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

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

I'll catch up now....

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

I've no power to any socket downstairs, do I win?

I'm using an extension and have sky, tv, phone, thingy for internet and laptop plugged in. It will no doubt blow soon so tv and sky will be switched off soon

Oh no Tia, what happened?

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...

I love your essays mfd :Doff to mum's now :wave:

The whole house needs rewiring and we need a new fuse box. DH doesn't beleive me but one plug started fizzing sparks ages ago, so one down. Today a fuse went but we don't have any fuses and I can't get the thing out! Plus when I tried the box sparked at me! So I turned it off (duhhhhh) and then broke a nail and scratched a finger trying to prise it out. DH will do it tomorrow, he's well insured.

And also moaning about how much it will cost to rewire. We only need a sparky to do fuse box, FIL is a sparky (but works on street lighting so refuses to do the fuse box cos he's never done a modern one) so anyway, FIL can tell DH how to do sockets. And it aint as if we're spoiling our prettily decorated house ripping out plugs, the house a shambles anyway. But I'd rather a non sparking shambles!

Trouble is Tia, if you sell and the surveyor checks the electrics for more recent works, you have to produce a completion certificate, they changed the law couple of years ago!
