hawthers, I stomp along the landing many times a night occasionally swearing at DT1. I hear you on the weaning. I fucking hate fucking weaning too. I hate the stained clothes and viva (but also can't be bothered to do the strip-to-nappy for all food people recommend, my boys hate dressing) I can't stand all the batch cooking, taking a cool bag with some tub of super messy stuff when out and wiping the floor a gazillion times a day. I'm delaying potty training as though DD is quite reliable at telling me she's done a poo, and occasionally a wee, she has never got anything in the potty (sits on it every night after the bath). The only reason I got a potty is her ongoing refusal to lie down for her nappy... At least your child goes to sleep again in the night without being pushed 3 miles for an hour at 2am? . And, how shit am I- I still don't ever have my three by myself for more than 2-3 hours at a time. My poor mum or dad do long days up helping me, followed by their 50+ mile drive home, and both have confessed they find it just exhausting. I feel pretty guilty about that, and that I still am not confident managing my three solo.
Oh, and also, on the quantities, my paediatrician friend says it takes 6 weeks to starve to death. Wierdly that always cheers me up if we have a bad eating week here 
plus apparently the amount etc eaten over a week(or is it a fortnight?) is far more important than at each meal/day, so I'd try not to worry at all unless its weeks of it. Sore teeth days often lessen intake too. My DD pretty much self weaned in the day from 8.5 months, and hasn't drunk any milk since (bar bf morning and night til nearly 15 months). She had some really bad eating days but is still fine weight wise, hasn't affected her.
biscuits, I got the multivit, Dh never asks about that, never reminded me about pregnancy vitamins or anything but he and my dad ( retired doctor) ask daily if I've taken my vit D- therefore I assume its needed! Hv hadn't mentioned it. I just had my weaning visit from a student hv and she told me to get DD a multi vitamin with vit D in, and said for the babies from 6 months.
pomme, S is as cheery as you like if held and played with/sung to/talked to. He will grin, and coo and babble. He loves attention and was delighted to be passed round 67,4789 guests at said disasterous wedding. Put him down though, day or night and the menace howls. He won't sit in the pushchair hardly at all either. The only thing he likes is being naked, doing his baby lap dancing wriggles and scooting round the bathroom floor on his back... So he's not miserable every single time he's flat on his back either. Honestly, poor B gets such a bum deal because he demands the vast majority of the attention. My dad refers to S as Luigi, as he says he's a man of the night who's got an eye for the ladies and he's got the moves... It's B who seems ?? more unsettled after feeds/ generally if I up my dairy I think, but I'm really not sure. It's B not S who is more refluxy. Or was, recently S has been chucking up everywhere and had some baby squits, so who knows?? I'm stumped. Is have to travel a fair way for baby osteopathy, (well, 4 motorway junctions and they do seem to like crashing on the m6 near me ). Googled it... I'm not sure- is it a one off or a series of visits?? I'd have to get DD babysat and take both boys, which so far does not make for stress free travelling. But if it worked... totally would be worth it!
