Same here. I found one the other day that I never rinsed. So much formula and mold!!! Gah!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1930156 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 23:27:39 +0000 littlejoy 1930156@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Oh, I'm sure! I just feel bad when there are a ton of different mold cultures growing. Gotta get these feelings of guilt out of the way now, because I'm sure they'll be much worse things! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1930140 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 23:04:15 +0000 loveisstrange 1930140@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally found moldy Dr Browns bottle innards stuffed behind a cabinet one time. Shit happens! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1930138 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 23:03:22 +0000 ScarletBegonia 1930138@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mold is good for kids! All first line antibiotics were derived from mold, and kids come into contact with thousands upon thousands of mold spores every minute of every day. Don't stress!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1930128 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 22:55:55 +0000 Mrs. D 1930128@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>somethings I find it on I worry about, others not so much. When she was still chewing on her bath toys, then yes, but now if I see it I just throw it out without a thought.<br /> Our old drying rack definitely had some mold in the corners between washings, but since her bottles and nipples couldn't possibly hit those spots I wasn't too worried, nevertheless, our new rack is a metal one with no where for water to accumulate just in case. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1930083 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 22:17:11 +0000 coopsmama 1930083@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@blackbird: Word. </p> <p>We've all been there!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1930082 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 22:16:43 +0000 Mrs. High Heels 1930082@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found mold in our bath spout cover!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1930077 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 22:13:03 +0000 blackbird 1930077@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Things that happen to every single mom, dude :) no biggie! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1930010 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 21:28:38 +0000 cascademom 1930010@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found mold on LO's bath toy holder. I noticed mold on the drying rack too. Occasional clean outs of stuff happens here quite a bit. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1930009 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 21:28:19 +0000 PrincessBaby 1930009@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@littlejoy: I didn't catch mold growing in a few of my LO's sippy cups where the straw sticks in/around the top area. So gross. I felt like a huge fail when my husband showed it to me. I now have a phobia about most sippy cups, I especially hate ones with straws. And so I buy those disposable sippy cups and just recycle them and then buy more. They're like $3 for 4 I think so we go with those so I don't make the same mistake again:( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1929970 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 21:01:27 +0000 MrsF 1929970@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It happens! I just unpacked our swing to use for baby #2 soon. The cover was disgusting! It looks fine after washing, which makes me even more grossed out that I might have just packed it away with formula puke or something similar on it. Bleh! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1929951 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 20:54:47 +0000 Bao 1929951@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yep it's happened, I've found mold on a lot of things, most recently LO's coat. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1929950 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 20:54:21 +0000 littlejoy 1929950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Ha! Poor Ariel! ;) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1929939 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 20:52:50 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1929939@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found mold in Ariel's hair, one of her princess dolls that is a bath toy. So disgusting. Had to get a new one :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1929938 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 20:52:34 +0000 littlejoy 1929938@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: @cmomma17: Same here!! I have EXTREMELY low supply, and I decided to dump the milk (like 6 ounces collected over a few days). I found out later that the milk was probably just fine. :bummed: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1929935 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 20:51:57 +0000 cmomma17 1929935@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Sunshine: jinx! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1929934 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 20:51:44 +0000 cmomma17 1929934@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I found mold on one of my pump parts once and I'm sure it was there for a while before I realized! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1929933 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 20:51:27 +0000 Mrs. Sunshine 1929933@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I accidentally found mold in my pump parts once! I was mortified. It happens mama! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/im-a-horrible-mom#post-1929931 Tue, 04 Nov 2014 20:50:23 +0000 littlejoy 1929931@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I just realized today that our drying rack (one of those grass ones) hasn't been cleaned for a long time. I took it apart, and it was horrible. So much mold in the bottom part. *Related: why would they make a product that DRY your bottles that can't DRY itself?!</p> <p>I'm currently boiling it in a huge soup pot to sterilize. </p> <p>Please tell me I'm not the only one who accidentally does stuff like this! </p>
