Still need to save up for it though :rolleyes: I need to figure out how long i've got to have the money - when did your babies move into cots? Prob won't be in sale by then but i'm sure i'll find a similar one for that price

She has a basket and a crib atm.

Bargain! K will be going into cot when he outgrows crib hopefully well over 6 mths as crib is large. Tell x to get his hand in his pocket when hes washed the shi*e off of course!

Beenie I like it, we moved Ben from crib to cot at about 12 weeks found that his wee arms were getting stuck out the bars is a wriggler though. I was wanting one of they sleigh cots but it would have took up the whole room.

Well we have the offical medical diagnose of "Happy Chucker" lol to try Gaviscon and if no difference to go back to try something else. Hope it works just to give the machine a break for day.

All those wasted years of medical training......... lol

Seth has about 4oz when we first get up, 3-4oz when we put him down for his morning nap, flatly refuses to eat breakfast til after his morning nap by screwing his face and mouth up and banging his head on the back of the high chair :rotfl:
Then 3-4oz before his afternoon nap, and 4-5oz at bedtime.
He is happy to eat til he pops, but milk is boring now :rolleyes:

I gave him weetabix for the first time this morning as a change from ready brek, he loved it! I only gave him one bisk though and it seemed a bit small compared to his usual porridge serving, but "they" recommend a adults serving is two, so I cant give him two? Can I?! Gutbag child!
Then again, two weetabix would fill me for all of half an hour, I usually have three!

Is mine the only baby clinic that weighs them with clothes?
We do nudey weighing at checkups with the doc but weekly weighings are done with clothes. I always dress K in the same stuff: vest, socks and babygrow so I get a good indication of weight.

How much ready brek do you give? We've been doing 2 heaped dessert spoons (instead of 5 on box) and she struggles with that, with weetabix, she'll have about 1/2 of 1! Isn't it funny how much little boys and girls seem to differ in their appetites? Must grow out of it though as I eat like a horse all the time!

Nope, they never said anything about my weight all pregnancy. I think my BMI was 17.2 at my booking appointment when I filled in my notes

I guess it must depend on trust policy - ours do it if you have a BMI of 18 or less but they round your BMI down to the nearest whole number so mine was really 18.1. It did amuse me though that while they were doing growth scans to make sure Alice wasn't too small because of me being underweight, they were also doing glucose tolerance tests and telling me to have a low sugar diet to ensure she wasn't too big.
