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.

Grin op needed a laugh this morning

squoosh · 07/05/2015 11:22

I'd be amazed if the Queen has ever seen any of her kids' bare bums.

I'll phone Buckingham Palace press office and see what they say.

WilsonWilsonWoman · 07/05/2015 11:24

omg this is hilarious! Grin

Please don't delete!!!!

MrsMcColl · 07/05/2015 11:26

Thanks for the laugh - priceless. (But on a more serious note, do try not to judge people on things like their bottle-making technique. It's really unnecessary, and you will wind yourself up and increase the tiredness...)

Rosa · 07/05/2015 11:26

oh dear dear dear dear

WilsonWilsonWoman · 07/05/2015 11:28

Me too Squoosh

As if we didn't know!

EponasWildDaughter · 07/05/2015 11:40

Oh i love this Grin

It's the sort of daft thing i'd do OP, don't worry Flowers

On a serious note though. With all the will in the world it is pretty impossible to make up formula on demand. Especially if you are on your own.

Dear Screaming Baby ... i'll just pop into the kitchen and fill thekettle and wait for it to boil, then let it stand for a few mins, then make your bottle, then let that cool down enough to drink ..... only 15 mins ... you just lie there and hang on ...

How many times a day?

Hmm

Minifingers · 07/05/2015 12:07

Bloody good lookeelikes though Grin

Would like to have seen Kate sitting on a sofa in a stained dressing gown surrounded by dirty washing, with the baby plugged on to the boob, while her maj slurps from a cup of tea and scratches a corgi.

momb · 07/05/2015 12:08

Loving the idea that they would pose for a picture holding up their children in shirts saying 'The Heir' and 'The Spare'. Genius!
Thanks RT. You have made me smile.

Laquila · 07/05/2015 12:12

Exactly, Squoosh!! Ohhhhh this has cheered me up no end. I remember my grandad phoning me in horror when the same woman did a simialr thing with Kate and Wills in the bath quaffing champagne. The state of the nation!! Etc etc. He's 93, mind.

Betsyblue · 07/05/2015 12:16
