I was putting away all babies bottles, steriliser etc today and got a little overwhelmed with it all! I know it sounds stupid but I'm scared about everything, from feeding my baby properly to changing his nappy! Then it crossed my mind about the hospital? Will I need to take my steriliser and everything to the hospital, how do I feed him in hospital? I know some people might laugh at these questions but I genuinely don't know and I'm worrying 😓
I've bought ready made aptimil. They are small bottles with sterilised teats.x
thank you girlies....love this app! can always rely on you lot to make things feel better and not as daunting knowing we are all in the pretty much the same boat! xxx@firsttimemummy21 @mich77 @street29 @tasha349
I agree @street29....and also day trips for the early days - if I can walk hahaha.
@mich77, that's what I also said with the starter packs lol I think they r so handy especially if ur not breastfeeding
they look good! I'm glad they do something like that to take the hospital! I wouldn't have even known about them so thank you @mich77 xx
and I agree, it's very overwhelming and this is my 4th child. things have changed so much since having my last one 8 years ago. ul be fine hun. xxx
I think all hospitals are different as the one near me doesn't provide the bottles @street29 @jetrum however in the cow and gate starter pack I got it comes with sterile bottles and teats that you just open and screw together. il find you a pic. different brands do them aswell as not sure which milk you're going for. I've seen sma and aptimil xxx
exactly @firsttimemummy21 I didn't even know about those either! And apparently you can only leave baby in the car seat/bouncer chair thing (basically anything where they are in that slanted position) for 1 & 1/2 hours a day at most? so that made me rethink about the whole pram system and everything! xxx
@jetrum, I know! No one ever tells you the simple things! I had no idea you're meant to use a sheet in the carry cot part of the pram! Nor that you can't use sleeping bags until they're at least 10lb! xx
aw don't worry hun we've all been Through it! just don't panic they r there to help u! just take already made milk or a starter pack and they'll have little bottles for u 😊 never feel stupid! xx @jetrum xxx
@mich77, @firsttimemummy21 @street29 thank you. I did think I was been a bit stupid thinking about taking the steriliser! lol but how do you know if you've never done this before!? it's all very overwhelming don't you think? Thanks again for your advice xxx
they have little disposal sterilised bottles there hun just take already made milk x
I was worrying about all this 😂 I am formula feeding so I am taking my own bottles and sterilising my them before I leave and putting them in a separate bag to everything else. I'm also taking a 1 litre bottle of ready to feed formula :)
I had this convo with my midwife a few weeks ago @jetrum. she said they like you to take in ready made formula and a bottle so they can show you how to sterilise etc. I've bought a pack of 6 ready made bottles (a starter kit) to take plus a bigger bottle of ready made formula and one empty bottle just incase. xxx
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
Birth Plan Rant
I used to be all about getting an epidural, but after research and thinking about it more I want to have an unmedicated birth (this is my first baby). What annoys me is when I say that I'm going to TRY my hardest to have a natural and unmedicated birth people always feel the need to say that I'm crazy or that I'm going to change my mind when I get in that position. Or that epidurals are the best. I do realize that plans change, but why can't people be supportive and encouraging?

My sweet baby girl gained her angel wings this morning. She was my best friend, my true love my everything. She was so happy and beautiful, I'm struggling to say good bye. Sleep tight princess, mummy and daddy love you very very much ❤️
my baby daddy's ex wife works at the hospital I'm having my daughter she is just a cleaning lady she tell me they let her move the babies around I'm scared this women will take my baby she even tells me if I have my baby early she could see her ever day .. my doctor only delivers at this hospital I don't know what to do . this is why I don't want to have my baby early ..
I don't care what ppl think of me, but I'm seriously considering putting my baby up for adoption. I love her with all of heart, but doing this alone is hard. Every single night she just screams to the top of her lungs and I do everything to soothe her. I don't know what to do at all. I wish I had some kind of help. I don't have a single ounce of help. I don't know a single soul in Minnesota either.
@titch.82, that's what I've just ordered off amazon? the starter kit? so I take it they just stay sterilised until you open them? @tg123456789 it can feel quite daunting at times can't it! xxx
