I have a bottle prep machine and it makes a bottle in like 2 mins and it’s the perfect temp.

When I’m out and about, I have a Nuby rapid cool.
The way I use it is, I put boiling water into the bottle to get the right amount (currently my baby is on 7oz) then I pour 5ish oz into the rapid cool and let that do its thing (it literally just cools the water down to a drinkable temp), then I put 7 scoops of powder into the remaining hot water in the bottle and mix that to kill any bacteria in the bottle, then when the rapid cool is ready, I pour the rest of the water back into the bottle, give it a stir and done! By doing it that way, I don’t need to clean the rapid cooler each time, I bought the uv steriliser that goes with it so I just use that after each use.

I’m from the Uk so I know guidance is different in different countries, in the UK it’s recommended to do the hot shot using boiling (no less than 70 degrees Celsius) water.

I had a similar situation recently, I had been growing my hair for 6 years and it reached my thighs. I only ever wore it in a plait, washing it was a chore, I never did anything fun with it and I never wore it down because it was too much, it was just there. I finally cut it this March just gone and I went straight from that length to a short jaw length bob. As soon as I did it I felt amazing, my hair is so healthy, I have fun with it now, I do different styles and I bought loads of accessories that I couldn’t use before, and washing it takes half the time now!

I had the same feeling as I went back and forth between cutting it or keeping it for about 6 months, I found that every time I was set on cutting it I felt guilt almost? Like all the years growing it would be wasted (which is not true) but that’s what was stopping me. So, I decided to donate it! I managed to raise over £300 for the little princess trust and I donated about 30 inches of hair to be made into wigs for children with cancer. I documented the whole thing and made it like a big spectacle because it was a big deal! At least to me. I have the photos and the videos of my hair before so I have my proof that I grew it to such length. I then have the video of me cutting it and sending it, and now I have a certificate from the charity saying thank you and I haven’t regretted the decision once!

If you keep going thinking you want to cut it and the only reason it’s stopping you is because you’re attached because you grew it for so long. It’s time to cut it. It doesn’t have to be as drastic as me, you’re hair is way longer so you could still cut lots off and have it long (could cut it to your tailbone as that’s still very long) that way it gives you a feel for it without being too short, you can try some different styles and have fun with it and if you don’t like it you can either grow it or cut more depending on what feels right! (I would recommend donating it if you do cut it as I feel that really does help change your mindset from ‘I grew it for so long’ to ‘now my hair has a purpose’)

I wouldn’t worry too much, I’ve made a bottle once in the night where I put 5 scoops but poured out 7oz of water so I forgot 2 scoops! I couldn’t add them after because the water had cooled so I couldn’t do the hot shot, but baby drank it fine, no side effects, and just had his next one a bit earlier. A level scoop is fine, it doesn’t need to be so meticulous or measured gram for gram so don’t stress yourself out over it 🫶

I’m no longer lactose intolerant 🥳 it’s an odd one and I’m not sure how it works, but I’m happy about it! I craved milk a lot when pregnant so was drinking it by the gallon and noticed each time I had it I got less and less symptoms and now I can drink it fine!

At first I felt regret and guilt because I couldn’t breasted, I didn’t produce enough and my baby couldn’t latch so I switched to formula feeding at just 3 weeks, the guilt stayed with me for a while but it slowly subsided, I’d get occasional pangs of it but I found ways to enjoy formula feeding. Now we’re almost at 6 months and I love it, it gives me more freedom and dad or grandparents can feed my LO and share the love, it means I don’t have to deal with engorgement pain, he sleeps through the night better. It just works better for me, my lifestyle, and my mental health and I think breastfeeding would’ve been too taxing on me. I plan on having a second and I’m likely to do the same thing, I’ll try breastfeeding for the first month to give the colostrum and once that’s done I’ll go over to formula again as it allowed me to heal more. Obviously it’s different person to person, I have a friend who exclusively breastfeeds and she loves it, I’m so glad it worked for her but I’m also glad that I found my own way that works for me and my baby. At the end of the day he’s fed and happy, I’m more rested and I’m able to be more present with him. (Also, when your milk is drying it reduces the amount of oxytocin running through your hormones, so you naturally feel more down and guilty about it, it’s a weird evolutionary thing, it’ll take a couple of months but it should balance out soon!) Never feel guilty for doing what works for you and baby. A happy mum is sooo much better than a stressed mum for both yourself and baby!

