December 2012: The one were they are stubborn Monkeys

[halestone]

New thread for us.

WL she is coming up to 8.5 months. My worry is mainly that she needs to drink something

Stacks DD doesn't usually feed at night anymore she had an awful cold a few weeks back and she wasn't really interested in feeding just before then and I realised she settled back down easily enough without a feed. So she feeds four times through the day (around 7am, 11am, 3pm and bedtime) and that's it.

She doesn't sleep through. She sleeps well but wakes a couple of times a night.

I've just reached my limit I think. I'll preserve with tea and water and a bit of milk and see if I can swap her over. But I suppose if she doesn't want formula at all then I just won't give her any??

nutella dd2 was not interested in milk at all, from any source after I stopped bfing her at about 9 months. As long as she's getting milk products in her diet there's no need to worry. Will she drink water?

WL thank you! I posted on here because I really appreciate everyone's advice, help and experience so it's good to hear about DD2.

She isn't terribly interested in any drinks. She will drink a little bit of water from a small cup but anything from a sippy cup or bottle gets a chew and no drinking. DS was the same at this age - he only drank Bmilk really. I'll offer her water more often and give her a bit more yoghurt I'm sure she's healthy after all she produces plenty of wee and she is giant I've just got a bee in my bonnet about BF I think.

Nutella sorry your having abit of a rubbish time at the minute. My only advice to any woman about BF is do what is best for you.

Pretty awful afternoon here - dd2 fell off her scooter, banged her head and had a fit. Afternoon in a&e and obs on paeds ward. Thankfully she's fine and they don't think it was due to hitting her head but a reflexic anoxic seizure due to the shock stimulus. She was such a star and super brave.

WL Oh no that sounds awful and very worrying. I hope Dd2 gets better soon. I also hope your ok heres some to get over the shock.

Thanks hales. It was pretty horrid. Luckily we were in our road but awful that I ran in with dd2 then had to put her down and run back for T. Dd1 kept asking 'what was coming out of her mouth' and 'what if...' I had to wait for mil to arrive before I could head to the hospital. Luckily our NHS is amazing.

WL how frightening for you all! I know when I used to fit, the first time my parents were petrified, and it really effected my sisters (they were older than your dd1 though).

Hope she isn't feeling too awful, did you bite her tongue?

Did SHE bite her tongue, obviously you didn't

wl

Sorry Spotty, that made me laugh.

Hope you're all ok WL. Is she off school, or going in to tell the tale?

Haha spotty! No she didn't. Merrily went into school this morning, keen to show and tell her hospital id bracelet but I've just been to collect following a call from the school that she was sleepy. She's fine now but I guess the school don't want to take any chances.

Spotty

WL, i'm glad shes feeling better today and that the school rang you. Its good to know there sensible.

Oh poor DD2 WL, hope you've coddled her this afternoon. Glad she's okay.

She's been absolutely fine. Singing at the top of her voice with the sole intention of annoying dd1!

I meant they're not there before

H wanted to go round to my Dsis before. So my Sis took her and me and Dp went for a quick meal at the local pub. It was so lovely and unexpected

what is it about toddler boys and Thomas the fucking tank engine?!?!!

Hahaha Delad, that post has made me chuckle. I can sense an intense dislike of Thomas The Tank Engine from you.

I can see the attraction. I don't understand the overriding obsession. He hasn't watched anything else for 3whole days?!?!

Sorry Delad I'm not sure they are always gender specific, DS lovesSophia the first when it . When I get

Thanks for your help with my last post DD

When I get really fed up of a programme I try and find something totally new for DS. It works as long as I pick something that I know will interest him. (Like Bob the builder or fireman Sam )

I feel your pain delad. We have a very strict limit on the dreaded 'oo tain' here or I'll lose my marbles utterly.
I said earlier O has taken to breastfeeding his bear. And today a rubber duck, who was then shushed gently and put to bed..

J doesn't really like Thomas. The ones he likes are mostly okay but I cannot stand paw patrol (soppy bullshit) and blaze (worst.programme.ever)!

haha FrazzleD Heidi loves Blaze and Wallykazam. TBH i love Bob Goblin on Wallykazam

Nooow invaders, nooow Dragons, noooow trolls! Ha I love his brummie accent.

I don't like anything that's all "I love you, you love me, let's be lovely people and help and love everyone" Waaaay too soppy for an old cynic like me
