You don't know what express means do you. :)

Trust me, those cushions are worth 5/8ths of feck all when it's 4am in the morning and you're doing the 5th feeding for that night/morning.

Ant, so we can safely say your wife is not a suitable mother and has problems with the twins :(

It's very odd but after sticking up for Ant someone deleted my post. Was this out of anger?

Yeah, we were quite concerned about that for a while there. Not just formula from China but any formula that may have been made from products coming from China as it's not always clear: 'Made in Australia' doesn't mean that it's not made in Aust. from constituent products from China for instance. Anyways thankfully it all turned out ok and the formula we use is fine.

I offered my son to breastfeed him once when he was a few weeks old. :) He tried to drink, sucking quite hard.

But he didnt fall for that twice.

Breast Feeding tips anyone?

For me, it makes sense to do both natural breastfeeding and augment with bottled breast milk (especially at night).

Have 2 issues:

- train the baby to accept the bottle
- train the mother to allow the bottle to be used. Starting to get a freezer full of expressed breast milk, but when is the right age to start this dual feeding?

Any one have any early (first month) stories?

Gripe Water - is it ok to use on a daily basis?

Cheers!

. Is it normal and/or OK in Thailand not to use Vitamin-D for the first year of the Baby's life ?
Could the Sun compensate so much, that it isn't needed ?

Its a must where I come from.

Thanks Helge

I have moved my question here cause of the very catchy thread title:)

The sun helps a lot, I had to put my baby in the sun for 40 minutes each morning coz he was a little jaundiced shortly after birth,it did the trick

Know the situation well
Our baby spent the night in a Light Box. Broke our hearts to see her with tape over her eyes. I was about to tear down the Hospital, and the Wife wept.

Yes it's awful when they're sick.
I hope your girl gets better soon mate :)

Nah, she not sick at all.
She was a bit yellow when she was born, as many are, and the Hospital overdramaticed it.
She just turned 3 month and are very lively.

Thanks for yuor thoughts though
