Where do you mean by direction of Gatwick? Thats only about an hour from me

We're staying in Forest Row, which is apparently a village near Gatwick Airport. But if a meet were to be interesting we could take the babies to the Hundred Acre Wood

always, i was thinking/hoping since we're all fairly concentrated in the south we could avoid trekking central. Am deffo open to ideas or suggestions of the area that's easiest for us all to get there!

When did you start putting him in a routine? and what is his bedtime routine? if he goes to bed now how many times does he wake for feed? and does he go straight back to sleep?

We started his routine about 4 or 5 weeks I think. Would have started sooner but was away in Scotland and just didn't quite get around to it but it goes like this:

7pm upstairs get bath ready then 7.05ish bath time
7.15 feed on the sofa in his room with lights off and just lamp on
7.50ish or whenever he finishes feeding, wind him then into bed still awake, kiss goodnight then lamp off and leave the room
10 minutes after that he's sleeping

He's currently waking between 12 and 1 ish, then about 3-4ish. He doesn't sem to have much at the last feed (so hoping he might drop it soon) and then he wakes for the day anywhere between 5.30am and 7am although I leave it as close to 7am as I can before getting him up. Today he was still happy in his cot at 7 but I got him up to feed him anyway as I want him to get used to feeding at 7. Even if I get up with him at 6 I still wait til 7 to feed him.

Sorry for long post but hope that helps!!!

Get ye to a Booby Club so you can practice public feeding in a friendly environment.

You soon get used to it.

good night milk has either rice or cereal in it, suitable from 6mths according to the pack, can only be used for 1 bottle a day. It basically just the same as the old days when you put porridge/rusk in the bottle

Yay - I am a chav :T:T

csh - We use the Hipp Organic Goodnight Milk, Benjamin loves it - it is lovely and thick like a yoghurt drink. The C&G one is only slightly thicker than normal milk IMHO (and didn't seem to do anything for Benjamin's sleeping).


pinkpig - Yay - sounds like you had a good day. Hope tomorrow goes well too.



LOL - Benjamin was doing loads of walking this evening!! I knew if I moaned about him not being bothered on here he would change his ways (I am sure he reads and then does the opposite!).

Can anyone recommend a cup/beaker with a straw?

Forgot I multiquoted this earlier! I'm not too keen on the cups with the straws that go down inside the cup... I don't think the dishwasher cleans them as well as I would like... I did buy Aimee some thermos cups from Wilko, the straw kind of flips up from the top of the cup and she tips it to drink from it the way she would from any other sippy cup... I'll try and find a pic...

Edit: Here you go: http://www.lunchboxesetc.co.uk/shopexd.asp?id=27 (Aimee can drink from a proper cup obviously... But these are great for in her lunch box...)

It's OK, I thought he was trying to settle her so I went out to go and see if he wanted me to take over... He was just sitting on the top of the stairs listening to her and she literally settled herself in about 2mins! Phew!!!

She's always been pretty good at going down in the cot... Aimee used to wail until she was sick... I could never leave her the way I can with Caitlyn.... Just another way that every baby is different!!!
