I'm not sure what you are fuming about. You really wrote a letter to GJ about this?

I'd have just cleaned it off with a wipe and given it back to the baby. Then again I've seen kids that age put some fairly gross stuff in their mouth anyway.

QUOTE (kriattica @ 01/09/2012, 03:28 PM) Most places are not allowed to give you boiling water as it is dangerous to you and other customers. I dont think its an issue to worry about personally. Go to the nearest toilet and rinse it off. I missed the OP, but just about this ^^ really? But what is black coffee if not boiling water with caffeine?

How would a bit of hot water sterilise a dummy? Perhaps they should install autoclaves in every Gloria Jeans for the use of all of us who need something sterilised stat.

Yes, I asked for a cup of hot water to warm my baby's bottle one day and was knocked back. Apparently it is a policy for all Gloria Jeans stores. Seems kind of silly when you consider they gave me a free babycinno for my toddler which had a lot of very hot milk at the bottom which would have scalded him if I had given it to him without checking. But what can you do? Their shop, their rules. Don't go there again. It's crap coffee anyway!

I've never used a dummy but I caught DS3 (8 months) sucking on one of DH's thongs the other day. He was really going to town on it. I can guarantee that the place your dummy dropped was a hell of a lot cleaner then those flip flops. DS is fine. Did she need the dummy back right away?
