My god it’s so overwhelming. Don’t do the hotshot, do the hotshot, make sure it’s over 70c, don’t leave it out, put it in the fridge but only for this long
I only just learned you have to wake a newborn up every three hours to feed no matter what! I thought they’d sleep through the night about 6-8 hours loooool
They told me to wake to feed, so I just kept doing it. And it was 3 hours from the start of the last feed so if it took 45min to feed, 15 to get them back off, I’d get maybe 2 hours sleep and have to wake again. I had a HV appointment and mentioned the delirious lack of sleep and they were like “oh yeah, once they’re back to weight, you don’t need to do that” I was
“perhaps you should’ve mentioned that”
As a baby I slept through from 8 days old, they didn’t have that advice then.
The bottle feeding rules have changed loads since my first just 3 years ago too.
That’s what I meant the other day about being so strict to follow advice you tie yourself in knots and it gets rescinded anyway. Survivor's bias isn’t a valid reason to go against the rules but if you can’t physically do it or be safe around baby because you’re so tired, you
have to find a way that works.
