    tried to give K his anti-biotic medicine before and as i thought most of it got spat out.
    can i put it in a little formula or water and give it through his bottle??
    Having this problem too Jillie. Calpol and Nurofen go down fine, but anti-biotics being spat back. I lie Alex down, support his neck and squirt some down the back of his throat. Results in lots of gagging and choking and bad mummy moment :eek:, but most of it seems to be going down and it stops him from spitting it back out.

    Edit: Oh much more sensible answer provided by elle. Will retreat to bad mummy corner by myself

    I squirt in to the side of Ellis' mouth, he doesnt seem to be able to push it out with his tongue as easily, the bits the do dribble out i wipe of with my finger and he will quite happily suck it off there!

    Took Ellis on his first train ride today, Jackson has been learning about Chinese New Year in nursery so we took him to China Town and to Yum Yums for tea, both are now fast asleep after their busy day!

    If anyone is after an electric breast pump my local boots had Avent ones on clearance today for £35 reduced from £90, they also had manual ones for £10 and packs of avent bottles 6 for £10. they had loads on a big display so may be in other stores too.

    3, Fritha, Glam, Mel and I went to a sling meet this afternoon.
    Mel has a cute dinky bump so is obviously having an dainty lil girlie, she's also prettier in the flesh :)

    Is E on the weights graph? shame we only go up to 1yr it would be good to see how he's gone on.

    Have you tried ancestry website? I've seen it advertised but not used it.


    Ahh slingmeet :)
    E is on the graph yes!
    And I've seen the ancestry site ads, it's another pay-to-use though so will see how much I can get out of this one first.

    bruno how old is E for some reason i thought he was the same age as Charlie?

    Hi Caz :) he is 18 months, a bit younger than Charlie I think?

    Nicki, sounds very similar to what we went through, once he was happier and less pain, he started eating better (and throwing up less) and the rest is history! Fingers crossed for you!

    do the wheels not unclip which would make it easier for you to get it in/?

    Yeah they do actually. Literally cli[ off/on, but I really want to be able to just fold it and whack it in the car...I am not one for faffing about, which is why we were put of the iCandy peach (among other things)

    I need to get car hunting now, once I find the type of car that is suitable I can sell ours and keep a look out for a decent price on the type we want:)

    Hiya susan, nice to see you :)

    I have 7 sixpences that my grannie used to put in the christmas pudding and a royal commemorative coin.

    Would these be of any interest to you?

    sorry I'm being a bit quiet on here. On the recipe thread I can just talk about sweetcorn so it doesn't really matter that I feel really pants ATM about work:(. But I've been keeping a bit schtum on here cos I've told you all about it ad nauseum :rotfl:.

    Anyhow, I feel quite shaky, but am still reading and thinking of you all
