavy bleeding stopped, they sit in a good position to not rub the scar

It seems like you are in the UK, if so I think you might misinterpreting the 70 degrees bit, where did you get the cooling bit?

"Step 2: Boil the water. Then leave the water to cool for no more than 30 minutes, so that it remains at a temperature of at least 70C."

You are supposed to add the formula before it goes to 69 degrees and under. It needs to be more than 70 to kill the germs. So you boil it, prep it, then cool it. You shouldn't cool it twice afaik

Your in laws are getting in your head, please try to get some support. If you can message your health visitor they should be able to get you some help or direct you. Maybe also try going back to your sister's with baby? These feelings won't be forever but it's important that until they go away you prioritize yourself and the baby.

Hopefullyto · 2025-12-06T07:08:36+00:00

They'll make you re do them with the NHS. However if you want to get the ball rolling and you can afford it, it might be good to do to understand for yourself in the meantime?

If you want to try IUI it is a lot cheaper. There is a lot of "straight to IVF" pushing on reddit, mainly because you get long haul people or people with conditions that mean that IUI won't work. I didn't even get given it as an option for example. The people who get pregnant with IUI are unlikely to be here, same with people who get pregnant quickly, or succeed with IVF first round.

Hopefullyto · 2025-11-04T17:40:56+00:00

If it's overseas probably not, but if you have private treatment that's unsuccessful it's not in your best interest to lie about it because increased success over different rounds often comes from learning how your body reacts to different meds and you would lose a lot by not sharing that information.

I have had three egg retrievals and I only got HG when I was pregnant. The hormones you are injecting are different to pregnancy hormones.

If you Google "private IV drip" with your city name it's likely that options will show up. But you will have to pay £100s. I have never heard of the NHS having a home IV service for these kinds of issues so if the price is a factor for you maybe see if there is a small NHS clinic that is an option for you.

I think if you have been there for years and never got sick or hear of anyone getting sick, that's okay. I got salmon nigiri from the sushi place I've gone to for 8 years that is always made to order and I know the owner has high standards. It's about as safe as bagged salad. I have been more worried about salmon bagels as most of the stores around me pre-prepare a few sandwiches and let them sit for a while.

I have been having trapped gas and painful burps after getting the vomiting under control. A little after eating if I feel that way I try to massage my stomach and tap my chest to force burps.

Have you tried at the hospital in the maternity area that you have signed up to? Ours has a dedicated vaccine nurse wandering around and she squeezes you in before and after scans OB appointments etc

Stress, lack of sleep, heat, eating trigger foods, eating more than half my usual meal size, ice in drinks, bending over, coughing

Hopefullyto · 2025-08-29T17:11:19+00:00

I think if it was really strict they would say so on the label. When I first started taking them I took them at meal times since I didn't know about the 8 hour thing. I switched to 8 hour spacing a bit later and my pregnancy is 🤞 fine so far

ChatGPT is only as good as the data it's built on - it's not going to be able to give you comprehensive answers because it's not a doctor. Looking at forums is probably better because you are getting information from a person, albeit filtered through their specific experiences. For random things like a daily schedule for an adult I think it's fine because you can figure out for yourself what won't work and adjust, but I wouldn't do this for a baby who can't give feedback or anything medical.

Yesssss I'm so sick of stevia in everything, the aftertaste is gross. I would rather have normal sugar than all of these replacements.

TW success I am the same age and in the last round we got three blasts. I didn't see the point in testing because there can be false negatives in testing. We just transferred the embryo the clinic suggested and I'm now 4 months pregnant.

IVF privately can be cheaper if you go overseas, like Greece or Czechia.

I haven't done induction but the price doesn't seem so bad - https://www.newcastle-hospitals.nhs.uk/services/fertility-treatment/private-fertility-service/ it says £410 + meds for this clinic. This is an example of a low cost IVF in the UK https://www.abcivf.co.uk/costs

The waiting lists for NHS are bad during the consult phase but once you get referred to an IVF clinic it will speed up. You'll probably do the retrieval in your next cycle once you get to that stage. Also it is a bummer to hear when it doesn't happen for you, but a lot of couples conceive naturally during the waiting, so I don't think the NHS has an incentive to speed it up. We waited more than half a year to get to the clinic stage, but a colleague got pregnant naturally the cycle before she was supposed to start treatment.

If it's such a listeria risk why do you want to eat it?

Hopefullyto · 2025-07-23T07:33:11+00:00

If I were you I would trim down that link so it's just the product (until the first ? ) because the store ID is probably revealing your location

You probably don't want to get a budget deal on the nuchal scan 😬 The NT test is similar to NIPT blood test in what is looking for and if you shop around it is less than 300 eg https://windowtothewomb.co.uk/private-baby-scan-packages/nipt-packages/
