I don't know much about prem babies but we use hipp and it's fine. We switched to it as aptimal suddenly started coming back up. I still don't know if the milk was the issue or if it was something else. But we have continued with it for baby 2.


You can also get donated breast milk while in hospital (if you want to - appreciate that's not what you were asking!)


I have used both avent and nuk bottles. Both fine but nuk ones leak when they fall over unless an internal cap thing is on which is pretty irritating.

Congratulations on your twins!


We reused the small bottles and teats that I was given to express into while my son was in SCBU to begin with when we got home. I think we still have some of the teats if you would like them? Once he was a bit bigger we used tommee tippee just because it was the one my partner picked up in Sainsburys! Worked well though!


Baby was on Nutriprem 2 for about a year which our GP advised us to do so then we just moved onto normal cow and gate so I can't offer a recommendation for organic formula.

We used the Holle milk and were very happy - all other milks we tried (including the hipp organic) caused stomach trouble, colics, worse sleep. Holle is fully organic and very strictly controlled (Swiss company, highest standards), while Hipp has only some organic ingredients, Holle is a way more trustworthy company than Hipp, in my opinion (Hipp has had some major scandals in Germany using sugar in baby tea, labelling baby products wrong, etc).

As we had the colic problems, we finally found Tommee Tipee, the one with anti colic tube inside, and were very happy with that. Whenever we had to use a different bottle, she had hiccups and cried a lot.

That`s a very personal experience, but maybe it helps - good luck with everything!

    • I am looking for a mobile mechanic to help me either take out my car battery or connect a trickle charger.  Does anyone have any contacts for this.   Thanks 
    • We need to build houses for social rent. Not 'affordable housing' (which is a euphemism for housing that is completely unaffordable to most) - actual council housing.  Taxes do need to go up. We have to stabilise public services and start paying down our national debt to break free of the sway bond markets have over UK governments freedom to act. We are probably all going to have to work longer too. The original UK state pension was there to help those who often had been in physically demanding manual or labouring jobs. The retirement age was set above average life expectancy at the time; It was not designed for a population of mainly white collar workers people to spend one-quarter, to one-third of their adult life in retirement. I know that may sound harsh, and I certainly don't want to work forever, but the fact is that we have an aging population and a diminishing tax base, and no politician who is willing to make fundamental reforms. Mostly we need to grow, and that means at some point, addressing our relationship with the world's largest trading block right on our doorstep. The damage done by Brexit has been crazy. The fact that it's chief architect has managed to come up smelling of roses and may potentially be our next PM is just mind blowing to me.
    • Mice will eat *anything*! That shop had a couple of very low food hygiene ratings over the years (and it was closed for "refurbishment" for a while which was obviously the first attempt to deal with the pest problem) so I'm not surprised by that article. You'd hope that pest control would have dealt with the majority of them...
    • Makes me wonder where the mice will have gone since it closed down.
