We had cereal. I feel sick but I think thats because I've not been eating properly, had crisps and cookies for breakfast/lunch. Plus tiredness.

Gave up cleaning, impossible with the boys they just undo everything, so will have to do it when they go to bed and they will be going at 7pm. Sooo tired now.

Glam, is OH behaving?

Yeah - he was moaning about J being awake n crying

Good news for us today from the docs. Edward has put on loads more weight over the last 3 weeks, and has moved from just under the 9th centile to just over the 25th centile in the last 6 weeks! So it looks likely that he's not going to need surgery which is a big relief.

Had a lovely day today otherwise. Took the kids to London zoo, which was lovely in the nice warm summery weather. They specially enjoyed watching the penguins being fed. Hope everyone else has had a lovely day too.

Great news! :T

We'll be the ones with the alcohol gel scrubbing everything :cool:

Nicki, great news about Edward! :j Meant to ask, was it to do with his stomach sphincter? My friends little boy had a problem where it had no muscle tone to stay closed but it tightened up on it's own by about 6 months or so, and luckily he managed to escape surgery too.

Boys in bed, Amber is juts going. She has had about a quarter of a 7month jar and a fruit pot and 2-3oz milk. She looks done now. But has been sitting up today and it at the moment sitting next to me watching tv and babbling.

Elle - Fish Pie

I poach the fish in full fat milk and some dried herbs for about 8 minutes, while thats on I nuke a medium sized potato (cut into 4) in the micro then mash it up with some cooked veg (usually brocolli, cauli & carrot).
If you make sure there's enough milk in it then it mashs up quite well.

He loved it and ate lots - then had a yoghurt, an 6oz bottle of HiPP Organic and is in bed :T

He won't stay there but hey!

The car spaces are available, it's just the foot passengers causing the problems

Theoretically, a person willing to rent a car and book it on loads of back-and-forth ferries, then take paying passengers point to point could make a fortune... :money:

Why, are you in the market for some food poisoning?! Are you paying us a visit?

Caz - thanks for the tip about the Loola harness. Ours is ok at the moment but with the cosytoes on it's way too tight and she's only little! Will e-mail them.

Glad most of the ill children seem to be improving.

They seem to think so. He hasn't had the endoscopy which would confirm it, because if they found something, then they'd want to fix it there and then, and if he can do without surgery then obviously we (and his current doc) would prefer that. Tbh I can't really get my head round this, as if he needs surgery, he needs surgery, but if there's any ambiguity about the position, I'd rather do a watch and wait to see if things resolve on their own rather than pile straight in, I suppose. I think its the pyloric valve (not sure if I've spelled that right) which is the problem, and the theory was that this would need to be reconstructed to keep the food from being regurgitated.

Question:

The husband seems to think I can pass Molly my sicky-flu germs in my breastmilk. Am I right in thinking that's a [STRIKE]load of crap[/STRIKE] misconception?

My overexcited and overtired toddler has given up the fight and is now zonked out in bed, for how long I don't know as she went up without having any tea, but she was too tired to eat.

I have a cunning plan with her non-eating cousin - set them up with a picnic in the wendy house and see what happens, no pressure from parents etc.

PINKPIG - I was discussing your situation with my mum (a childminder) she had a baby similar to C and what helped was mum visiting the child in her own home, and the baby was a similar age to C as well.

SS - but you are also passing on major amounts of antibodies at the same time to kick start her immune response!
