hi

i am 29 weeks pregnant

will be just bottle feeding this one
just getting orgnaized
with dd made them all up in the fridge night before heard there is new guidlines about doindthis and that u should only make up as you go along
was thinking especially with night feeds if you make up as you go along wont it be too hot how do you cool down?

Thick?

You don;t even know me, how very rude.

don't

Run along back to Bounty now, there's a good girl.

Oh dear.

ahhh, so you don't sterilise everything your lo has and now you are questioning yourself as how you can be so crazy and live life on the edge

I make them up 3 ata time adding powder to hot water as this is what sterilises the powder, I store in the fridge and then warm up.

Lucky, Enterobacter sakazakii is found in milk powder and can be potentially fatal. As I understand it it's a risk associated especially with formula milk powder and has nothing to do with whether or not you sterilise other items.

5gomadin dorset how can you be soooooo dangerous!!!!!! Good heavens woman.....the formula police will be here soon to take you away, you reheat????!!!!

(I'm being sarcastic of course....)

OK, Ill change my practice then

Lucky, why can't you accept that there is a risk?

I have, that's why I just said I will change my practice....I would never forgive myself if anything happened to my DD.

Just out of interest (genuine), what is the incidence of fatalities in this situation?

It's all gone quiet.....

One study tested milk-based powdered infant formula products
obtained from a number of different countries and found that E. sakazakii could be
recovered from 20 (14%) of 141 samples. The majority of case of E. sakazakii
infection reported in the peer-reviewed literature have described neonates with
sepsis, meningitis and necrotizing enterocolitis, and the case-fatality rate among
infected neonates has been reported to be as high as 33%.

It's all gone quiet.....

your a nice person arent you!!! how pathetic!!

Who? Me? I'm only trying to advise her on the dangers, she asked!!!

no sorry not meant for you just the person who chooses to be rude and call us thick!!!

And you're right, I am a nice person, thanks

Oh right. Ok then, glad you've read this thread and understand the dangers now ang.

Just a link to the Department of Health leaflet on preparing bottles safely: here. They issued this advice in 2005

I didnt sterilise bottles after 6 months...you are right they do put everything in their mouths at that age - but sterilising and killing potentially fatal e-coli bacteria are completely different.

i have and all it needed was to be politlely told like you did with the facts rather than all guns blazing with abuse and put downs. And people wonder why we got defensive. Thanks again chequers

OMG- how can they be allowed to sell formula that isn't sterile?
I had no idea.
