Well theres alsorts of do it this way - don't do it that way & some just are not realistic or are in place because there is people unsensible - Like not shaking & checking temp temp of bottles heated in the microwave (the centre heats up more).

So I'm wondering what 'rules' you break!

*I'm considering microwaving bottles - Noticed Caitlins Nan said she did when she stayed with her & others here say it. The jug & the bottle warmer seem a pain in bump as the bottle is fuller (thanks though Rachie ...)

*Medised - After the recent news me & OH have decided we will use it if we feel we should. We use it sparingly (sp?) shes NEVER had more than 2.5ml in 24 hours (well lots more in fact) never mind 5ml every 4 hours (was it 4) as it was stating on bottle.

*Making up 24 hours bottle or bottles in advance (with formula) - We've done it a handful of times although not 24 hours worth just 12.

what is Medised?

i'm not sure i'm guessing its a pain relief medicine we dont have it in australia

Oooh i break rules all the time
1 point i would like to make though is that the "rules" for formula making have changed loads since i had Emily, so i did the same for Jack and neither of them have been ill with tummy upsets
I've always made my bottles in advance and fridges them, if i was going out i would make a hot one and let it cool as we were out and about

I think the Medised thing is silly, it's just because a few parents dose tinys up to their eyeballs!!!

As Jack got older i micro'd bottles as long as you do it in short spurts and shake well, not a problem really, again i think just a few dumb people

Also i give my children chocolate just beacuse for

I'm sure i have more but it's early

i brake loads of rules!

rhys has always slept on his tummy from 4 days old
i used to make up 12 hours worth of bottles in advance, although ive never mircowaved them
rhys occasionally has mcdonalds, coke and chocolate


im sure ill think of more...

I microwave bottles as warming up 9oz bottle takes the micky!
I also make up bottles in advance & put them in the fridge - so much more easier & time consuming.
I dont give medised unless really needed and even then its only 2.5ml.
Ermmm ive probably broken more, oh yes my LO has had chocolate lol,he also sleeps in bed with me,im sure theres more too.
i dont always go by the rules i go with what i think is best for my baby xx

oh here we go lol!!

i microwaved bottles...
my children eat chocolate/sweets
macdonalds/burger king/ kfc as a treat..
i will still use medised..
i swear infront of my kids(and yes it has been repeated!)

sure theres loads more as well

All i'm sayin is how many babies will wait til 6months for solids i know Kieran didn't and i'm sure Paige won't, 10 years ago when my sis had her first she was told to wean at 14wks, loads of people i know weaned before 6months x x

Wow @ 14 weeks

Thinsg are so different now - I know esspecially because of the way my Aunt talks including rusks which are now in this day not recommened until I think it was 8/9 months!

i didnt wait until 6 months, Mase was about 20 weeks when we started and he didnt like baby rice so started on rusk! lol
