    Glam (if she reads back this far when she appears), how come you're trying to develop a sleeping/napping routine at the same time as weaning? Is it important? (where's the confused smilie when you need it) I still let Andrew play when he wants to, and sleep when he wants to. It's only overnight that I've established any routine (milk at 7pm then bed).

    here I am & yes I do read back :)

    J has always slept for an hour or two in the morning & afternoon, it's generally about 30mins after a bottle so he dictates the routine not me.
    He always wants a bottle every 3hrs from when he wakes, I figured if I woke him the same time everyday we would have our routine.

    today he woke at 7.30am so have started new feeding routine today
    bottle on waking
    8am breakfast
    10.30am - bottle then nap
    12.30pm - lunch gave him broccolli, he screamed the house down halfway thru but wouldnt swallow it or spit it out! I had to scoop it out his mouth!
    2pm bottle then nap (still asleep now)

    will have bottle & tea @ 5pm then bedtime bottle at 7.30pm.

    All I need to do is get my ariss out of bed at 7.30am every morning now!
    Aw, cute!

    We don't seem to create many dishes...Gaz has breakfast at work so no mess from him, I use the same mug/glass all day with just a rinse between drinks, L doesn't create much mess, I dont put in pans and oven trays - I wash thes =e by hand after I've done the bottles, so there is only really tea time plates etc. I forgot to add it is only a slimline one too!

    I've got a slimline one too and I always wash pots and pans after I've done J's bottles! It used to go on every other day but with BIL living here it goes on everday now.

    Hi all..

    Just a quickie update.. That email I sent to Rhys' dietitian on Tuesday night worked. I've just checked my answerphone and his kidney specialist left a msg for me at 9am on Wednesday saying we can stop Rhys weekly jab! Woohoo! :j Basically because his kidneys are working even better yet again so he doesn't need the extra help anymore :D Now we've got one long-term (life long?) med, the special milk and three other short-term meds, down from twelve... :D

    Hope everyone has a good weekend xx

    That is great news elle! Hope you have a lovely weekend too!

    Weezl - how awful for you. I am surprised the council haven't done anything before now - I had to contact the NP people when I lived there but fortunately our neighbours moved!

    DKAM - Glad things are going well & :T for Ryry and Aston!

    As J was up early we went shopping while OH had a lie-in, J was up a lot in the night so quite tired today. Really hoping it is a tooth after all this grumpiness!

    Where does the time go? :think:
