Bottles

I dont mainly cuz thats just how it ends up being.. I thaw and prep breastmilk for him on the day that he watches her while I'm at work, and he may make bottles of formula but I don't see it... and I wash them when I do the rest of the dishes on my days off
My husband washes and sanitizes the bottles every night after he gets our toddler to sleep
Why wouldn’t they?
I wash them most of the time, but hubby sometimes washes them if they're all dirty ❤️
He can make bottles but I prefer to wash them bc I’m anal lol
Let? Of course. He does everything in the house same as me. I’m not superwoman I don’t have 4 arms lol sometimes I need help or someone to lighten my load. He sprays cloth diapers too 😂 He knows how to wash bottles and sanitise and thaw ebm from the freezer he does it all the time when I was BF.
@MJ_xo I’m the same way lol but sometimes I feel like he be making the bottles wrong sometimes
@Jaycee teach him & watch him do it
@MJ_xo he knows how to do it but I still be having that feeling he does it wrong
Washing the bottles is my husband's job. Whichever one of us is available makes them.
No, I’m very fussy
What do you mean “let”? It’s as much his responsibility as it would be yours love
Let? He gon tell me to move out the way 😂 ok he does everything I do except I don’t work he does lol
Of course! He wants to help, why would I not “let” him? Don’t give yourself every chore to do when someone wants to help you, especially one that boring.

He will do it if I ask. He got out of habbit of doing them when he went back to work. I'm just waiting to see how long it takes him to realise it annoys me he doesn't do them without being asked. I would say something but I'm just curious how long it will take him to notice. It's a small annoyance so it's not a big deal. My hands are completely destroyed because I keep forgetting to put gloves on (he keeps saying his hands are getting rough and I just go moan at me when your hands look like this).
What an interesting question and phrasing. Yeah he can do it all when he's home it's not an issue whatsoever. When we had our eldest in the NICU for a medical incident the staff specifically taught him about cleaning bottles and pump parts properly, so he's almost TOO good at it so it takes longer haha
He’s her parent too so why wouldn’t he muck in?
@Cindy I asked the question cuz someone Ik is very particular about doing it all on their own
Absolutely. We share all the duties , we mix feed and obviously only I can do the breast feeding but he still helps with formula and washing bottles and everything else. I do the night shifts because he has to drive to work and I’m scared of him driving on little sleep but even then he does step in if he wakes up and I’m having a tough time etc and over weekend much more xx
My fiancé’s chore is washing bottles every night lol. He works all day, so we decided he’d do the chores that are done at night (washing bottles, doing the dishes, taking out the trash). We make bottles equally though, just depends on whoever’s able to in the moment.
@Jaycee I know what you mean. Seems you’re a little like me, & when you’re like us, that we like things a certain way to put it nicely 😂 we can think our significant others do things wrong bc they do things differently. Sometimes they do straight up do it wrong out of laziness or weaponized incompetence 🙃
@Jaycee sometimes the anxiety does get the best out of someone
Let? Of course, although , most of the time, it's me as I'm home atm on mat leave whilst he's working long hours, but if he's home, he'd do them.
I do it most of the time because he’s utterly useless at cleaning so I don’t trust he will do it well enough. He’s done it a few times now but I feel much better doing it myself and knowing they’re sparkling clean!
He didn’t wash them good enough for me lol but he made them for me yeah
My husband just started washing mine when I was recovering and now it’s just habit for him I think so I hardly ever do it lol but I think I got lucky! It really helps me save time though so maybe you could ask. We work hard feeding!
