Quick question - has anyone seen Tommee Tippee breast pads on offer? Are they likely to be in the Asda event?

I bought some when they were half price in Tesco (when still preg) but only bought one box in case i couldn't breastfeed or whatever. Really gutted now cos they're £5 for 50. 7 years ago Morrisons' own were very similar to them so i bought some but they're totally different and awful, they are small and like paper, not absorbant at all and not adhesive.

Otherwise, can anyone recommend any that are as good as TT?
Or do i just need to accept that it's gonna cost me £5. (Prob works out cheaper since i had to change the cheap ones every 2 mins:rolleyes:)

I stock up when they're 1/2 price (usually buy 6 boxes AKA entire shelf here ) when they're not I buy the tesco own brand "ultra slim breast pads" I don't think any others can match up to TT but they are the closest that don't cost loads.
I don't rate washables as not absorbant enough for me and can't wash them with normal stuff coz fabric softener makes them useless :rolleyes: so my fairies have a set of (i think 4 maybe 6) avent washables if anyone is interested?

I started giving J water for his wind a month or so ago - HV suggested it again the other day but said to give it between feeds. He won't take water but took it with the apple juice from the steamer the other day so I bought some baby juice earlier but diluted it a lot.

He seems to be OK with the beaker which is good.

J is normally in a sleepsuit if we are at home - sometimes the one he slept in the night before Outfits when we go out.

DKAM -Sorry to hear of your troubles, hope you can get moved quickly xx

honey pls don't by baby juice again its [STRIKE]full of crap[/STRIKE] over priced, get fresh NFC juice, if you don't drink it your self/buy regular then freeze it in ice cubes - 1l will last you like 3 mths that way

DKAM - massive hugs, can't beleive what !!!! he is!!! I agree best to not publically discuss where you go also have you made sure your FB account is super secure? it would only take one photo for him to trace you again xxxx

Where's Emlou? Has she been on recently? Was just thinking we hadn't heard from her or have I just missed her on my brief catch ups?

Aww thank you!
As Elle said, I work Monday, Friday and Sunday, and OH usually has Thursdays off work so I tend not to come on here when he's around cos I dont want him catching on to the whereabouts of where I moan about him :rotfl:
I'm here, just havent got a lot to say for some reason
Now you've all picked your jaws up off the floor at the thought of me not having a lot to say, you may carry on as you were

Thanks Sami - I got the Heniz Apple and Cherry - says it is 100% juice and was a £1. What do you mean by NFC?

Not From Concentrate fruit juice.


Although I'm sure baby juice is perfectly fine for babies, as are rusks and as are jars of baby food.

I will admit I am a juice snob though

jillie1974

oh, like freshly squeezed??

My HV said that you can buy the baby juice, but that it was a bit of a rip off and it has short dates so you might end up throwing it away and like buying baby pasta, your are just paying extra for the "baby" packaging/size. She said there was nothing wrong with giving adult juice (NFC) so might be more cost effective to do as Sami says (but nothing wrong with giving baby juice!). And for pasta, just break up spaghetti.
