Evening all, how is everybody?
fruit e wouldn't touch cereal really until I used cows milk but I might try again with his formula and see if it works. He drains the morning bottle in about 3 minutes so I'm pretty sure he will still want milk before anything else but it's worth a go :) I don't want his milk intake to drop too suddenly, he has dropped to 24-26 oz which is a lot less from 40 or so before solids! Yay for crawling too :)
Aww chasing that's lovely! Do hope he's not coming down with anything though bless him. Your house will look fucking awesome and be all you and o ish :) bless him re: the fall, poor little man :( they all do it at some point though, e has fallen off a footstool, I think it's just part and parcel of growing up. Hope the calpol helps him
pass I feel the same re teeth, I swear e has been teething for the longest time with sod all to show for it!! Hope wee p is back on track soon bless her. I also struggle sometimes with e as he will often just keep on eating! When he is definitely finished he blows raspberries none stop though and for breakfast he is nosy and barely opens his mouth if he isn't fussed with it, his lips open a bit and I could push the spoon in but he doesn't actually open his mouth so I take it to mean he doesn't want any :/
vq sounds like more than thrush, that! I do hope you are better soon! I am also really glad J liked the yoghurt :) can you get dairy free custard am clueless as e liked that and then would take it with mashed banana in and other fruits :) or would he be allowed jelly? I know these things aren't awfully healthy but it's a start and might encourage him that bit more :) I know you know much more than I do about weaning and babies in general so feel free to tell me to churrup :)
Hope they do intend on paying you for proper lessons pr :)
izzy that must be quite frustrating because clearly he can go without the food, but getting him to at night doesn't seem to be a goer does it
Loving the rhymes bry!
Aw fatima how sweet :) I think e was saying no today but I'm not sure, it was nonononono when I took his juice after he tipped it everywhere and the same when his daddy left for work (with a tear too :() but ill see if he does it again now
Make sure you drink plenty and look after yourself lily
E cannot clap yet, doesn't even try. He can wave but prefers to shriek at people in acknowledgement of their arrival
Woohoo for self settling bplp shame you have to get her up. Glad she enjoyed nursery too :D good stuff!
chasing that sounds like a nice slow way of doing it :) before trying that you could always go straight for the in cot awake/after fed to sleep and see what happens? I did that with Eric, he used to nap on the sofa and learned to roll so one day I just started from the morning nap and put him in the cot awake, I'd kept him up a bit longer than usual so he was really quite sleepy and that was that. pikz's advice sounds good stuff too :)
E has been doing his new routine since Thursday and it seems to be going ok :) after the first day though he hasn't taken more than 3oz at his tea time bottle. He is eating well and has started to drain the lunchtime bottle and barely touch that last one. I am giving him a week and then might just make 4oz up for tea time. That's alright isn't it? . I haven't been as strict with the routine as I usually would be, I'm not sure if that's better or not. He gets put down at 2 for a nap and whatever time he wakes up at dictates when he goes to bed at. I put him to bed 3 hours after he wakes. Today he woke at half four, had tea at 4:45, ate a metric fucktonne, drank 2oz, then bottle at 7:15 and bed at 7:30. Tomorrow will mean similar or bed at 8 but after that I hope it goes closer to 7 so might after put him down for a nap at 1:30 or so because he's seeming to sleep for 2.5-3 hours for that nap.
Another weigh in tomorrow, am only going cos I want them to measure his length so they stop moaning he is too big.
Hope I haven't missed anything! How is the fair detective today?
Hope you are having a nice holiday stunt
