smoking? blamed on a niple!! ive heard it all now.

We've got #3 on the way. First was on the bottle within two days, a combination of us being young and naive, mixed with the fact the wife had an emergency c section so he abdomen was really painfull and having a child swinging off her breast was not helping at all and was hurting. We just put him on SMA as appeared to be the main brand (like cocacola is to fizzy pop).

By the time the time number two was here We'd matured a tad and had a better shot at breast feeding (plus the hospitals seemed to encourage it more now which helps too) and managed to keep number 2 on the nipple for 4 weeks then a further 4 on pumped milk. Then the next 4 weeks were a mixture of pumped milk and hip organic formula (not in same feed, formula was bedtime, she was struggling to sleep). I chose hip organic as it seemed to be the best out of a bad bunch and had read its recomendation on this thread Homemade Baby Formula

If it were down to me number 2 would be on it till shes 3 year old.
