What’s your favorite show before vs. after becoming a mom?

Do you still remember what type of TV shows or movies you used to enjoy the most? I think the kind of films and series we're drawn to lately often reflects our current emotional state, though not necessarily in a precise way. Sometimes, what captivates me about a show is the state the main character embodies. But there are also simpler reasons for choosing certain shows. Now that when you become a mom, what kinds of shows do you find yourself enjoying the most? What genres of TV dramas appeal to you these days?

Momcozy Kleanpal pro leaving lines on bottles — even after descaling

I recently noticed that my momcozy kleanpal pro is leaving these lines or marks on the bottom of glass bottles after a regular wash and steam cycle. When I looked it up online, I see regular recommendations to the scale, the machine and to wash it using either a vinegar solution or a descaling tablet. I cleaned up my machine pretty comprehensively and started using a cozy descaling tablet, but it seems to not have had an effect.

I believe that the water in my house is not hard water. It is moderate and I always use filtered water although it’s not the same thing as distilled water. Any thoughts I’ve attached images.

Is my bottle warmer malfunctioning?

We are using the MW02 warmer, and tend to use these bottles (that we got from the hospital). Based on the instructions I'm using 90ml of water which seems to mostly just coat the bottom of the warmer.
This barely touches the milk in the bottle. I have sometimes filled it with way more water to cover milk. But in the end, we tend only warm about 1oz of milk from the fridge which never gets warm enough, it's lower than room temperature and warmer than the fridge. The bottom plastic of the bottle gets warmer, but it never seems to be hot enough. It's always set to cold, and plastic, and at 1oz only runs for 4 minutes. I have thrown a towel overtop to keep the heat it, but it still doesn't seem to quite do it.
Is mine faulty or am I doing something wrong?
