Aless - both! I know she's having trouble with wind because she's tensing up and arching her back a lot, even when feeding. Through the day she seems to bring up all of the wind but on a night it seems to be that she's got loads of trapped wind so occasionally brings up tenny burps, and some puke.

Although i did wonder if the puke was because i'm faffing her about trying to get wind up, with a full belly :rotfl:

Erin has been on cows milk for the past 2/3 weeks she stopped eating and for weeks nothing but a bottle would do. the HV suggested we try cows milk and she loves it! she has also started eating a lot better since! she is a very grumoy girl today?

Morning all. I keep reading then going off to do something else instead of posting. Having a (relatively) productive morning this morning considering I feel like a zombie. Izzy still has hajor dia-wah-wah so we were up for a while in the night with it, and I ended up having to give her milk to settle - she'd not eaten much either, so must have been starving, poor baby.

Hopefuly when nap time comes I can get in on the action too

Oh - my baby isn't scared of the hoover any longer. She let me hoover her feet and laughed when I hoovered her tummy

I don't think I posted yesterday so belated happy birthdays to MFD DSS and Caz's Lewis.

MFD - how did the meal go? Did DSS enjoy himself? I love how you, OH and PW are so civilised!



We've swapped one formula feed for moo milk this week and she's either not noticed or doesn't care. I actually think she'd just eat/drink anything!


I've got a climbing baby today. She's already been up the stairs at record speed, and is standing of her chair now.

The meal was lovely! In the end the Practice-Parents-In-Law and Practice-Brother-In-Law came a long too, with a couple of Practice-Nieces! I get along with them all fine though, they love Benjamin and they have never made me feel uncomfortable (PW lives with her parents so I do see them reasonably often).

DH and PW were civilised before I came along. They went on holiday together (with all DH's family) a couple of years before hubby and I got together. They weren't a couple but they all went off to MILs villa in Florida together.

The only freaky bit was PW and I have the same glasses (although I wear contacts so didn't have mine on) and we had both bought the same card for DSS!!!! I still don't know what to say/think about those things :eek:



Do you think that babies who have been BF are used to the taste of milk changing so it doesn't phase them? BM tastes different according to what you have been eating doesn't it? Whereas formula is always the same flavour? Just a thought *insert confused smiley*


And V the mountaineer reminds me that I keep forgetting to tell CM that Benjamin has started to pull things up to the sofa so he can try and climb on top of them!!! He hasn't made it onto the sofa yet but it is only a matter of time. Hubby caught him dragging his bucket of bricks over to the sofa and trying to get his little leg up on the top :rotfl:

MFD i think your right about the milk thing as erin has never bothered about her milk changing? My nephew is on special milk for weight gain and it smells awful, my sister has lots of problems getting him to take it and erin picked up his bottle and drank it?? although at the moment if she can eat it she will lol!

hmmm I wonder if when Finn kicks his head back really far if that's him arching his back! I never even put 2 and 2 together, durrrrrrrrrr. Sometimes I hate being so new & naive at all this. (FWIW, Finn's big pukes have both happened not when I've been burping him but when he's been lying still on my back!)

I thought you got free school meals as long as you have an income below something around £15k? (i.e. if you have a low enough income for WTC then you also qualify for free school meals)

I think you need income support of JSA to get free school meals, we've never qualified anyway.

Ours are £10.80 a week and they get a choice of a hot meal, a sandwich or a jacket potato. Liv used to have them, but came out of school everyday saying she'd had a cheese sandwich and half an apple! So they're both on packed lunches now.

OH has just found out he's classed as a student, with a student card for the training and probationary period. I need to find out what that means to us. I think he's disregarded for council tax so we might get 25% off.
