We still make formula up with 40 degree water, rather than 70 because we use Hipp. Now they've taken out the good bacteria
I won't be doing any different because it makes a "ready to drink" bottle.
J has all foods in moderation, except seafood. He's had chocolate, cake, chips, ice cream and even a sip of my diet coke. Of all the things he's tried he likes strawberries best.
We've bathed him almost every night of this life (with Johnsons lavender nighttime) because he loves it so much.
I co slept with him when he was tiny and I was BF. I rocked him to sleep about half of the time, if he needed it. He still learnt how to self settle in his own good time and he sleeps through.
I have a baby walker (and a laminate floor) and a jumperoo.
When we go away we don't sterilise bottles, we just put them through the dishwasher. At home we do, but only because it's so easy and quick. I don't think we need to. I've never sterilised any of his drinking cups. When we're out and about he drinks from my camelback and we share.
Touch wood - he's so healthy, he's had one cold in his life and no other infections. He's one of the most cheerful and placid babies I know.
