Five year old keeps chewing the teat from his bottle.

My five year old will only eat crisps. To make sure he gets enough sugar, I give him warm sugary tea in a bottle. I've noticed he chews the teat and the tea spills everywhere. Should I introduce a cup or just supplement with Haribou?

Have you tried filter coffee?

fairyfly · 10/05/2005 20:14

just get stoned and fuck feeding him, before you know it he''l be off your hands anyway

morningpaper · 10/05/2005 20:15

fuck feeding? Is that like cluster feeding?

I think that's what cluster feeding should be called...

CountessDracula · 10/05/2005 20:16

what is cluster feeding?

ROFL (specially at MP)

It's when your baby screams hysterically if you dare remove your breast from its mouth any time between 6pm and midnight.

omg

torture you mean?

CountessDracula · 10/05/2005 20:19

(may I just point out that the g in omg stood for goodness-gracious-me)

Twiglett · 10/05/2005 20:19

but seriously

you should make sure you vary the type of crips to make sure that you cover all food groups

so for example

chicken crisps (for protein) and cheese & onion (calcium / protein and veg)

oh and if you add a shot of vodka in the tea he'll sleep through the night for you

fairyfly · 10/05/2005 20:19

oh i've just dampened my knickers slightly mp you do make me laugh

morningpaper · 10/05/2005 20:20

Yes - they tried it at Abu Graib but Amnesty put a stop to it after protests

RTKangaMummy · 10/05/2005 20:21

What flavour crisps are they?

Bacon or Chicken or Beef so getting meat

Cheese and Onion = milk and veg

Salt and vinegar = sodium and vitamin and minerals

A very balanced diet IMHO

morningpaper · 10/05/2005 20:21

(that was referring to torture, not knicker-wetting)

Must go and scrub my kitchen floor now

Twiglett · 10/05/2005 20:21

RTKangaMummy · 10/05/2005 20:23

Must show that it will be good for the Darling Child

CountessDracula · 10/05/2005 20:23

lactulose is very good for upping the sugar content and it's free from the dr

He used to eat only Wotsits but his face was permanently orangey yellow and the HV had him admitted to hospital with suspected jaundice. He now becomes hysterical if he sees a sunbed.
