J's diarrhoea has cleared up three days after he started antibiotics for an ear infection. Idiot mummy.
I was in the same boat after I had DS2 Madam basically working to pay the nursery fees. It sucks but I did it knowing eventually my pay would go up a bit and my nursery costs would go down a bit when DS1 started school. Personally I think it's a very unpleasant reality of modern Britain where both parents have to work while paying someone else to look after their children. It's great for the government as they get three lots of income tax instead of only one for a family with one working parent and one stay-at-home parent.
MM watch out for your DH if you do put a schedule into place. My DH has fucked it up good and proper today: making me feed J when he was just whinging in the night, having him out at the park at feed time, and wandering in to the bedroom at nap time brightly patting him J on the tummy and blowing raspberries at him when I was trying to get him to sleep. Now he's feeding and sleeping off schedule so I'll have to skip the 5 pm bottle of EBM and give it at bedtime instead, and wake him after a short nap so he'll still go to sleep at bedtime. The bedtime routine is awesome by the way, it has given us our evenings back as J is asleep by 8.30 pm at the latest every day.
