I went out! I went to the clinic, and I went for coffee afterwards!

All went well, I survived, even had a nice time. Toby was brilliant. Had to get him weighed twice, as they thought it might have been written down wrongly. He has gone from the 50th Centile at 8 weeks, to the 98th Centile at 16 weeks!

ETA - he is now 18lb and 12oz!

Well done glad you had a fabby time and Toby is fairly putting on the weight with your gold top!!

I thought babies had to have milk so it they weren't having breastmilk they'd have formula, the follow-on type until one year.. Is that wrong? I know it's been said that follow-on milks are a marketing ploy, but don't 6-12mth olds have to have milk of some description??

El stopped BF around 9 months and refused FF and cows (I know it's meant to be a year b4 they get this) but HV said not to stress as long as she was eating and drinking water/juice well.
And I think it's bad packing for going away, I can't start to imagine the extras you have to take.

MIL has taken EVERYTHING home to iron over the next few days :eek:

Which unfortunately meant that poor Benjamin had no clean sleepsuits to go to bed in so he is squeezed into a 3-6m one

:rotfl: That's very sweet of her. I think my MIL ironed some of OH's clothes when we were visiting them one time but only because OH had never told me the things needed ironing before we went. (I only iron things that need it and I leave it up to him to let me know if he wants anything done.)

Oh, something else..

I was telling my mum we were talking about when to stop breastfeeding. She said she stopped at six months, so I asked her what we drank between then and having cows milk at one year old and she thinks it was just water and orange squash!! (this was 23-25 years ago)

I was wondering that too recently actually as my mum stopped breastfeeding me at 6 months too. I presume I was just given cows milk but I've never asked. (I know I was drinking from a cup by then 'cause it's in my baby book.) I know I never had formula as my mum said she tried one time when she had to go to hospital and I wouldn't take it.

I thought they'd have had formula., unless we used to be allowed cows milk earlier in ye olden days?

Mum didn't f/b me, cos it wasn't the done thing in the (early) 70's so formula must have been available.

My DS and DD2 are fast asleep, DD1 is having a sleepover at Mums and OH is working. I've got the tv remote all to myself and i'm bored already! :rolleyes:

My dad was FF in 1956 it's been around a looong time.
Elle Chris didn't have follow on formula we just kept on with the stuff we'd used for the previous months

I've always wondered how long my Mum BF for. I think she stopped when we started walking, but I'm not sure - she mentioned how that is a good time, they've gained their independence and want to be off doing things, and is a natural and easy time to give up. Then again, my Dad asked me if I'd be giving up when Toby gets teeth, which I wouldn't of thought he'd have asked if she fed me when I had teeth. I don't like to ask these things!

OH was completely formula fed in the 70's. His Mum tried BF'ing but couldn't. I didn't ask why. Then again, they don't know how I feed. When I was giving bottles, I hid it, and even now I feed in hiding and don't mention how I feed!

What kinda dog you got [/QUOTE]

he's a Heinz 57 dog! No really he is a tri colour cross terrier, so he looks a cross between a jack Russell and a collie. He's
black, white and tan a big softie. Daniel is mesmerised by him. I can't post photos from my iPhone so when I am next on the pc I'll get a piccy for you.