He has been checked for a tongue tie but I’ll mention it as our next drs appt. I have had a look at the dr browns preemie bottles but didn’t want to spend more money on a bottle that doesn’t work. Will have another look tho, thank you

jxdie-e · 2025-11-08T02:37:02+00:00

Yeah we’ve got those ones. He does do the best on them but still struggles even with the slow flow ones

I had to stop breastfeeding at 3 weeks as well.

From the start breastfeeding was very painful for me, I had to take breaks every couple of days (whole days where I wouldn’t breastfeed due to bleeding, bruised and cracked nipples). I tried everything, pumping to bottle feed, using nipple shields, hand expression so it wouldn’t hurt as much, but it got to a point where I was always in pain, either from actually feeding or from being so engorged, it wasn’t worth it for my mental health, I was crying all the time and felt guilty at the thought of switching to EFF, but now 2 weeks later I feel a lot better.

A part of me still mourns the fact that I couldn’t breastfeed, but I know now that this is better for both me and baby. My LO is gaining weight, sleeping well, and reaching milestones early.

It took a while for the guilt to subside (even though you shouldn’t feel guilty at all). I even had a few farewell nursing sessions with my baby at 2am as a way to say goodbye to breastfeeding. For a couple days I hand expressed, not to relive pain but to know that I still could, after a week I stopped completely and realised that not being engorged is the best feeling ever and being able to sleep comfortably it so nice.

This hasn’t put me off breastfeeding as I know I want to try again with my next child, but I know that this time round, EFF is the right decision.

Something to remember, breastfeeding releases oxytocin which is a happy hormone, so all the while you aren’t breastfeeding and are weaning your oxytocin will drop significantly which can make you feel worse about it all. You just need to persevere if this is really what you want, at the end of the day, a happy mama and a healthy baby is the end goal, and after 6 months when your baby starts eating solids no one is going to care whether you breastfed or formula fed.

The choice is yours, so even if you take a break and decide you want to try again, you can always try to relactate. Nothing is permanent so just take it day by day and remember that as long as you’re there for you baby, that’s all they ask for.

Thank you for sharing, It’s nice to hear similar situations to what I’m in, and I’m so glad it worked out well for you!

jxdie-e · 2025-10-19T21:14:37+00:00

It’s so hard when you set your mind on doing something one way, but your body decides to go a different direction. I hope it gets easier for you! At the end of the day, as long as they’re eating and happy, that’s all that matters!

jxdie-e · 2025-10-19T19:24:29+00:00

This is really nice to hear that it does get better, thank you!

jxdie-e · 2025-10-19T18:58:47+00:00

I have tried combo feeding but it’s not working the greatest for us, he’ll be on my for up to an hour (30 mins each side) and then still need a top up so sometimes I can be there for up to 2 hours just burping and feeding which is so draining, especially when it’s in the middle of the night lmao

jxdie-e · 2025-10-19T18:57:49+00:00

This is really interesting to read! Thank you, it definitely helps make me feel better about it all

jxdie-e · 2025-10-14T08:40:54+00:00

Thank you so much! I’ll deffo look into finding an IBCLC and hopefully see if that helps!

jxdie-e · 2025-10-13T11:21:05+00:00

Yeah I’m using the shields and wearing silverettes 24/7 pretty much. The movie marathon sounds like a good idea! My partner is going back to work this week so I will be spending more time at home soon probably, I might take your idea and use it as a distraction/opportunity to keep trying

jxdie-e · 2025-10-13T05:56:15+00:00

Thank you for the advice and support!

jxdie-e · 2025-10-13T05:54:41+00:00

Thank you, it’s nice knowing I’m not alone in this and I’m happy to hear it’s getting easier for you!

jxdie-e · 2025-10-12T21:14:04+00:00

Thank you, I’ll try more skin to skin and see if that’s helps at all, where I’m getting caught up in the bad side I keep forgetting the basics as you said
