Kate's decision to bottlefeed is a personal one. It is her decision how she feeds her baby. Like every mum in the land she deserves support and the freedom to make her own baby feeding decisions. However I feel its important that whoever is making up feeds does it safely and follows NHS guidelines.

There is no reason to make up feeds in batches or use the microwave to heat formula. The microwave can be used to sterilise the bottles, but not to heat up pre made feeds. It would be awful if princess Charolotte got burnt by hot spots of milk in the bottle or contracted gastrocentitis. They have a qualfied nanny who surely must be familiar with current recommendations.

NHS guidelines

Lots of mums with two children under two have to manage without paid help.

That The Queen lookalike is really good though!

They were so obviously fake!!!

It only looks like them if you squint and aren't sitting close to the screen Grin

hamiltoes · 07/05/2015 10:58

Even if it wasn't a spoof, are you being serious?!

Why does it matter how she chooses to make her bottles!

I used to fill mines with tap water after i'd added a hot shot of boiling to the powder, I thought most people didn't follow NHS guidelines!

EmmaGellerGreen · 07/05/2015 11:02

Thank you OP for one of the most amusing threads in ages!

LadyTmalia · 07/05/2015 11:07

oops that was meant to be a :o

CornChips · 07/05/2015 11:09

I think that lookalike looks a dead ringer for Peter Phillips, Princess anne's son though.

She can make them in batches if she wants, "no reason"?!! Have you ever made a bottle from scratch and tried to cool it quickly with a screaming newborn waiting for his scoff?? Seriously??!!

(I know it is fake, but still)

Stop judging.

DextersMistress · 07/05/2015 11:15

Actually laughed out loud at op's second post. Sorry op but so funny Grin Grin

Tee hee hee OP! Grin

Not Prince William looks like a terrifying Spitting Image puppet.

As if the Queen has ever changed a nappy in her long life.

Dear god, the bloke who's doubling for William looks like a Spitting Image puppet Grin

TheWildRumpyPumpus · 07/05/2015 11:18

Brilliant!

Glad it's not just me who is half asleep most of the time.

loveliesbleeding1 · 07/05/2015 11:19

O.p. you are pretty awesome.

ScrambledSmegs · 07/05/2015 11:19

Oh, I didn't see your post squoosh! Thought I was making an original observation Grin

Aww surely she must have, with her own? I'd find it sad if she hadn't.

I hope MN don't delete this thread.
(a) it's most amusing, and
(b) it's an example to others not to copy or link anything from the Mail.
