Thanks Krystal what time is the helpline open til? I just called it and it said it was putting me through to someone but then i got no answer.

Been trying to feed her for the last hour or so and she's pulling off quite often as if she's not really fussed, but she's def getting milk out and isn't frustrated.

I just want her to have a feed and then sleep for longer than 20 mins! She does sometimes but that's when my DS is up for the day so i need to be up with him rather than catching up on sleep after cluster feeding all night .

I'm grumpy tired today, and was eyeing up the formula today in Boots, til i saw the price :eek:

ooo thanks for the wipes tips, Krystal & Susan. I have a Lakeland order I've been waiting on for eons that includes the perfect sized lock & lock, so hopefully can sort that out soon.

forgot to say with that nappy fold, I actually fold the middle bit 4 times to make it more slimline...it makes a fatter wadge in the middle, but it's skinnier so he's not as bow-legged IYSWIM? but maybe it's counter intuitive? I'll keep experimenting! We're still using disposables at night just until everyone gets the hang of terries.

I recommend baby led weaning. Weaning was pretty much a non event in our household because that's what we did. What I did was cook and freeze a load of sticks of veg (e.g. carrot, swede, parsnip) and then if we were having something which was unsuitable or didn't contain big lumps we could give to Alice, we would just microwave a stick or two of veg. I also used to sometimes give her a stick of bread soaked in what we were having (e.g. if it was spaghetti bolognaise) but I make sourdough bread which is more dense and therefore doesn't go all soggy and fall apart. We kept a food diary for the first few months so if you wanted I could give you a more detailed list of what sort of things we did.
