[NattyEcoWarriorPrincess]

thought it was fitting after the last few weeks of bugs and bad news

no chance for me annobal we are finished with babies in this house
and I have stopped bf ds2 he was down to just 1/2 feeds in the night as I had swapped him to cow's milk but have not fed him the last 3 nights have offered him milk in a cup which he slurps well
now I have to wean him off any sort of drink at night and then maybe I might get a whole night's sleep again

We're on school hols at the moment - must admit it is lovely not to have to be anywhere and DS1 doesn't actually start school til October...

Hi annobal, happy B'day to DS.

I went upstaits to cleans DS1s room, and have just put up lots of posters of David Tennant instead

back to it!

Hi andiem.

Had my moments of feeling rough but its mainly the tiredness......speaking of which DD has been in bed since 9.30am (after getting up at 7.30am).....bout time she got up and dressed I think!!!

I think I might actually be allergic to housework . I have been feeling a bit queasy all morning and now that I've started to lay into the kitchen proper, I feel like I'm gonna chuck any minute...

or else I've got whatever DD has as she is a bit poorly with a very productive and sore bottom.

annobal...23 weeks today. All well now that breathlessness is sorted. I don't get to bed early enough though (I seem to get a second wind around 10pm) so I am generally knackered from lack of sleep in the day.

Am almost where you are Andie - I'm still feeding DS3 evenings and mornings but getting ready to drop that too. I need to find a milky drink as cows milk doesn't agree with him - might try sheeps... Any suggestions?

Daisy, that's not allergic - I generally come out in hives at the mere mention...What you have sounds like a housework virus - cup of tea and a biscuit and you'll be fine

FOr some reason i thought you were further than that. How is is going? Apart from the hw virus that is...

Thanks Ria

David Tennant? Really?

ria you can gaze lovingly at them as you hoover

do you get thinks like lacto-free in OZ......it's dairy milk that almost all of the lactose has been removed from.

Or what about rice type milk drink or soya milk? might need calcium supplements with those though

goats milk or could you try one of those soya or rice milks
ds2 is so funny he wakes up cries goes slurp slurp slurp 3 times and then passes out again I wish he wouldn't though

x post with daisy

housework virus...i like that

I lurve David Tennant, especially when he talks in his lovely Scottish voice (not his could be from anywhere Dr Who one)

andie have you tried just leaving him? or does he just keep crying?

Thanks guys - he's been having rice milk since I weaned him which has the same amount of calcium as milk but didn't know if this was ok as a staple drink??

daisy he goes ballistic and then we end up being up for much longer as he will not be comforted with anything and takes him another 30-45mins to settle
so at the moment the slurping is the lesser of 2 evils
next week I am going to swap the cow's milk for water

I think the fat content might be a consideration as well annobal . Do you have HVs in Oz? or can you ask the doc?

not sure annobal I think it is the calcium that is most important and then the fat and protein

It is the fat content that I worry about as it - he's not underweight but doesn't have a lot to lose...Will check with the dr.

DH has gone for a walk and there is nothing on tv. bored.

found thiss if it helps.

Thanks Daisy .

have you tried whispers follow on formula although that is obviously cow's milk based

I've killed the thread with my talk of follow on formula

LOL andie - haven't tried anything other than bm (which is fine) and full cream (which gives him a sore tummy).

Is it the middle of the night there Annobal?
