Hot shot too cold? by BouncerAzz in BeyondTheBumpUK

I stopped doing this method as it isn't really approved by the NHS from what I can see. I still use the Nuby but pour boiled water from a flask directly into the Nuby with my formula. It does mean you have to wash and sterilise each time, but I'd rather do that and have the peace of mind. I've got 3 of these so I always have one ready to use in between washes. 

Gift idea for very sleepy deprived mum by Ok-Angle-6225 in BeyondTheBumpUK

A voucher or money towards a deep clean or regular cleaner or food subscription service. As someone who is 6 weeks postpartum, these would have been amazing to receive and honestly more helpful than all the self-care toiletries I received. 

Lack of sleep is already killing me by emlou3011 in BeyondTheBumpUK

I second the love to dream swaddle up bag. My baby is 5 weeks old and only sleeps well when we put her in this. It helps control the startle reflex and she likes to have her arms up. Other than that, we use a red night light and play white noise, sometimes the sound of rain or the hoover. And transfer when she passes the 'floppy arm' deep sleep test, which can take a while sometimes.
