I think away from home feeds always tend to be less frequent and shorter than in home feeds which makes it more manageable without stuffing...

Day 3 of our new bedtime routine... Feed downstairs and then upstairs to bed... We've come so far in the last 6 months!

If anyone fancies a trek out in the direction of Gatwick we'll be there at the end of May/start of June

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

Seth has goodnight milk, its the only formula he has now, the rest of his bottles are just cows milk. We ran out of formula a couple of weeks before his birthday and just gave him a bottle of cows to tide him over til we got to the shop, he nomnomnom'd his way through it and flatly refused to take normal formula after that, I had to give the box away! I like to give him the goodnight milk though, as its a different taste from cows so another way of distinguishing bedtime bottles from other ones, and its got the nutrition of formula in it, although he has a good diet I do worry that he might not get all he needs. I dont care if he doesnt need it any more, its my choice after all!

We didnt have sausages, but perhaps should have, as I did a grilled cajun chicken salad with potato skins, and OH deemed the chicken too succulent and wouldnt eat it??!! I however thought it was perfect, so he went hungry and will no doubt be eating crap later!

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!!!
