Thanks all for the thoughts & birthday wishes! We had a nice day tho it was just LO, DP & me. He went to nursery in the morning but enjoyed himself so that was good, then had present opening, jelly and custard.
We were supposed to be having a big party with all the NCT babies later but they have all changed their minds (
) so that will be it... I'll have to throw him a big party next year.
Well first day back was good if exhausting - LO was up half the night before. And LO has still not managed a full day at nursery, DP had to leave work and get him at 2pm. This is after 7 settling in sessions, MrsBug. If I had to do it again I'd do it over three weeks...
Still bf here but suspect supply won't last long now I'm back at work, esp since LO has had bottles too since he was 9 weeks. I have two long days in London next week and will miss the breakfast bf. Shame :(
No idea how we'll wean him properly onto solids now. He only had an afternoon bottle at home but now he's having a morning one too as all the other babies in the baby room do.
Oh and the nursery claimed to be supportive of BLW but its now become apparent that he's the only one who is BLW and the staff are mystified by his messy antics. They are basically spoon feeding him now and apparently he is accepting it. He feeds himself tho if the spoon is pre loaded. He does like to then chuck the spoon on the floor though!
Creepy hope Nancy is a bit better now? LO has had three D&V bugs this year. At the first sign of vomit we now stop all solids and formula for at least 12 hrs, stick to bm and Dioralyte (with a little Ribena to hide the flavour). Then the day afterwards tummy friendly foods like bananas, rice, applesauce, toast (the BRAT diet). He sleeps like a champion afterwards so don't worry about that, it's just them recovering.
Octane sorry about your job that's rotten timing :(
Epic post!!!
