⚠️ We've issued new advice for parents who use the SteriFeed colostrum collector

🚫 The SteriFeed colostrum collection device should not be used to directly feed babies due to the serious risk of choking if the cap is not removed

#ProudMummy My middle #GD ‘baby’ loves collecting sea glass just like me. Fantastic hobby & really helps our #MentalHealth getting out in that sea air! #SeaGlass #ScottishSeaGlass #SeaGlassAddict

[Clovenfords Primary School @Clovenfords_ps]

P3/4 have been engaged in personal home learning projects with Scotland as a theme. This pupil chose Scottish Sea Glass. He is able to spot the most amazing pieces on our Scottish beaches. He prepared a wonderful presentation to share with his class. @SBCEducation1 @SBCOutdoorEd

@DXdelivery My husband emailed this morning & had no response. Live chat is not working, I’ve tried calling but it asks to use live chat. NO ONE is responding. I’ve DM’d & now see you have posted that social media is closed for the evening 😠 #WorstCustomerServiceEver @DXdelivery

[Jo Paterson @GDUKMums]

@DXdelivery I have!

[Jo Paterson @GDUKMums]

@DXdelivery Yet again you have failed to show up. I’ve watched this delivery leave Edinburgh, the closest it got was Melrose & has now returned to Edinburgh. Over a week late & 3 days off waiting in. Shocking service!

[Jo Paterson @GDUKMums]

@DXdelivery your service is shocking😡 3 days off waiting for this delivery which I was home for when u apparently attempted to deliver.Over a week late now! Yet again waited in all day to watch this delivery leave Edinburgh, go to Melrose & drive miles away. Where is my parcel?!

[Jo Paterson @GDUKMums]

@hannahfearn Yes, my middle son did. He’s now almost 7 yrs and fine with peanuts (although doesn’t like them)
