  • Sb funny enough zoe prefers water she like juice but 9 times out of 10 she'll ask for water x

    I did start off with juice with Poppy but then put less and less in until none at all. It was all in an attempt to get her to use the flippin' Tommee Tippee cup! But Jamie took to water (and the cup) really quickly.

    Good for Zoe! :cool:

    PS: did you have any personal stuff/letters on your 'puter/desk that you would have cleared before ML? I'm sure something like that would worry me! And of course staff looking in my desk drawers and finding all my hidden snacks! :eek::rotfl:

    Oh God, yeah! They went through my snack drawer and brought it all to me in hospital :p Don't know if my personal stuff on the PC has been gone through, but any b0llocking I got for that would have been immediately wiped out by everything they'd find on my (old!) boss' PC so she wouldn't have bothered ;)

  • Spare a thought for my poor children who are only given water! Bless their cottons ;):D. I do put a bit of 'whatever is in my fridge' fresh orange if they haven't gone for a day or two though.

    LOL - Benjamin doesn't have and won't have any juice for a long time yet. He doesn't need anything more than water.

    And DSS is still not allowed coke because it make him bounce off the walls!!

    I drink a pint of NAS juice in the morning with my breakfast, that is now shared!

    Katie also likes a little bit of fizzy stuff - diet only though.

    I was most impressed at her swimming yesterday as she managed almost 1/2 a width by herself - completely submerged the entire way.

    MFD - I agree - here is one of the few places I'm can happily say I'm a toilet trained toddler feeding weirdo (TTFW) and not be stamped on for it.

    re: the drinks discussion

    Not wanting to start a debate, but is there anyone on here reluctant to give their LOs (animal-based) milk? just curious, haven't made my mind up of course but I have my reservations at the moment (disclaimer: haven't done huge amounts of research, just my own opinions at the moment)

    Ps. in case anyone is wondering Glam hasn't run off upset, her tea was ready and I imagine she's now trying to keep BIL off her spot on the sofa :)

    and has failed miserably as I am still putting Jack to bed! :p

    Oh, please don't fall out over me. I know there are people on here who are against the weaning before 6 months and I really wish now I hadn't said anything about doing it as it seems to have opened a big can of worms. I did it because I needed advice on the purees and stuff but maybe i should have got it from somewhere else.

    CSH - Thanks for your post and for looking out for me.

    MFD - We are cool as you know, I know you were just interested in why I had started.

    As for the juice (shall we call this juicegate :rotfl:) Jack will not take water, he just spits it out. He gets a bit constipated if he doesn't have water so I need to get it into him somehow - I was using the juice from the steamer but this only lasts a day. The juice was totally sugar and crap free ;) and I probably put 1 part juice to 100 parts water.

    From now on, me thinks I will post less about what I'm up to - you're probably bored of it all anyway. Unfortunately I'm one of those people who will tell you their life history if you sit still long enough!

    What with offending someone yesterday and all this - I feel like a right loon! :o

    Jack asleep for now so need to go and cook some mince (3 packs all of which are use by tomorrow but look OK). Think I'll just load the slow cooker with a batch of bolganese and then do the rest tomorrow.

    Where does the time go? :think:
