    Fall it is written in the box of every formula box "because powdered milks are not sterile, failure to follow instructions, may make your baby ill". It is written in red on aptimal not sure what colour on other brands. You can do whatever you want and if you go to holles street they will give you a booklet and in it it will have instructions on how to make a bottle but back to the topic the machine is a bargain :)

    Millem I have already responded to Sligo on this. I said it was a number of years ago when I had my child and it was common practise to add formula to already cooled bottles. My public health nurse was the one who told me how to make bottles at the time. I am also aware that I can do whatever I want. I don't need you to tell me that. I have never and will never do anything to endanger my child. I do not wish to continue this as it is derailing the thread so please do not direct any more posts directly at me. Thank you.

    I had heard that the Mothercare family card gave you 5% discount if buying online but on the website, I don't see anything about that. I was hoping to buy the buggy on line from them.

    Do you mean jars or formula? If it is formula....stage 1 is never ever on a deal


  • Registered Users Posts: 1,787 ✭✭✭Lashes28


    Yeah formula stage 1 aptimal was just wondering wether to hold out or just pick it up in shopping weekly

    There is some reason why the stage 1 stuff is never on special offer unfortunately. They can't advertise them either, you'd only ever see ads for follow on milk. Probably because the powers that be can't be seen not to promote breastfeeding or something.

    However if memory serves aptamil is the more expensive one, and SMA the cheapest? I used aptamil when I switched from breast as they said it was closest to breast milk but sure I'd say there's no difference between them really.

    Yes aptamil is the most expensive :( I think cow and gate is the cheapest now as sma changed their packaging and increased the price :( if you need hipp organic hungry milk http://www.buyersclub.ie/Browse-Shop/Baby-Child/hipp-organic-combiotic-hungry-infant-milk-2-from-birth-onwards-800g that is the cheapest place (it is €10.49 in shops) They were doing 25% off last week and discounts work on the milk for some reason.

    We got one of these as a gift, I'd have never bought it myself but we found it brilliant! Especially in the first couple of months when we seemed to be constantly changing nappies.

    I think it would be handy for middle of the night changes/early morning poos!!

    It's well worth it ... we did 90% of our changes on the changing table in his bedroom in the early days, and there isn't even the slightest whiff in the bedroom!

    I would hate to have to traipse downstairs with the nappy every time to avoid the smell, especially in the middle of the night!

    Chattastrope can you empty it in stages? By cutting bag and tiring a knot? Like tommee tippee one?

    Yeah I think that's how it works, the bag is like a big long tube so you just cut it and tie it off whenever it's getting full .... to be honest, that's my boyfriend's job, I've never once actually done it! :o

    I thought so! I think they are brill ! I wouldn't use it all the time as during the day I would just put them into wheelybin (I live in a house). If you did this your cassette would last longer. If I was in an apt I would just use it girl every nappy. That is a good deal because you get the cassettes for €11 which are cheaper than on amazon :)

    i got the tomme tippe nappy disposal system it wraps and seals the nappies on its own, handy for when your on your own
    its half price in mothercare 16.50

    http://www.mothercare.ie/catalog/product/view/id/121286/category/1922/

    the cassettes were hafl price but now just 6 for the price of 4

    http://www.mothercare.ie/bathing-changing/nappies/accessories/tommee-tippee-sangenic-compatible-cassettes-6pk.html

    as far as i know, the cassettes are just plastic as opposed to bags, meant to use less plastic

    They had tho Tommee Tippee one on Amazon with 6 cassettes for £26 last week but when I went to buy it, it had gone back up :mad: Today they have the Tommee Tippee blender for £7.20 and the Bumbo with tray for £29.95 :)

    I have the tommee tippee one and it is great, but the refills are extortionate unless you catch a special offer somewhere. To be honest after about a year I just used to put the nappy in a nappy bag and then put that into the nappy bin. It still keeps the smell in. Now having said that, I used to keep it upstairs and it wasn't the main changing area - most changes were done downstairs and those nappies were thrown out into a bin outside.
