For those of you worried about over-feeding, I think S eats quite a lot, and he's very much following the same 50th centile, so its just what he needs. This is what a typical day looks like:
6am - 6-8oz formula
6.30am - whole weetabix, bit of toast gummed
10am - 5-7oz formula
12noon - lunch something like half a bagel and spag hoops or cheese omlette or jacket pot and beans or whatever DD is eating. He'll eat loads if he is hungry and likes it, sometimes eats next to nothing. Always eats all of any fruit (3 ice cubes)/yoghurt (petit filous type) offered.
3pm - 5-7oz formula (but increasingly only around 3oz, think we are on the cusp of dropping this one).
5pm - mushed food like some kind of casserole. Ranges between nothing and all offered, which is, I'd say, the equivalent of a weetabix with milk sized portion. Again, always demolishes fruit or yoghurt if offered for pudding. Usually then sits in high chair while we eat, usually given some of our food eg pasta spirals and bolognaise sauce to keep him occupied. He'll often have a good go at this too.
6.30pm - 5-7oz formula.
pass and BP, yes, manky ingrowing toenail. After det said that her DP having it sorted had made a massive improvement, I went to GP who removed part of the nail. It made a difference for all of about 2 weeks when the re-growth did the same thing. I've also hacked about with it in an attempt to relieve the pressure which has of course failed and just made it infected and much worse, again I know I need to go and see them but am concerned there is no quick solution - the anaesthetic didnt work properly so she could only do as much as my pain threshold could take, which was most definitely not the whole nail, and I dont have the time to make and attend an appointment. Lame I know. It does need sorting, the sight of me bathing toe in dettol solution gives DH serious rage.
chasing have a break, a shower maybe, and don't have too many expectations for today.
PP same for you - sounds like a rubbish night.
izzy, if you are lurking - hope sleep is improving.
pennie me too - sounds interesting, but cant imagine doing it.
YW I think I have a similar age-gap to kirrin. Very hard work to start off with, but now we're 9 months in, it's getting easier and easier, and so nice that they really interact and will be chums and partners in crime like PR thinks her girls will be. And for me, 2 years old has been amazing, not terrible.
