Viv - in answer to your questions
1) how do you dry whatever you've boiled sterilised? - we use a microwave steriliser, but I don't dry anything I sterilise otherwise it wouldn't continue to be sterile.
2) do you sterilise them just before you give the bottle or do you store them? if so, where? - yes, things are kept sterile for 3 hours when kept in the container
3) how do you warm the EBM if it's been in the fridge/freezer? - we have an Avent bottle/food warmer takes a few minutes to heat the bottles
4) is it the same calculation for how much ebm they get as if you were doing formula? - whatever Cath says.

Also, Viv, what room temp does JJ usually sleep in? We bought one of those Grobag egg thermometers and even with the aircon on and the room really cold it still says around 24 deg when the recommendation is 18 - 20. Great toy tho and can see how you could get addicted to taking the temp.

Tiff - sorry to hear about your dog, but you are absolutely right to get rid of a dog that fights cause he could attack a child. Was worried how one of my dogs would react to L as he was my little baby, but so far seems to be really good. Tho would never leave the dogs alone with L.

Brissy girls - outside Big W would be good as the Parents Room is close by. Excellent room BTW.

L was weighed today. He has put on 430gr in the last fortnight. He is in the 25th percentile for weight and HC and the 50th for length. Still a small guy but getting bigger all the time. He might make 4kg by next Tuesday in time for our lunch.

Hi to everyone. Hope you are all having a good day.
