Hi all, I'm still lurking! Baby small had an awful night on Tuesday and I was fully prepared for a repeat but then he slept through 
. I can only think he must be ill! He is also refusing to eat anything today but will guzzle his bottles. Do weaned babies do food refusing does anyone know? Is my food that bad?! I can't see a tooth so don't think it's that and he is otherwise fine.
I haven't really caught up on the thread but will with my next bad night which will probably be tonight!

small I find that Kid tends either to want milk or food on any one day. I got told to look at intake over a week rather than a day for peace of mind!
larle re your aunt. Hope she is over it and things are on the mend!

Hello everyone, dp did night feeds last night which was great as we were in no nap hell all day yesterday, I was explaining to him how frustrating it is trying to get him to sleep in the day and his response was "you've been off with him for 8 months he should be Ina routine by now" I was not impressed!!!
Very strange day today, all bottles refused up until now and I've had to switch back to a slow flowing teat and a bottle of ready to feed. He's been v grumpy and clingy the last couple of days so I'm wondering if its teeth, looks like the babies are conspiring again marbles 
Hello daddy funch, feel free to de lurk if you feel like letting us know how your days are going, we would love to hear from you.
Mountains of house work to do but coffee first I think.

Brilliant that he slept through small! I think food refusing is normal when weaning, & we found some days DD ate barely anything then next day ate loads! He could be getting a tooth tho!
Susie, I think I would be 
at DH if he said that to me!!
Oh larle :( hope you sort things out! Shame she didn't just call you & sort it out at time rather than letting it go on & you worrying she didn't care. Hope you can sort it out 
!
We've been at play centre today as usual - baby bee went on slides on my knee! He's still under the weather but seems a little better than last night. Only drunk 4oz of milk all day tho so I imagine we will have a feedathon tonight!! X

Oh forgot to say small - I did baby bee some pear and baby rice this afternoon - he pulled faces and made gagging gestures - its normally his favourite, so I thought oh not hungry, he then pinched DD's breadstick and houmous - loved it & tried to bite breadstick - cue screaming when I took it away, so DH got him an Ella's kitchen pouch of apples and bananas and he wolfed the lot down! Obviously my cooking is not up to his standard' x

goat how is kid today? Hope your quarantine period is soon at an end.
funch I think you're pretty much right in your view on DH involvement, I suppose my problem is that it is easier to allow it than to 'force' him to get better, seeing as he never has had the same involvement as me and never can while he's at work and I'm on leave also I am a massive control freak not to mention demanding perfectionist so you're right that probably its due to circumstance, but then again I still feel I've been more in tune with both girls as babies from the beginning. Anyway though, he's fab with toddlers so I let him off, despite the regular occasional grumble 
to daddyfunch if you're out there, hope you're enjoying your time with baby funch, de-lurk and come discuss cake with us in the early hours soon :)
Teeth ok today thanks susie, just a bit sore around where the anaesthetic was injected. I'm such a weed though, most of you probably wouldn't have batted an eyelid!
mrsn I definitely get the boredom, don't worry it's perfectly normal. This morning I was seriously bored, had no plans until 2ish and we were up at 7, could feel myself getting really lazy so we got some paints out and did potato prints, babylump mushed some carrot around and then we all had a bath, managed to pass a good few hours and I didn't feel so bad afterwards.
larle such a shame your family didn't speak to you in the first place, have you sorted things out now? Facebook causes so many problems! Hope you're ok xx
Welcome twinkle sorcery to hear of bad start, are you both ok now?
Sorry to anyone I've missed, finishing post now as DH and I are off out for a meal on our own and I've got to go get ready.
Hope everyone gets a good night tonight xx

Excited for you having a DATE heff!! Cannot wait for my dm's next visit so we can do the same.
Mrsn I was bored quite a lot, and I knew I would be, hence early return to work 
. Now when I see her I always want a bit more time with her which is lovely (though in the evenings I see her after nap and do bedtime so 5:15-7:00 but she is often very tired which makes it a bit hard work. Really looking forward to Saturday and my babyfunch time when DH is at rugby. the fact I plan to go to the new local patisserie not a factor at all
I have realised I never feel tired at work and am pretty ok at home as I can go to bed early, so have started to feel more normal than I have in months. I think DH gets a fairly good deal since I utterly sympathise when he is exhausted and am really happy to help if he should reach breaking point. We are a good team on nights!
Larle glad you have worked out what the problem was, hope your aunty stops stropping.
Brain are you out there?!
Goat hope you are post quarantine soon if not already!
Argh can't see other posts to reply to on app, hang on....

Glad it's not just me then - I feel guilty about so many things when it comes to little man. I think I will look for another class to go to. And try and plan as much as I can. When is everyone back to work again? I'm back in September. I really, really want to get to goal so I can apply to be a WW leader while I'm still off.
I'm knackered tonight as usual! It's funny how you say you aren't as tired now you are back at work Funch, just shows how tiring it is even though I feel like I'm not doing anything half the time.
Heff my mouth was sore where the injections went after I got my tooth out so you are not a wimp! Or I'm a wimp too

I am out tonight! Without Kid!! On my own!!!
Keep looking in my bag and thinking 'oh , I have forgotten the nappy bag - disaster!'
This is the third time in nearly 8 months that I have left the house without him...
Yep to boredom. Sometimes I think if I have to build that damn tower to be knocked over one more time, I shall throw it all out the window Just as well Kid has a really catching giggle to keep me going!
Quarantine nearly up! Should make class tomorrow morning.

Heff I think your DH and mine, and you and me seem to be scarily alike, as I could have written that paragraph about DH's
Hello Tinkle
I'm back at work three weeks on Monday - booooo! Although, as I do have to go back I am looking forward to starting my new job
Missmarbles has self-settled
and I'm sure it's not a one-off either!! We ended up co-sleeping last night as she just wouldn't settle in her cot and being as I really needed to sleep, I cut my losses early. Tonight began badly but she flipped onto her tummy and went to sleep! Then when we checked her, as we were coming to bed I think it woke her, so I fed her at half eleven, and had a transfer failure but she didn't sound serious so I shut the door and ducked behind the cot to see what would happen; within 30 seconds she was on her tummy and asleep! Now I am crapping myself and not expecting to sleep a wink despite thinking that she will probably sleep all night

Fun times Goat and Heff! Enjoy!
Missmarbles is a bit on and off from meal to meal, Small, and a determined spoon refuser I was forced to do BLW whether I wanted to or not. I planned on doing a mix but she wouldn't allow it! She does let me feed some things with a spoon now; think she worked out that yoghurt and soup are actually quite difficult to eat with your hands

Ah here you all are! Kept looking at old thread and thinking it was quiet, missed the link, silly me, as if you chatterboxes would be quiet
Welcome daddyfunch :) Tips for swimming: more than one towel and milk ready for afterwards plus snack for yourself of course. Swimming always makes you hungry.
Will be back later to catch up, transferring now...
