I wrote to Mr Tommee Tippee a while ago to complain about these bottles, this is their reply:
blah blah

In moving to this new softer material for bottles we have chosen to emboss graduations onto the bottle to remove any potential risks associated with printed graduations "rubbing off."

Although we appreciate that embossed graduations are not as easy to read as the printed markings on our pre-BPA free polycarbonate bottles, we still believe that our new bottles more than live up to your – and our – very high standards of quality and performance.

We’d like to stress that we take all our consumer feedback very seriously (in fact it was feedback from parents that helped us to decide to go BPA-free) and so we are already working on ways we can achieve a printed BPA-free bottle where visible graduations would remain intact through many months of continued use and sterilisation.

However, If you wish to return these to us at the address below we will certainly refund these for you.

They dont like to blow their own trumpets or anything!!!

Well I don't know who was getting the marks to rub off coz as I said before I used Chris's for over 2yrs, sterilised them daily for 18mths then dishwshered them for almost another year and those markings were still as clear as anything when I chucked 'em out

A scooter would be good but 2 reasons why it wouldn't work :

She can't ride them, she has used Ellie's before and she is scared she will fall off or something as she only tippy toe pushes with the foot on the ground.

Secondly, we walk by next to one of the busiest main roads in Aberdeen, would just take a second for her to fall off and she could land on the road.

Walking is the safest (albeit slowest) way!

well pah! ;) a tricycle with a pole so you can control it and strap her in it? bit pricey tho

I won a trike on ebay it tesco own one,does anyone know if the front wheel/handle bar locks and if so how do I do it? TIA

Buttonmoons

I do actually have one of those......as her bike isn't safe to use plus she can't pedal that properly either, she pedals it half way round, pedals it backwards and repeats, so she doesn't do a full turn of the pedals!

Maybe I should dig it out before I pick her up, as I can put a lock on the wheels so she isn't pedalling. Thanks Sami

I put Alice to bed at 1300 and I can still hear her now (1345) talking to herself. At the moment she's saying, "Car boot sale not on."

All my HM purees are sitting in the freezer She'll eat broccoli, but only whole - not pureed:rotfl:same for most foods really. :rolleyes:

We had made purees before we decided on BLW. I used to use them to make soups on days when we wanted a meal quickly or with little effort. I would just throw some stock and puree cubes in a pan and leave it on low for a while then add a bit of seasoning. I was actually tempted to make more puree cubes after they ran out.

Talking of old bottles, why are mine all horrible? Really dull and just grotty looking? Do they need replacing regularly? I cold water sterilised and didn't heat, do duprised they only lasted 8 weeks?

Ours went kind of grey inside. (We did warm and steam sterilised.) I figured it was just something to do with what is in breastmilk.

Elle - I have the lindam one, I think its best for small babes because holds them around the body unlike the tigger one

:eek: That child in the tigger one is massive. We had to stop using ours when Alice started bumping into the doorframe. She never bounced just span in it and as she got bigger/stronger the circles got bigger.

We have a Lindam bouncer. The height adjusts as do the strap around them to keep them in it! Sometimes I make it shorter so I can make it into a little swing.
