    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 Not sure if the leaflet is out of date or if there is a u-turn on the whole make up one bottle at a time, but I can see why new mummies would be confused.....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.

    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 :o: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:

    This made me think of Feelie, Ladybird and me sat on a tiny bench in Basingstoke all BFing!

    I'm a bit of a tarty Mummy and sometimes express so that I can wear un-BFing friendly clothes out!

    A weeks worth of news!

    Tara is a Nanny earlier than expected, DGD Poppie has had her operation and is being a strong baby girl. :D
    Mr MFD has been in hospital but is home now. :(:)
    Mr SS is in hospital. :(
    MM has gone back to work. :(

    Ermmm - there must be lots more, someone help!

    My un-exciting news in summary: Yellow booby watching men in garden, dog poo, broken car, gave a bottle of formula which apparently contained sedatives (still sleeping!), went to booby group.

    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:
    Omg does it say that? What a load of guff.

    When i switched to FF with DS i used to fill the kettle and use as and when. AND when he was over 6m if it had cooled still in the kettle i'd click the kettle on for a sec to save me warming it up after i made it. But then again he does have 16 toes and 3 heads so maybe that wasn't a good idea.

    I didn't enjoy walking home from the garage today. I live about 30 seconds from another garage, i should have used them. I'm just wary of them since i asked them to check my anti-freeze levels and they told me it all needed flushing through cos it was all old and would ruin something - quoted me something stupid like £80. The i went to my 'trusty; garage and he just emptied a bit out and poured the new stuff in, no charge. rolleyes-2.gifrolleyes-2.gif
    Well can you believe it... The garage said it's just new tyres needed (3) and to ring the 30-seconds-away-from-my-front-door garage. So i had to walk in the rain to pick car up to take it to this one. I wish i'd just took it there in the freakin' first place!

    Costing me £90 :( And i need some work doing on the brakes (new pads) and a new headlight. I knew about those already though but i can't afford it yet.

    Fluffy, but are you a true dictator?
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
