Do you have a Bad Twin too? Wouldn't that make you triplets? Or are you the Bad Twin? Or have I completely missed something and just made no sense at all?

She and I were born on the same day, but she's a nicer person than I am. So I'm the bad twin

Oh, question OH asked me yesterday.. Why when you're making up formula should you (according to the tin) use water only boiled once? *confused* What does it do to it when you boil it twice? :cool:

It does something weird and makes tea taste bad.

I was looking for you last night to see if you were coming on Friday. Mel might be coming too so you can stare enviously at her bump.

I want to stare enviously at her bump! Or anyone's bump really, I'm not fussy. A colleague of mine just announced a very early pregnancy and aside from Weezl and Mel I've two RL friends due in June and March. I'm surrounded :T:o:(

No update from OH, he's waiting for the head of department to be out of surgery and will then talk to him.

PP I only bath Molly once a week too, and she missed this week because it's a two-person job. The dirt's not going to do her any harm - she made most of it anyway

very true!!

TBH if K had latched on etc and i hadnt had to change my meds i think i'd have been one of the mums who only feeds the baby in her own home. never really thought about having to feed him in public :cool:
expressing was definitely the better option for me that way (if i;d been able to continue) i'd have been able to leave the house! :rotfl:

It is also very silly when the Doctors won't prescribe the medication you need because you are breastfeeding, despite the experts saying that it is safe in breastfeeding.

I promise to come back on later and reply yo all of your PM's and messages.

I think I'm overtired with a very grumpy baby and things have just got to me.

I have battery but need to get to Tiny Stars and currently have a screamer covered in carrot mush

Just a thought on the powder not being sterile thing.. the powder we add to Rhys' milk as a form of medication is actually formula milk that it says on the tin you must make up with hot boiled water etc etc and yet the doctors/nurses always added it to cold EBM, straight from the fridge and just shook it up.. can't see that method ever killing bugs in it *rolleyes* :cool: (my point being the pros don't stick to the rules )

i know.....
my mw, when we were talking bout f/feeding said 'i know it says on the tin to make it up as you go along but thats nearly impossible, just fill 2 bottles with the water at a time'

the one i'm prescribed is the best for me. age, length of time etc with high BP. i'm only on the lowest dose of it.
Krystal very kindly checked this all out for me when i had to change meds after i had K.
the meds i was on while pg werent strong enough (i was on the max dose) to control my BP.

I've checked with the same resource Krystal uses, and the medication I need is as safe as the alternative I've been given, yet I'm not allowed the right one, despite my telling them. They won't look into it any more, which is really annoying.

I don't know if anyone saw my post on the other thread, but at baby clinic yesterday I picked up an NHS leaflet on bottle feeding (same format as the BF one if anyone has seen that). Anyway, I just had to share that the leaflet tells you that you can make up more than one bottle at once and store them for up to 24 hours in the coldest part of the fridge, and there is a pic of three bottles in a fridge *rolls eyes smiley*! Not sure if the leaflet is out of date or if there is a u-turn on the whole make up one bottle at a time, but I can see why new mummies would be confused.....

CJ- yay for the job but I'm really sorry to hear about your nan. Similar thing has happened to my best friend's nan and she has a DNR. I think it is a really hard thing to be told that that's what someone wants, so big hugs for you.

I have that leaflet too GISI, picked it up in the NeoNatal unit..
