It wasn’t the boiled water part I’d objected to, it was the bottles taken out of the sterilser and left on the counter with no lids on. Yes, I know you were waiting for the water to cool.

I’d love to see the research on exactly what happens with the bottles once sterilsed in the microwave, ie how long do they remain sterile with just freshly boiled water in and sealed up?

Evan doesn’t have everything sterilised as he’s been putting things in his mouth for ages anyway. Well, with help from his big sister mainly.

They know this because they’ve done this same breast milk smell test on baby lab rats - and they ask them.

So what’s supposed to happen to old boiled water? Never heard that one before…

I have often wondered if children and their parents have been fitted with some kind of magnet that draws them to one another.

I’ve never even heard this theory of smell. I can’t imagine they have some sort of super sniffers either. However, babies do seem able to tell their parents apart from other adults, and they’ve got to be using something. Radar?
