And why doesn't the hospital sterilise the Electric Br.pump stuff, she was told just to wash the tubes etc with soapy water and rinse?

Because the milk doesn't come into contact with the tubing

Yes, to sterilising all of the TT CTN pump (I have one too).

But the milk goes down inside the tubing, and the bit that fixes on your b00b?

Glam, I would be very tempted to put him in bed with OH when he wakes and go lay on the sofa so he had no choice but to deal with him !!!

:rotfl: He wears earplugs so most of the time doesn't really hear him!

Off to bed, fingers crossed for a sleepy baby!

aless i have 3 (used to be 3 'that girl') people i class as friends but they dont have kids and off finding there own lives and ways so sometime find it very hard to relate to ... gay OH is my closest friend and i havent heard from him in about 3 weeks probably wont for a while now hes moved to manc .. that why i was really gutted about that girl as she was the only mother i knew probably but after her status hmmm ..

Which model is she using?

Our hospital have several Medela Symphony type and that's what I have at home (rented) now. All the instructions I've seen for that one just say rinse in water.. (think so anyway... off to check!)

ETA: Instruction manual here - does say only to wash in hot water.

AF - have you tried being a mean Mummy, and not feeding her every time she wakes? (I know we were talking about this last week about her not eating much and whatnot.) I found when I stuck to my guns with Izzy she started to eat better in the day, and gave up (normally) waking in the night. She still does occasionally, but it is only once, and not every night. You feel really mean the first time, but I found with Izzy that it was easier than I expected, because I knew it was just temper rather than anything really being wrong iyswim.

I know Izzy was a bit bigger when I tried it, so that might make a difference to you, and make this not your first option, but it sounds like you need to change something and see if it makes a difference for your sake as much as hers. You will end up falling asleep at your des at this rate!

i have tried, not night after night i will admit. she just sends up screaming the house down. as we have others in the house, i dont feel it's something i do can, let her scream i mean. i have started giving water first and seeing if she will settle on that before offering milk to see if that helps
