  • Em, Jamie is still in our room and I have no plans to move him out just yet. He hardly makes a sound and sleeps through so he can stay a while longer :). Neither of them have ever slept in our bed and have been snuggley fitted under the bay window :D.

    Elle, I still sterilised every bottle until the day we stopped giving them to Poppy. It was easier to continue with the routine than to stop iyswim.

  • well cows milk is pasturised already so I would assume that has something to do with it, but I would assume its because you dont have to be as careful with bugs when they get a bit older

    You mean he holds his head to one side, or that one side of his head is flat so his head isn't ball like? :confused:


    With the sterilising thing, I meant more what's the difference between EBM/formula compare to cows milk? Less bugs in cows milk, or is it just like you all say they're getting mucky bits from everywhere anyway? :o

    it isnt ball like....and he also holds it to one side. a lot!?

    im not sure about the bugs and stuff with the milk.....i think (could be completely off track) that there is more protein and fat in cows milk.and they need it to accompany with the weaning? i reckon im talking gooble-dy-gook tho!!??:confused:

    Tia is your flat-head guru.. :)

    The holding it to one side could just be because that's how he was curled up inside? Was he full term or prem? Rhys had gel wedges to keep his head in certain positions for a length of time to make sure he didn't favour one side.
  • carla, its Dylan that has a tilt to one side, we are in physio for that among many other issues :) Apparently though it fixes itself before they are a year, and if it hasnt then they can strengthen the muscles by doing a wee mini op, but unless the HV is overly concerned, then it shouldnt be a major problem

    DD dummy's get boiled once a week still - just to get rid of most of the bugs, it's more often if she's ill.

    I sterilised my breast pump up until the day I stopped using it when DD was 14 months old, bottles included.

    I didn't sterilise any of her bowls or spoons when I was weaning her they just got bunged in the dishwasher.

    My reputation = A weirdo who still bf her toddler.
