MAM anti colic starter set

ross21096

First of all, many thanks to the OP for a great little find

I checked my three local stores before I found some on the shelves in the last one I tried (typical !), it was priced at £15 for me too so even better

We are due in November and have every intention of breast feeding, if we are successful then we will be using these bottles so I (the daddy) can do the night time feeds with expressed breast milk

If we are unsuccessful then they seem perfect to use with formula, and regardless of what happens, its still a good deal as the bottles can be used for water/juice later on.

There are 4 or 5 left on the shelf at GALLAGHER in COVENTRY if anyone wants one?!

Yay really glad you managed to get some and congrats on the pregnancy. All the best for the remaining months!

I don't wish to get into the debate on this, but have a question. I am pg with my first and have a few baby magazines that are a few years old and one had an article about some baby bottles being made from 'safer' plastics than others, some apparently used to have a risk of chemicals leaching out into the milk. Does anyone know if these particular bottles are made from a 'safer' type of plastic?

I hope to breastfeed and also express milk for when I go back to work so this set does sound like a great deal, thanks op.

It's BPA that you've read about and these bottles are BPA free as is the entire MAM range I think

Yep above poster is correct. The entire mam range is bpa free.

Anything, but anything, that helps with colic gets my vote.
In this case, as my lot are past bottlefeeding (& yet to grow into beer), I will share the info with family members, step back & wait!:beer:

We use these bottles and I love them. The fact that they are so easy to sterilise means they are perfect for when you go away for the weekend etc - we first tried them when we went to stay with my parents for the weekend. We didn't really want to take the steriliser so these meant we didn't have to as thjey just pop in the microwave and are done in 3 minutes.

I also agree this is not the place for a debate about BF'ing v's formula. The OP just wanted to pass on a good grabbit and I don't think it is necessary to get into all that on here.

It sounds like you did some very important work out there and saved lives. I'm surprised you don't know about the problems that formula causes.

Surely donor breastmilk (i.e. a wet nurse) is far easier to get find in a rural community than formula is? Especially if you're living in poverty.

"The World Health Organisation estimates that 1.5 million infants die around the world every year because they are not breastfed. This figure has been stated in this and other forms by WHO and UNICEF many times over the years."

Have a read of this if you're interested in the facts -

nothing to do with the fact they cant sustain crop growth,have to walk 20 miles for water, oh and they get 10-15 million pounds from the uk alone to "help them" which gets swallowed up by militant goverments to buy weapons, fat cats within the charities and BONO AND GELDOF!!!!

the trouble is you are made to feel a failure by do gooders within the nursing fraternity for not breastfeeding and GOD HELP YOU IF YOU DONT DO IT RIGHT,

watching my wife bullied into the bf lark, whilst getting over a "PROPER" c- section at 29 weeks and having severe renal failure, while my 2lb daughter lay in an incubator isnt my idea of fun! nor was it hers...........moral of the story.......back off, leave well alone and let the mother do what she feels most comfortable with without breathing down their necks.

oh and before the bigots come i DO NOT object to women feeding in public, if they can, fair play to them, i think it is ridiculous that people snarl and kick off about it saying its putting them off......answer dont bloody look then!!!!!

Still £25 at Bradford TK Maxx - even took them to the till to do a price check! Shame as I'm expecting twins and would have been very handy!

For the record I managed to b/f my first for six months but agree with others not everybody can and my newphew couldn't and was severely ill from trying and taken into hospital at two weeks! People should not judge what works for one does not always work for another and bottles are also used for expressed milk too!
