a question for all the dads out there

[i-a-n]

When my nipper was small I wasn't even allowed to say hello to my daughter and wife when I came in from work. Apparently it might have put daughter off her food.
And that's part reason why I live in Aus, and they live in England.
Miss my daughter like I'd miss an arm.
Enjoy them while you can.

What kind of brewer are you man? Clearly you need an autoclave for those bottles. And sterilising yeast propagation equipment.

Congratulations. Best and hardest thing ever. Remember to sleep when the bub sleeps. Best advice we got from anyone. Not sleepy? You will be if you don't sleep at bub o'clock.

My wife did ****ies all the way so I can't help with the sterilising question.

Well, I didn't spray starsan on SWMBOs ****s before a feed...

You had a feed too? Sweet, eh?

Don't think we were ever that anal about it. Just whack em in the dishwasher or hand wash them and give then a rinse after. Germs are good for you. Once they start crawling they stick their hands in their mouths after they have been on the floor where your shoes have been which have been out side, and potentially at some point in dog **** and alike.

My wife breast fed all our kids and we needed a bottle steraliser so milk could be stored. With premature twins in the humidicribs and us at home, it was pumped and bottled and taken to the hospital. Having sterile stuff is critical in this case, you don't want the bacteria to have a chance at multiplying by the time it makes it into your kid.
For all our sterilisation we used a microwave unit with 100ml water for 2 mins by memory. Worked a treat.

Vaguely funny but relevant story...
My wife had her first night out and I was looking after the little ones. She was drinking so I thawed out some of the frozen milk in the fridge. Later that night, my little girl was acting up so I thought I'd try her with a bottle (for the first time). Put it in her mouth, and she went bezerk. Tried again, no change. "Damn, she won't take the bottle" I thought. I tried a bit of it to make sure it was warm enough and what I tasted was pretty much vomit. Crap it was terrible. Evidently you can go nuts with sterile environments and storage techniques, but some things won't keep.
I'm thinking lacto.

Ok. Lets not drag a nice thread it into the gutter.




Or at least not until the OP clicks 'solved'.

Mostly been said, but clean em in the sink with detergent, and rinse with hot water. Anything that's left there will just help build the immune system.

So does the cat poop when they find that too.

Congrats!

Germs are good. Helps build up the immune system

That was my thought. Sterilize? Hell my kids are lucky if I washed it.

Congrats on the new one TrickyMac!
