Bottle feeding fun

[Sage]

What milk do you use? cow and gate comfort 2

Why did you choose this particular brand? coz it rocks and stops him having wind and seriously dodgey poos

Tried any others? when he was a newborn he was on cow and gate 1 for about 8 weeks and at 7months i tried to put him back on cow and gate 3 but it wasnt happening

Method of sterilisation: I use to use a combination of steam sterilizer or cold water sterilizer. I only do it once a week now in water and solution

Brand of bottles: Avent, but im having real problems with them at the mo they keep getting blocked

Why you prefer this brand? i dont just not sure if there is a point in buying new ones when they're all pretty much the same

Favourite thing about bottle feeding Its split 50/50 with my OH. hes just as important as me for feeding time and i love that.

Funniest thing your LO does whilst feeding: its annoying at the time but when hes getting full he rolls the teat around on his tounge, puts on a really serious face and babbles like crazy.

Fav position for feeding: hands free! prop a cushion behind his head and lye him down then let him get on with it.

Quickest feed: um in the night when hes tired and doesnt muck around he'll finish a bottle in about 3/4mins

Longest feed when hes mucking around he'll take ages, normally when hes feeding himself as he likes to pull it out of his mouth now and then and shake it on his head
