Hi again

Another stinker of a day here. Got mum's group at 2pm for the first time this year and I've co-ordinated it. Looks like we'll be getting 2 newbies and one is due to give birth in the next 2 months!

Forumla: Well actually IK is right that you do need to be careful with bacteria and spores in forumula and it relates to how warm the milk gets after its' been partly consumed by the baby and/or how long its been left out! I don't know if you need to sterilise bottles for EBM but bacteria breeds in warm cow's milk so I guess it would be best to do that too just to be safe. Babies can't warn off bacterial infections so well in the first 12 months so you only need to sterilise bottles for 12 months.

Sad news: Don't know if any of you interstaters have heard about the senseless murder of a 40 yr old man outside a Brisbane pub on Sunday morning? Well I found out yesterday it was a friend of mine and Aleise's godmother (Kerri). Brian used to be Kerri's flatmate and I ran into him only 2 weeks ago, gave him a kiss on the cheek and wished him a Happy New Year. His workplace is two streets away from where I live. I balled my eyes out when they played the security footage of him leaving the pub at 1am Sunday. He had a pokies win and was kicked and bashed to death and left to die on a back street only metres from his unit. :frown: I caught the headlines at 12.30 that police have caught the F***wit who did it and I hope he rots in jail! Honestly it he just wanted money then why didn't he just take the wallet?? Apparently Brian was beat so bad police had to rely on his keys that led to his car and his unit to identify him. Brian's rellies are flying in with dental records to verify. I'm going to leave a card at his workplace so they can pass it on to the family. Just goes to show you can't be too careful!

Well haven't caught up on all the news in here as yet. Will try to do that now.

See you later.
