I don't know much about prem babies but we use hipp and it's fine. We switched to it as aptimal suddenly started coming back up. I still don't know if the milk was the issue or if it was something else. But we have continued with it for baby 2.


You can also get donated breast milk while in hospital (if you want to - appreciate that's not what you were asking!)


I have used both avent and nuk bottles. Both fine but nuk ones leak when they fall over unless an internal cap thing is on which is pretty irritating.

Congratulations on your twins!


We reused the small bottles and teats that I was given to express into while my son was in SCBU to begin with when we got home. I think we still have some of the teats if you would like them? Once he was a bit bigger we used tommee tippee just because it was the one my partner picked up in Sainsburys! Worked well though!


Baby was on Nutriprem 2 for about a year which our GP advised us to do so then we just moved onto normal cow and gate so I can't offer a recommendation for organic formula.

We used the Holle milk and were very happy - all other milks we tried (including the hipp organic) caused stomach trouble, colics, worse sleep. Holle is fully organic and very strictly controlled (Swiss company, highest standards), while Hipp has only some organic ingredients, Holle is a way more trustworthy company than Hipp, in my opinion (Hipp has had some major scandals in Germany using sugar in baby tea, labelling baby products wrong, etc).

As we had the colic problems, we finally found Tommee Tipee, the one with anti colic tube inside, and were very happy with that. Whenever we had to use a different bottle, she had hiccups and cried a lot.

That`s a very personal experience, but maybe it helps - good luck with everything!

    • Not sure about changing hands but the Peckham Rye one is open and hasn’t had any random closures. Our child is very happy there but there was a resolved Ofsted complaint half way through last year.  Things don’t look good for the Devon nursery owned by the same company - looks like loads of issues with Ofsted which can be seen in its latest report. 
    • I was in Forest Hill Road today, just past the Rye, and noticed there is a dentist next to the Herne (pub) that has NHS signs outside. I've never had any problems getting NHS dental treatment in East Dulwich, and I get regular check ups. I've been to three  different dental practices here over the years, all with NHS treatment. I think the difficulties are in other parts of the country. Malumbu has a good explanation above. I didn't hear the Radio 4 programme, but I'm guessing that a  radio programme is not going to have time to say where you CAN easily get NHS treatment, and is bound to focus on the negatives and the horror stories, otherwise it would be very boring! ETA: Re children's teeth, I think the major issue is not lack of dentists, it is children being given sugary food, drinks and confectionery which rots their teeth. The education of parents needs to be about this, not just about tooth brushing. And in some cases the poor diet may also be due to lack of money for healthy food. Though of course the lack of dentists doesn't help, if  the tooth rotting can't be rectified by fillings or extraction.
    • Well, I hope you like what you see, the hot air, lack of answers and continual blaming things on the last Government and the made up blackhole, I find are nauseating. The man needs to see reality, because I'd guess that if we had a snap election tomorrow and based on the first six months of this parliament, Labour would get trounced. When the election does finally happen and if that isn't before the people rise up and throw this lot out, Labour will not be voted back in for a millennium.
