I have been to Booby Club this morning :T was lovely, Big Boobie was very, very pleased to see her toy boy again Got some good suggestions and support to stop BF.

HV this afternoon - my little chunk is 24lb 4oz :eek: which puts him between the 75th and 91st centiles. HV is not bothered but did note that a few months ago he was at the 25th so I need to keep an eye on him. We had a long chat about the amount of milk he has and about stopping BF and I feel that I have come up with a plan to move forward.


Yay for Fergie standing :T:T

:eek:Chris was 24lb somewhere between 19 and 22mths! :rotfl:

do we get to know your plan/thoughts on stopping BF then? :A

MFD - you should have the Black Country meet somewhere near Wolvehamptom station, on a Friday or a Monday. I'll be visiting my parents again sometime in the future, and could meet everyone I was planning to see Keely next time I went.

Immediately I am going to drop his daytime bottles to 3 x 6oz (currently 2 x 8oz and 1 x 6 or 7oz. To reduce his milk intake during the day to something closer to the 'norm'!! From the weekend I will replace one of his daytime bottles with a sippy cup of cows milk (but I want to discuss this with CM first to see which she would most like to change).

Once hubby is back in action (ie he can pick Benjamin up and help me with the plan!!) I am going to drop his nighttime BF. I will replace this with reading some special books 'just for bedtime' which I will read to him in my bed as part of the same cuddle up routine that we already have (so I don't have to give up MY time cuddling up with my son!!). This will probably be another week or possibly 2 before I put this into action.

From his first birthday (probably the day after so we don't have to tackle it on his birthday) I will drop the morning feed too...I need to think about the distraction tactics for this one for a while but I have 3 weeks to go.

I want to stop when he is 1. Simply because I need a date to get my head around and work towards or I will continue to feed and deep down I don't want to feed for much longer. It is not a hardship to me, I just feel that I have done my bit now!!! Benjamin will neither know nor care that it is his first birthday (to him it will just be another day with a ton of fuss!!) but it will be significant to me and I need a date to make me do something about it!!!




La la la - always the same with MFD - ask a simple question - get an essay in response :rotfl:

Kester is not breech any more :D:D:D

And he is 3/5ths engaged!:eek: But that doesn't mean too much...

and he is measuring 1 cm above weeks (fergie was always 2cm below) so I might be due a whopper :eek::D

or you might just have a kink in your back Glad he is no longer breech but were you ever scanned?

Feelie, anytime you're passing through Wolves give me a shout, I'm only a bus away from the station... It's the one we use to get to Liverpool / Coventry depending on which parents we're visiting...

Tia, have you checked the fuse box?

Oyster has an adjustable handle so can be made as tall as you like... I might measure it against the Xlr... That's really tall...
