Evil I expect it was an autocorrect but I do love the phrase 'fuck skates'. Are they like fuck-me boots but faster? Or just general annoyance like fucksticks? Grin

Eliza I had L weighed two weeks ago & think I said he was 18lbs and had moved from below 0.4 to 25th centile in a couple of months Smile The boy loves eating! I don't know how long he is but Daddy is 6'2". He is reducing his milk, he has 3x6oz and 1x5oz but even then he rarely finishes them. I'd say he's on 20oz ish.

Quite a good night here, just one screamy wakening. Sending love to the sleepy mums... Brew

MsJupiterJones · 17/07/2013 09:10

Oh forgot to say that was at 8 months old. He's in 6-9m clothing.

StuntNun · 17/07/2013 09:19

Oh and it didn't occur to me last night Kyz but my DS2 self-weaned from breastmilk at nine months old despite my efforts to keep him going. He wouldn't take formula at all so from then on he had a little bit of cows milk (he didn't like that much either) and a lot of yoghurt. As Pass says the best thing you can do is follow E's lead, I'm sure he'll let you know if he wants more milk.

PR I don't think you made a mistake with how you are handling things. You have made a stand, if you hadn't done it now then it's likely something different would have come up in the future.

Well he has an appointment at 420. Just general fucksticks, he's managed to keep down some EK fruit.

Sophiathesnowfairy · 17/07/2013 09:27

I too like fuckskates I will have to get a pair! Grin

Sophiathesnowfairy · 17/07/2013 09:27

Good luck in the big smoke pilz

Sophiathesnowfairy · 17/07/2013 09:28

It appears I have also spray mounted my work mobile phone Shock

ValiumQueen · 17/07/2013 10:21

Sophia well done on doing the pictures (((hug)))

Izzy as usual hugs for a shit night. I was up with Jacob too but only for 1.5 hours. He drained a 9oz bottle so I think it was growth spurt rather than anything else but as usual he would not lie flat. Slept on couch again with him in his chair.

ValiumQueen · 17/07/2013 10:23

I too want some fuck skates. Roller, not ice.

My tongue is still fucking sore.

Izzy does J drink from a cup?

ValiumQueen · 17/07/2013 10:26

Have a good day Pikz x

Jacob gets through a tin every 2-3 days and I have it on repeat and the chemist sorts it. Except they forgot to order it last week. We have two tins left. I usually have a stock of at least 4. My GP is ok about prescribing but never more than 4. Holiday request is a good idea.

I should have said I'd not be able to make it to the meet. I had a baby group at the Edinburgh ikea in the morning, then vet in the afternoon. I do want to meet you guys, and I'm sorry I'm so bad at keeping up with the thread. T hates being at home so we have to get out and about most days. His sleep also went absolutely awful on Sunday night, he was waking up every 10 minutes for all his daytime naps and getting a max 30 mins before getting too angry to resettle. Wouldn't go down at night, again only doing 10 minute sleeps until he came into bed with me - when he managed hourly. Thankfully things have been improving since then, and last night was a miracle night, sleeping from 11:30-3:30, resettling himself at 4:30, then not waking me again till 6:30!

Izzy, I hope you get a miracle night soon.

Evil, does your LO have reflux too? He could be breathing in his reflux into his lungs causing the persistent cough. It's unlikely if he's not refluxy though. I hope the doctors take you seriously this time and give the poor wee soul something.

PetiteRaleuse · 17/07/2013 10:46

I wish I knew how to ice skate. I guess you'd need to learn before progressing to fuckskating.

Sophiathesnowfairy · 17/07/2013 11:17

No pr fuckskating is for everyone. But only on a Wednesday!

Sophiathesnowfairy · 17/07/2013 11:19

vq your poor old tongue. Can you eat? I must admit my insides went all wobbly when I read the cover had come off it. emoticon

Are there any handy quichester house moving checklists hanging around?

ValiumQueen · 17/07/2013 12:00

Eating is tricky and painful, but I am determined Grin it has not shed since thankfully as that was gross. It has bled a couple of times though.

fruitpastilles · 17/07/2013 12:38

I love ice skating, taking my 8 yr old cousin when she breaks up, haven't been for years. I prefer the idea of fuckskates though Smile

Qq - S didn't want any puree for lunch, not that I blame her in this heat, so she has on her tray cucumber, cherry tomatoes quartered, grapes cut in half and a bit of ham, is that enough?

vq I had a jubbly yesterday and thought of you and your poor tongue.

BigPigLittlePig · 17/07/2013 12:49

Thank god it's sweary Wednesday. Because of work, and the fact our pharmacy is open 9-5 only, and not at weekends, I went in to collect the Nutramigen today. We have a third of a tin left at home (perhaps a days supply at most). Imagine my face when the bastarding (but nice) pharmacist told me there is a "supply issue" and they are unable to cunting well get the knobbing formula. Had visions of having to stake out A&E, a la det but thank fuck another pharmacy can get it for tomorrow. Although not sure how I will collect it.

On the up side, it is for 5 tins Grin

ChasingDaisy · 17/07/2013 13:08

fruit that sounds enough to me. Given what O eats on a daily basis it sounds like a banquet in comparison.

fruitpastilles · 17/07/2013 13:11

chasing she didn't eat that much of it, more played with it, although she sucked the life out of the ham till it had disintegrated haha

ChasingDaisy · 17/07/2013 13:23

O likes to suck meat too! Going to try him with pork chop tonight with some sweet potato chips and cabbage. He just will not take anything from a spoon at the moment so it is a struggle to think of decent meals.

ValiumQueen · 17/07/2013 13:37

I am quite partial to sucking on meat too. When my mouth is not sore anyway.
