This *is* a newsgroup about LOL FWIW, when I had to comp feed both my kids after they were born (breastmilk didn't come in for a few days and they were losing weight) I cleaned the steriliser every time I used it. I had a microwave steriliser and a tub that you fill with water and add tablets. I don't know about electronic sterilisers, but I suppose the same sort of principle would apply. With that type of steriliser one would think that there was some sort of manual that came with it - what does yours say? Engram OMG. I do have to apologize... The manual part just threw me over the edge *big smiles - thanks* |

Engram I just sterilized bottles with my bottlefed babies using a large stock pot filled with boiling water. Just boil the water and dip the bottle supplies in with tongues and set on a clean papertowel to dry. They dry within minutes. With my last breastfed baby, we still had to use bottles because I did not get a maternity leave and had to work immediately after giving birth (self-employed), and I just did the same. I pumped while working when possible while DH offered the expressed BM in a bottle. My milk was available from day 1. So yes, even if this is a breastfeeding board, I don't feel that your question was unreasonable. |

It is normal for babies to lose a bit of weight in the beginning, as baby's suckling at the breast signals the breast to produce the milk, so as much stimulation as you can get on the breast, the better for baby. I can't imagine what it would be like waiting for engorgement to hit and then attempting to breastfeed. I don't think it would be too comfortable for baby either because then you could face other issues like forceful letdown due to the engorgement, etc. |

I never tried sterilizing my nipple shields. Does it say on the box that you can put them in boiling water? I did have a doctor share with me once that washing them in a very mild soapy and hot-as-you-can-handle water is sufficient. |
