Here we go. I was too sick, sleepy and preoccupied with my weight to notice the old thread running out

I'm taking the piss btw

Where are you going SG?

Seansgirlthesequel · 21/05/2008 20:51

Ah Ha!

Seansgirlthesequel · 21/05/2008 20:52

Woolacombe.

TG Foxy, had some very disturbing visions of an 8 year old......

Izzybel · 21/05/2008 20:53

I drink milk by the pint! I am a cow, moo!

Seansgirlthesequel · 21/05/2008 20:53

Why didn't you eat it Izzy?

Seansgirlthesequel · 21/05/2008 20:53

Your dinner I mean btw

LittleMissNorty · 21/05/2008 20:54

I'm still here - just been standing out in the freezing cold garden hanging out washing and then putting on the next lot.

Izzy, I take the chill off it but not as warm as I would do formula - she seems to be happy, but has gone from 9oz to 6oz a time within a week. I've been doing one cows milk and one formula so far and will probably continue until the forumla has all been used.

are you making bottles up with tap water? Mad innit....on one hand I'm moving her to cows milk and on the other, I'm still using boiled water for any formula she has (even though she drinks tap water all day here!!)

Izzybel · 21/05/2008 20:54

There is a thread in active convos about BFing an 8 year old.

foxythesnowfox · 21/05/2008 20:55

have you seen that thread?

Seansgirlthesequel · 21/05/2008 20:55

Izzy! Oh, God each to their own I suppose.......

Seansgirlthesequel · 21/05/2008 20:56

I don't think I could look...

LittleMissNorty · 21/05/2008 20:59

oh god - do you remember that programme that was on not so long ago....that child saying "mummy's milk please"

Izzybel · 21/05/2008 20:59

Norty, I'm still making bottles up with cooled, boiled water so that does sound a bit doolally doesn't it! I'm still sterilizing too, but mostly because it would feel weird not to. I would feel like I had forgotten to do something or done something wrong if I didn't .
Lord help me! I'm a sterilizing addict!

SG, I wasn't hungry before but I might have some cereal.

Izzybel · 21/05/2008 21:02

No BFing until 8 years wouldn't be my cup of tea either, but I wouldn't say so on any other thread for fear of being shot!

Seansgirlthesequel · 21/05/2008 21:03

Just wondering if there was an announcement Izzy?

And I'm still sterilising formula and using boiled water like as you say it would seem odd not too.... but also still using boiled cooled water as a drink too

Izzybel · 21/05/2008 21:04

Think that thread is kicking off. Only read the beginning bit.

LittleMissNorty · 21/05/2008 21:04

oh right. I'm even more odd than that as I haven't sterilised since 6 months, she's only ever drunk cold water out of a tap but all bottles have been made up with cooled boiled water (she even has her own kettle for non-filtered water )

Perhaps I should stop worrying and just do cows milk and tap water

Seansgirlthesequel · 21/05/2008 21:04

No absolutely Izzy, I'm not one for going and starting an arguement either its not what I come here for.
