stunt level 2 avent here. 3 for the dream feed only. 3 during the day she turns away.

gt I understand the different culture thing. But there are times you need to resist. There is no fucking way I would let my husband go out drinking every night, even if iteez Frrrrrench to have ze aperitif every day. Non!

Ahhhhhh strawmoo! Yummy! Det another good dessert!

Right. Finally. DD1 asleep or, at least in bed on her own. I'm having a

I use size twos. Took us ages to make the move from size ones as he just wasn't ready. Hadn't even contemplated going up to threes.

Feeling very down again. Not sure if I need to up my meds or if it is just 'normal' emotions considering my situation. Plus lack of sleep/food.

We're on 4s. If there was a 5 we'd be on those. Milk can't come fast enough for DS. Sorry stunt am not also still bf'ing so that doesn't answer your Q, but isn't it funny how a group of babies so similar in age can be so different?

Phone battery about to die and charger is in with ds so very quickly....

size 3 mam in day, 2 for df here. But he is ff on anti reflux milk

ds 30 weeks today and weighed today. And measured. 20lb 11 1/2 oz and 78cm long. Big sod.

I do have peoples to reply at but don't have the phone juice so will get some replying done when I do the df

GT I totally understand the act like a dick/nice guy cycle. I have that here too. I also get you just wanting a quiet night with no argument. At the start of the relationship, I would always argue my point and stand up for myself. Now I rarely do. It makes my life easier and helps minimise arguments. Does mean that I am losing sight of who I am though. You win some, you lose some.

GT it is a shame your culture doesn't forbid alcohol and twat-ism eh?

PR I empathise about your fun with DD1 today. My DD2 has been a little charmer today, picking the bogies out if Js nose and eating them, for example. And running after DD1 on her bike, trying to put her fingers in the back wheel. And emptying the contents of her bladder in the kitchen. And being the most adorable beautiful little scamp this world has ever seen.

J seems much better this evening

How did it go Izzy?

Very hot here too, although I cannot wear shorts for fear of being harpooned.

Shit GT that really sucks - drinking spirits in volume never bodes well..... hope you get a nice quiet night - you too Chasing

Oh that's good vq is eating bogies innate? I have been worried about DS1 sticking her finger in her nose and scoffing :o

A nostril to a small child is like a hole to a bunny rabbit.

On that note, good night lovely ladies and Luis.

Good to hear. Was planning on bollocking DH.

New technique with DD1 this evening: no-one would lie down with her in our bed tonight. She had to take herself to (our) bed on her own. Then and only then would she get a hug and be left to sleep.

She wandered round like a zombie for about an hour while we ignored her. Then she held out her little hand and said 'bed'. So off we went, and she self settled.

I hate the rod for your own back comment. But OMG do I wish we had never allowed her to co-sleep and OMG am I relieved that LO has never and will never becallowed to think that sleeping with us is a good thing. Because it isn't. Every morning I wake up with backache and neck ache from sleeping round my toddler.

Co-sleepers, I believe the optimum age to move them is or was 6 or 10 months.

Else you'll be me a year down the line. Even though she has a lovely bed of her own. Which she likes to look at. Look. Or maybe have a story in.

Agh.

Good night VQ!

Mine is just starting! Been tasked with finding a caravan up to 90 minutes away, for a few days at the end of June. For 4 adults, 4 kids! And they all have to fit, luggage, buggies (x2!) and the rest of it in to our two cars. A fiesta and a clio (3 door!). Fuck. So on that note - does anyone have any recommendations? Especially for baby friendly caravan sites in the north west, south lakes, north wales etc.

We had a BBQ. I am ready to explode I am so uncomfortably full. Feel sick. Stopped eating 3 hours ago.

O is in his grobag, got one in sainsbury. I have had to leave him sans clothes though as it is too warm.

Feel sick. Help!

We've been very lucky PR. O hasn't been in our bed for quite some time - I think 4 months, seemed to stop when we went away to my dads. He used to come in for the last couple of hours, but now doesn't at all. Even at the height of the sleep regression, he didn't appreciate being in bed with us.

I can't remember with DS1, but he just grew out of it, and like O, it was just in the early hours.

I dunno how you manage with a toddler. I'd need a super king sized bed probably!

I'm sure I am going to vomit. Urggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh.

Oh, to explain my earlier bad temper: while I was giving a bottle to LO dd1 built herself a climbing frame. Despite at least a hundred nons she climbed on it and fell. I got up when she screamed and her leg was twisted under it. Looked broken.

But non, as soon as I had put LO down, DD1 burst out laughing.

Does that justify my little shit comment earlier? No? You'll get there.... And vq and kirrin and others will understand... And GT you need to read and think. Two kids. Two parents. No pissing off to the pub.

Try bar end in south scotland. They are a chalwt park in dumfrieshire but used to have campers. Otherwise, bolton le sands. Lovely park. Or Capernwray?

Capernwray Have New England caravan park?

Scotland would be too far - not wanting to go a long way! Will look at bolton le sands. And the other one! (Where is that?!)

Did I mention, I feel sick?!

Quick post. Got on well at Dr's. Prescribed infant gaviscon but how the fucking Fuck do you get that into a breastfed baby?! Been trying to syringe it in after last two feeds. Cue much screaming and choking. Last one particularly tricky as he falls asleep at breast. One very angry J here!

Right next to chez me.

If you come up during my trip I can show you a few places?

You're not knocked are you Detective ?

Up

fucking

izzy E was subscribed IG for silent reflux. She was ebf, never got it into her. Eventually got prescribed ranitidine (after 12 nights in hosp, not that you will end up like that of course). I fear your battle may not be over But glad you at least got somewhere. Hopefully the drs will take you seriously from now on.

izzy could you mix it in with a puree? Turn it into a kind of game? With a very easy starter food like pear. Or chickeb? LO refused everything til I introduced meat and fish. Except pear. Or carrots with butter.
