    Keira was on follow on milk until 2! She hated cows milk, spat it out everytime, will have it in cereal and that's about it! She's like me I guess, can't stand the manky stuff either.....

    I always wash new clothes, I remember asking on the pg thread before and Sami pointed out some of the following
    - you don't know the conditions in which the clothes were made (poor countries, poor conditions - possible chemicals used on them)
    - they then get carted half way around the world on minging ships/lorries and end up on floors in warehouses and shops.

    :mad: The b00gers stole my idea :mad:


    I got the Kiddy Infinity Pro it rated as the safest Group 1 in the Which tests, safer than the isofix seats!

    I have been subscribed to Which for 15 years now, it is about time I followed it's advice! Practically every purchase for Benjamin has been the Which Best Buy :o
    ooh what color did you get?
    you'll have to let me know what it's like to use.

    oh an I forgot to say I saw a very snazzy Stokke on the mountain on hols, it was yellow with flower hood

    9 hours ... *jealous*

    I'm in the never-wake-a-sleeping-baby camp, put new clothing on a 15-minute cycle if I remember, and hadn't given a thought to introducing cow milk. I suppose I'll start by introducing it in cereal/porridge rather than using EBM and she can gradually have it as a drink.

    Edit: Glam it's still freezing in here. I'd have left but I have to have lunch with my project manager.

    Glam, IMO once they're eating food its a lot easier to just switch their milk over with no issues at all. Seth used to have aptamil but when I weaned him I just swapped to C&G cos it was cheaper, with no issues at all. When they're little swapping the milk gives them the runs and the grumps but their little tummies get much less sensitive as they get older so less issues :)

    i was wondering this as well. we use aptamil and unlike others doesnt drop in price at all when you go to 6 months+ milk.

    not sure which one yet though. mum used c&g for my sis but if sma is the cheapest might try that. dont want to buy big tins though incase it doesnt agree with him. can you return unopened baby formula like nappies?

    Jillie, I swapped it in asda once when my nan bought a tin of SMA to be helpful :) Seth has always had either Aptamil or C&G, he tried Hipp once and OMFG, never again, the screaming and the trumpyness!
