GT The 6 months fucking twatting sleep regression was the worst for us, closely followed by the 12 month combo of regression/dairy challenge.
I fucking hate them. Evil bastarding regression.
Sophia I am not a fan of shoes like that, but the bright colours are nice. I'm not sure. I tend to stick to ballet flats (but supportive ones), biker boots, and flip flops in the summer 
. I think you have to go with whatever works with your style. They would look good with jeans. Not with dresses or leggings though.
YW That makes sense! Thank you for that! Yes, I guess he could get everything he wanted from a very early age, given he was moving by rolling across the room at 4.5 months!
I've been in bed this morning, as I start nights tonight, but DP said he has been doing lots of talk with him, and as a result O is now calling him diddy. I think I'm going to call DP P-diddy from now on.
Pennie and PR I think I am worried because of DS1. His speech was not good. He was never referred for anything, despite my concerns, and despite his very unclear speech, and delay in talking. He was over 2 for his first non babbling word. He wasn't much of a babbler either. I feel like this was my fault, as I didn't know what I should be doing. I don't want to make the same mistake twice. Even at 12, I believe DS's speech isn't at the level of his peers. He gets things confused, his sounds don't always come out right, and his talking is a bit 'babyish' in how he says things.
So, dairy challenge. Today is the day. Dinner is roast root veg, with mash and roast chicken (for O anyway!). I am thinking of a smidge of butter in his mash. I'm flailing a bit with this, as I feel we fucked it up last time. He reacted about a week after dairy was introduced. There was no reaction before that point.
So every 3rd day we are going to give some dairy. I just don't know what to start with? Should I start with something that contains traces - I'm not sure we have anything in that does!
Help!
