Evening all, what've I missed? Starting where I left off as always :)
Det I might try a bit of ham then, wouldn't give it often cos of salt content - what kind of small are we talking? You know how I worry and need everything literally spelling out for me 
hope you enjoyed the chocolates pass and the time catching up with work related things.
fatima I can imagine it being a bit tricky, but it sounds like she's getting used to not bf'ing in the day doesn't it.
That's it now det you won't shut him up now he's started!
vq glad you're enjoying the peace and quiet :)
woohoo stunt that's great :) I am not looking forward to e standing after him twatting his head earlier the one time he's pulled himself up!
det I'd stick with the two naps I think - well i'd have to for e because he'd full on meltdown at even the thought of just one I reckon! I think it's probably developmental or at least I hope it is cos E is fighting naps atm! I'd also see if they work out their own ways to get him to sleep - perhaps tell them that you resort to the pram if he won't go off, maybe? as a kind of failsafe?
nah sophia that sounds fairynuff to me!
i've only tried e with crumpets once, he seemed confused and didn't eat any. I have some, maybe he could try some for breakfast tomorrow. I am a bit less bothered about spooning something into him at breakfast cos he doesn't really eat much anyway. He will eat ek baby brekkie pouches, or organix fruit pots or yoghurts. Do I go with this and try weetabix etc every few days or do I keep giving him 'proper' breakfast in the hope he gives up wanting yoghurts/ek brekkie etc?
e loved breadsticks when he had them, but i've never let him actually eat one yet. He's not had them for ages though tbf. when he did i just let him suck the hummus off them and took them off him if they broke I had visions of one getting perfectly lodged in his throat.
hey katie! Sleepwise we've always had it pretty damn good here but most recently he has learned to move and is struggling to self settle and keeps waking early in the morning. I am crossing everyfuckingthing that he goes back to his 12 hourly night stints and lovely 'pop him down and walk away' naps!
ooh lookit you all with your exciting lives and suspense!!!! 
aw bplp I bet it doesn't get any easier losing patients :( hugs
