)My little one is the same, he hates it now and spits it out every time! Have to do the tiniest amount at the back of his throat, then tickle his throat to make him swallow itMine are the opposite, can’t get it in them until about age 2, then they are like crack addicts for it (to be fair it’s bloody delicious.

I too have "modelled" how to take it, aka have a cheeky taste myself. It's too good not to 
My first daughter loved it right from a baby.12 hours post jabs and we’ve had a lot of sleeping and a some very dramatic crying but nothing too bad
Does anyone else’s babies bloody love calpol!? My little ones face lit up when she had her first taste today…
This time, nope
she absolutely hates it. To the point she cries every time I put a bit in her mouth My 3 year old will ask for it any time she hurts herself. Even in the slightest. Or if I give the baby some, she'll be like ohhhh I need some too
What?! All my babies, except my current, cried at the drops! My 3rd had never cried before, and lost her tit, and almost choked on themMy little one is weird and cried when they put the norovirus gel on his tongue at 8 weeks! she said she'd never had a baby ever do that before, which made me feel grrrrreat. Apparently it's very sweet but he wasn't having it at all
What's the best way to steralize new bottle teats? I use MAM and do them in the microwave. Is cold water and sterilising fluid enough? 
I’ve only ever cold water sterilised anything except the one microwave Mam bottle. Never had a problemWhat's the best way to steralize new bottle teats? I use MAM and do them in the microwave. Is cold water and sterilising fluid enough?
Thank you so much!
My son hid it under his tongue & smiled. The nurse was most put outMy little one is weird and cried when they put the norovirus gel on his tongue at 8 weeks! she said she'd never had a baby ever do that before, which made me feel grrrrreat. Apparently it's very sweet but he wasn't having it at all
We are 48 hours post 16 week jabs, yesterday wasn’t too bad, today’s been hysterical screaming & off feed. So sad as he’s usually such a happy boy.
Are they teats for the Mam bottles. I just wash them in the sink and then do them with the whole bottles in the microwave with the waterWhat's the best way to steralize new bottle teats? I use MAM and do them in the microwave. Is cold water and sterilising fluid enough?
I wash them in hot soapy water then just microwave them with the rest of the bottle.What's the best way to steralize new bottle teats? I use MAM and do them in the microwave. Is cold water and sterilising fluid enough?
When I got home and told my partner, he said he thought it was bullshit that she'd never had a baby cry at them before!What?! All my babies, except my current, cried at the drops! My 3rd had never cried before, and lost her tit, and almost choked on them
It's horrible seeing them like that! We had the same following 16 weeks. Took him a few days to get back to his usual self. Hope he feels better soon!My son hid it under his tongue & smiled. The nurse was most put out

Everyone told me they just sleep loads after the jabs.. my baby was up even more than ever!
Yeah it's just bigger size teats for mam bottles. Thank yous I'll do that!
What age did you start weaning your babies for mums of older ones? I’ve just seen something that’s really shocked me.
a girl I know (she lives in America) has a baby that is 2 weeks older than mine so baby is 17 weeks. She’s started feeding her... but the baby can’t even sit up yet, she’s literally sat in her dads lap and the
Mum is (attempting to) spoon feeding her with carrot purée. Surely 17 weeks is too early and I always thought baby has to be able to sit up unaided?

Completely too early, unless she's been told specifically by a doctor or paediatrician. I started weaning at 6 months, baby had been sitting up from 4-5 months so could definitely support himself too x
I mean I don’t know whether she has been told by a paediatrician but either way, just crazy!! My health visitor said I could start solids from 18 weeks which I find ridiculous
It's usually 6 months. Or as close to as possible.
I started purees with my second at 5 months... She could sit up unaided. And then once we hit 6 months, we went onto baby led weaning.
The main thing is baby being able to sit up unaided though whether they're 6 months or older.well, that's what I've always been told anyway
My little one is 5 months next week, and she can hold herself up we’ve just literally started the purée route this past few days…
Be prepared mummas it is hilarious watching their little faces with the new texture and tastes for these little people!
equally any tips please throw them this way!!
Biggest tip, Don't try too many different flavours at once, so if they do react to anything, it's easier to work out whatMy little one is 5 months next week, and she can hold herself up we’ve just literally started the purée route this past few days…

We started a week before first daughter was 6 months,
I’m definitely going to take things slower this time with everything, i felt last time i wanted to achieve each milestone quickly, and didnt get to actually fully enjoy each moment, it really does go by so quickly
Also with the weaning, she really wasn’t fussed with meals for ages, i would say 13/14 months is when she would enjoy for example a breakfast and I spent so long preparing food which she would have one mouthful of
i really wanted to do everything fresh but hated all the waste so ended up using a lot pouches
