    Anyone any ideas on how to convince my BF daughter that she likes formula before 8am tomorrow? She has had formula from cartons before, both from mum and from me and been fine but I've mixed her some up from the tin and she won't take it. Wouldn't have any for the 4 hours she was at nursery Thursday either. Tomorrow she'll be there for 8 hours so I really need her to take it.

    Any ideas?

    harley - the consistency is different between powder and RTU cartons.
    could u pop a couple of cartons in just in case?

    At christmas, J was faffing with his bottles but when he had a carton he drained the lot!

    Glam is it the clip and go one I sold mine ages ago.

    Speaking of ebay I now have a till, box of till rolls, changing/bath station and a whole load of junk to list and sell. So sad seeing the shop being emptied :(

    Is it a KIT day tomorrow?

    Do you have any EBM you could send in case? If not I would stick a couple of cartons in? To be honest, I would think she will take it when she gets hungry enough, but I know that is absolutely no consolation to you. Hope it all goes okay for you tomorrow.

    Hi Elle,

    Yes Thanks they're much better :D I think I've seen enough vomit and diawoowoo this week to last me a lifetime! I'm ok helping out Daniel but had to leave DH to it :( Ended up taking most of the week off as hols. I ended up getting it Friday, so my mum and Dad had Daniel overnight as he was better. Finally we're all on the mend except for MIL as she's now got it :( Oopsie!

    I'm having the same problem, Caitlyn wouldn't take a carton from a bottle for the CM on Friday. She's had a bottle before ( a few months ago now though). So I tried her earlier with one and she just chewed the teat, but cried when I took it away! Want her to take one because she's going to CMs again on Tuesday. ONly for a couple of hours bbut she'll be there for 5.5 hours when I go back to work. I wondered if changing the type of bottle would help?
