AF to be fair to the HV it will probably really help her to help you if she can see how you have the bedroom set up etc. My HV said that they are able to spend a lot more time with you if they home visit whereas in clinic they are under time pressure.

i know, i know

last night, she went to sleep late (9pm ish, which was a knock on effect from her getting up that 45mins later as she didn't have a morning nap, napped early afternoon and then flaked around 5pmish depsite everything being done to keep her awake).

the problem is though, during the night, she still had two 7oz bottles. Maddness I know. She ate quite well during the day (for her). I know every well she is using the bottle as a comfort and the HV that is coming around says giving it to her is like a reward for waking up. So i need to break that (which is part of the sleeping plan).

Nightmare at work today. Back to do doing a job that someone should have done themselves but becuase they are too lazy, it's come to me :mad:

Keely, maybe he's ill because of the tooth? The boys always got the squits when cutting a tooth, was how I knew to look for one.

We've all since had really bad sickness, all three of us. So think it's a bug or food poisoning this time

I now have broken glasses, i passed out from being so dehydrated after being sick all night on sunday and landed on my glasses and bent them

Hope everyone else is feeling better then i am!

How many bottles does she have during the day AF?


Benjamin is taking 2 x 240ml bottles for his CM, one in the morning and one in the afternoon and he practically drains them. At the VERY best we can get him to drink 180ml at home, most of the time it is closer to 120ml :rolleyes:
He also sleeps for ages with CM! He slept for 1 hour 15 mins yesterday morning and 1 hour 45 mins yesterday afternoon! I am lucky if I can get him to do 45 mins for each nap!!!



((HUGS)) Keely - I keep dyralyte in the house for when one of us is poorly, dehydration is evil xx

Bruno - Savvy used to recommend a toddler book...does anybody know what it was or where Savvy can be found these days?

I don't know about savvy but I liked the guy who writes secrets of happy children, Steve Biddulph, all his books are fab and really helped me when I was Toddler taming (also heard good things about Toddler Taming, but havent read myself). I think its Steve Biddulph who wrote the one about Raising Boys, which might give Bruno an excuse to buy it as opposed to an outright Help book.

She is having two bottles of 200ml during the day and another this size after her bath (which she usually falls asleep one).

Guidelines (for what of a better word) on the formula box and all other material says they should be having 3 x 200ml at this stage. She is doing this, but then going on to have more during the night.

I was trying to keep her to just the 2 x 200ml bottles during the day so that she has an appetite for food, as she was still so keen on milk.

Maybe i am getting that wrong too?

Hello all

OT went well this morning, we are getting a triangle seat and a bath seat and I have been told to feed Dylan wotsits !!!
Well, not quite, but she said as its easy melted to help him associate putting things in his mouth with food, its an easy one to start him on and there is less fear of choking. So we are to start that and we are also getting a referral to the speech therapist because he has so little interest in food to get some ideas on what might help. To be honest, I would rather let him get on with it in his own time, but apparently at 7 months he should be eating better than he is. Oh well, just one more appt to add to the list !!

Hope you are all well, havent had time to catch up
((hugs)) to all
