OH & I were pondering earlier if the Toddler Milks were necessary, or are the baby milk companies trying to make more money out of us? And are they a new thing? I don't remember them being around when DS & DD1 were babies?

I don't think they are necessary but I use it for a couple of months after the age of one. Poppy wouldn't touch cows milk as a drink and I wanted to make sure she drank 'something'. I give it to Jamie now too and gradually introduced it by subbing his normal formula for a few scoops.

Its in the Asda event next week and I have a few £1 MOC's too .

I hope I can log on tomorrow and say you were right - Jack had last bottle at 8pm and slept from 8.30pm til 7am but I think I have more chance of being handcuffed to a fart as my darling father would say :rotfl:



:rotfl::rotfl::rotfl: Got no JD here. Would Southern Comfort do the trick?

That is hilarious Glam :rotfl:.

On the Southern Comfort question, you are so irresposible! Think of all the sugar in Southern Comfort- put that in his bottle and it would rot his teeth!

Aless- I love Finn's baby grown in the new FB pics!

Also Sainsburys have some really funky babygrows in at the moment, and currently they are a third off!

Tara- I thought follow-on milk had more iron than cow's milk, which is deemed to be necessary for little ones. We survived on cow's milk though, so can't be that important.....

Yes, I use it now but it didn't exist back 20yrs ago so we had to put drops in normal milk!

yep, yep and because they weren't
I used formula for chris until around 18mth then got fed up of him refusing to drink moo milk to I mixed them together slowly increasing the moo milk until he was off formula. I wouldn't use todler milk because its all vanilla flavoured figured that would just add to my problems!

Mfd did you use the stokke? I used it at a Chinese buffet once.

We did use the Stokke, Benjamin was at the head of the table (of 24!!) and loved it - he did drop something greasy on the shopping bag though :mad:


I did indeedy bump into the lovely Krystal with Aimee, hubby and the oh-so-growing-up lovely Caitlyn!! Had some lovely chats and was glad she was there because I neglected to take wipes :rolleyes: That'll be another coffee I owe her!! (Yes Krystal - I know you are a tea girl )

Wot? So I'm a chocolate-feeding, pro-early-weaning(prior to 24 weeks, not 6 weeks), computer game-allowing lazy !!!! um of 3, and dead proud

Yup







Claire - Benjamin eats all sorts when we are out. I try not to give him anything too salty but I don't worry about spicy! He loves curry!!



We are going for another Chinese Buffet (at a different restaurant) on Thurs for DSS birthsay - just me, hubby, Benjamin, DSS and the practice wife :rotfl::rotfl: Benjamin will eat more adventurous stuff than DSS

like I said, I've not done a huge amount of research or anything, but something to the effect of drinking milk beyond breastfeeding being 'unnatural' as no other animals do it IYSWIM. Also, I have huge issues with the dairy industry (though am too chicken to wean myself off it completely - though I do opt for soy when I can) from an animal welfare point of view.

anyway, just curious...I haven't done the research to back up any claims I've read so not looking to take any sides on any debate

Ha, I Must go and cook it now! Everytime i finish a post there are more to read

Do you find that by its use by date mince from Asda is often brown? I always worry and try to use it 2 days before the date




I keep meaning to ask - is there a reason that babies shouldn't have whippy ice-cream from a machine? There is very little that I wouldn't let Benjamin have (that's probably a lie but go with me!!) but I have in my head that they can't have that?
And last night I had to stop MIL giving Benjamin it again (she was feeding him it last time we went for neices birthday). She said 'well they didn't have these silly rules in my day' and I said 'they didn't have bl00dy ice-cream machines in your day!!!' so she humphed off!!!
Am I getting confused about not being able to eat it when you are pregnant?

Follow-on milks - personally never used them, she went straight onto full fat cows milk. When Katie turned one she was on 3 bfs a day still and I just made sure she got plenty of iron rich food and all red meat was followed by something rich in Vit C. I still follow this now except we're down to 2 feeds a day.

Katie likes Chinese and Indian but we don't go to restaurants or have take aways that often due to cost. Poppadoms are a hit though with mango chutney.
