Hey .Danni, don't worry about it too much
- you've apologised and it's obvious you
didn't intentionally insult anyone. It's
true that having your own baby is
definitely diferent to looking after other
people's but i'm sure you will do a fine
job. Just keep reading up on the facts
and then, like kia said, make your own
decisions. It doesn't matter what anyone
else you know is doing with their baby -
if you are doing something armed with all
the facts and in the best interests of
your child then that is the best any of us
can do.
As for use of a dummy, I tried to get my
son to use one when he was a few weeks old
because he wouldn't settle at night very
well but he just couldn't get the hang of
it. I just gave up in the end because
he started sleeping through the night of
his own accord.
Back to the topic, I give my son cow's
milk now, not formula. He eats plenty of
other good stuff so I don't feel he needs
the vitamins in formula any more. It's
just a bottle before he goes in his cot (i
don't leave him unattended with it, even
now). It's part of our bedtime routine
and it's going to be a hard one to break I
think!
