You askled for it...remember the woman I used to childmind for who wanted plates etc sterilized for a 2y.o.? well, she bottle fed her first (and the second a bit) and she used to take up all the bottles for the night at 8pm, and use them through the night. (even in the summer when temps were in the 80s) She'd stay up there till about 11 am the next morning, or even later, still using the same milk, often reusing started bottles. She'd reheat it with a flask of hot water if she needed to. When they were bigger, she did the same with bottles of cows' milk. Now i'm not fussy, but the double standards here had me very confused!

I think there is a big market for " bedroom fridges " ! We have a teasmade, and it really defeats the object of being woken up with a cup of tea if you have to blunder downstairs to get fresh milk. (Someone will now point me in the direction of a thermos flask or cool bag...) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep. And the same people can be very anxious about all sorts of other safety issues. -- Vaudin jennifer@... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
