Just another excuse to rip us all off if you ask me.

Does any one know if you can still get Milumil Milk???

Going off on a tangent here but why to toaster manufacturers make the toasters to small for an average slice of bread its so annoying i may write and complain lol ;-)

So, what do you about getting baby weighed. Is that all done at doctors now? Its all changed since i had DS. Plus i've moved areas. Then i went to a baby clinic to get him weighed by the Health Visitor, they even had an evening one, for us working mums.

Now i've noticed on the electronic screen at my doctors surgery that they have baby clinics there, on a week day in the afternoon. Not good for me when back at work after 4 months. May have to pop out once a month to get him/her weighed.

Think i will do as Tia suggest and just by two normal aptamil. And a few of those ready made cartons for the day i get out of hospital - will be easier - elective section pending. Don't know what it is about breastfeeding , but it just makes my toes curl. DS didn't breastfeed and he's more that fine, so i have no problem with bottled milk.

no need to explain yourself, well at least not to me !! Jasmine was bottle fed too and is perfect picture of health bar her asthma, and considering 90% of the women in my family have it, I really dont think that it was the milk that started that one !!
Dylan got expressed milk for 8 days as I was told he really needed it and when I said no they suggested doner milk, which freaked me out even more :eek:

Oops Ive got it now Sami but to be honest i'm not as weak willed as i used to be. Lolly i just couldnt keep up with as she was always hungry and i was exahusted (probably due to me slowly bleeding to death but thats another story) and with ben as he was early and they fed him my breast milk with a cup we could never get him to latch on so i used to express the milk and give it him in a bottle but my stupid health visitor told me off for doing that and said i should only give him formula if he wont take milk from the breast and still having faith in the health system back then i did what i was told. Needless to say i am older wiser and have more patience oh and generally a bigger pain in the a** these days so the health visitors can get stuffed as long as bab is healthy and putting on weight i will do it my way :-)

Milumil milk was made by Milupa, who make apitamil. I think that it has all changed to aptamil now. They have an easy digest milk, which maybe similar - £8.98 a box:eek:. Umm, may need to re-think this. Googling seem to suggest you may get Milumil in some larger boots stores. But cannot see it on the website.

I just wondered as i havent seen it in the shops for years and a wonderful health visitor who i only managed to catch twice at the clinic ( she had 4 kids and knew what she was talking about) advised me to put ben on it when he was really hungry so we could hold of weaning for a bit longer and it worked. Heres another blast from the past can any one remember the boots flavoured follow on milk they used to do strawberry and banana flavour it was probably really bad for them hence why it was stopped but my little girl loved it :-)

I don't see why tho, most follow on milks are flavoured with vanilla these days which is why I didn't give Chris them - whats wrong with milk flavoured milk :p

Thanks MM. I know i don't really, but there are just so many women pro breast feeding, i feel like i'm a wierdo, because i just don't want to.

DS was born throught emergencey section and i was in the theatre for a long time. I bled quite a bit apparently. So they gave OH a bottle to feed him before i was even in recovery. They then took him to the nursery overnight and bottle fed him there. So i never even tried in the first hours, so didn't bother after that. The midwives were quite accepting of bottle feeding and never asked me if i wanted to even try and breastfeed. I just get the impression, that its all breastfeed, breastfeed these days. Which i can perfectly understand the many benefits of. But i know if anyone trys to force me, i will dig my heels in. Of course if anything was to go wrong and bubs needed the breastmilk i will of course breastfeed.

I did lay down bad habits for my girl when she younger she still wont drink milk unless it is flavoured i was much tougher on my lad and he isnt as fussy. I suppose it came from being young and inexperienced and also not having wonderful sites like this to point me in the right direction. I would be here for ever listing the things i would do differently with the pair of them if i could do it all over again
