I always wind, but now that she is older she sometimes just gets sat down somewhere sitting up if she doesn't burp after a pat or two. I'm getting lazy too, her milk during the day goes into a cup now with handles

I never bothered working out how many oz to a tin. 1 tin is now lasting almost 2 weeks since I've worked out when she will take milk and how much. And its nowhere near what they say she should take, but lets face it, my baby girl aint exactly fading away...0 -
Just a heads up but i have just found out that Aptimal and Cow&Gate are actually identical - even made in the same factory

I used to use aptimil but occasionally cow & gate if i ran out at an awkward time (corner shop only had sma and c&g) and always used to worry about the 'change over' - it never affected DD and i thought i was just lucky, but know i know why, lol, it's same product diff packaging

Can I ask where you found this out?
Would be interesting to see the info.
We use the Aptamil Comfort and the price difference between that and the C&G isn't massive so I've just stuck with what I know he's OK on.
Not too bad now he only has 2 bottles of it a day - a tub lasts about a month now rather than a week!A very busy Yummy Mummy to a 1 year old gorgeous boy :smileyhea
