Having had 4 children myself, I know how hard and how exhausting those first few weeks can be. Keeping on top of everything can be so difficult, especially if you have other children to look after too. Little things like keeping track of the amount of time milk has been in a bottle can be almost impossible, and it can end with you throwing away precious breast milk or formula because you just can’t be sure it is safe for your little one to drink.
As a general rule, a bottle of formula can be kept for 2 hours, and a bottle of breast milk for 5-6 hours, dependent on conditions. Milk Monster addresses this issue. It simply attaches to all brands of bottle, and features a customisable timer, so it easy for you to see at a glance how long the milk has been kept. The outer shell and band are dishwasher safe, and there is even a backlit screen and glow in the dark element to make it easier to use during night feeds.
It’s just one less thing to worry about. You know your baby’s milk is safe.

Talking and accepting help from my wonderful friends and family. Big thank you’s to one and all x
I slept when the baby did
I was lucky I had family and friends who came and helped which meant i could rest
I slept when my son slept
Im not actually a mum yet, baby is due 26th September so reading these comments have been really helpful 🙂
I have a 3 week old baby and I do struggle a bit as I also have a 2 year old. I make sure we get an early night and get up early so my husband can help me do the things I need help with before he leaves for work. I shower at night and make sure I always have plenty of drinks and snacks to hand, especially for feeds.
My mum was a big help and came round with dinners to save us time and slept when baby did
My husband was lucky to have a couple of months off so we shared everything
Don’t look too far ahead as it can be overwhelming, don’t cram too much into your day either. Take each day as it comes, sleep when you want and refuse visits if needs be!
We took it easy and didn’t make too many plans 🙂
by taking naps whenever possible
drinking water and snacking regularly to keep my energy up.
We were lucky in that we had a lot of family who live close so we always had babysitters and people to help us when we reached low points.
Definitely Coffey
I just accepted that I would be like a zombie for a while, rested when I could and accepted help when it was offered.
I did my utmost to try and get some sleep when little one was napping, my husband and I took turns for the night feeds and we had brilliant support from our families.
Sleep when you can, day or night and ask for support if you need it, everyone feels the same no shame in it x
I ALWAYS SLEPT WHEN BABY WAS IN THE DAY
AND SHARED THE NIGHT FEEDS AS IT CATCHES UP WITH YOU
QUICKER THEN YOU THINK
My daughter says with help from family and I agree its got to be support from family
Getting out in the fresh air every day I think kept me sane as I had to have a shower and get ready x
