Miltons annoyance

4 replies

Weightlessbaby · 26/01/2013 00:21

to be so irritated about opening a blithering bottle of miltons? Is it normal for it to cause scabby hand injuries not only through the contents (when eventually reached) but also through the bloody awful twisting ridiculousness of the opening procedures (I'm sure the cap has won many H&S awards)?

Once again I wonder-what does it do to a baby's tummy? (nothing compared to everything else that goes in their gobs I'm sure)

I've got DH to disable the latches on safety bottles.

Gave up on Milton and used Boots tablets instead, the bottles have me such rage.

My 14yo opens Calpol for her younger sister. Much stronger wrists than me.

Ooh Startail Am ok with Calpol (even the new onewith confusing upside down syringes) but am lacking may have to kick DH into action (he normally does the sterilising-it's my night off tonight Smile

I used to be a biologist and we used to have reagents you got measured out with syringes.

I can usually do Calpol 2nd or third attempt DD1 just laughs at me so I let her.

Sterilising solution I couldn't shift.

I used Milton tablets - much easier than opening the bottle. Less of a faff all round to be honest, no measuring or spill risks. Just chuck one tablet in a full steriliser and Bob's your mother's brother!

I looked at the own brand tablets in Tesco, but as you needed to use two of them for every one of Milton they weren't any cheaper.

After using liquid for a pain in the ass week when our Naafi didn't have any tablets I would never use liquid again.

Once it's watered down it doesn't do anything to the baby's tummy even though it's chlorine, but neat it would do a lot of damage. Get's white's nice and white though!
