Thanks again guys

I might make up 3oz bottles cos sometimes he drinks that much and Id hate to make a 2 oz bottle for him to need more

Like others have said, I've always made up an 1oz more than he would usually drink. Then when he starts draining a bottle move up another oz. We are on 7oz bottles and Jack tends to drain them but I know he wouldn't drink 8oz cos everytime I make an 8 he leaves 1oz.

I was looking up Holidays earlier. Was looking at Sands resorts in Cornwall and Butlins.
Dont know when would be the best time to go though, i mean age wise for Lily??
Before or after i start weaning her?

When she's asleep she keeps putting her hand down my top and stroking my boob... :rotfl:

Probably before! Bottles or boob are soooooooooooooooo much easier!

I remember posting on here really late one night when I was on the sofa with Jack and he had head on his hands and his elbows hooked down my bra :rotfl:

FR- Lily takes abot 30/40mins with her bottle feed.
Nappy change if she is really wet/pooped.
Drink 2/3ozs.
Winding.
Tiny nap/resting eyes.
Drink rest of bottle.
Winding again.
Finished

What age did everyone start introducing a routine? I was thinking maybe about 1month old??

Tara, what's the date?

We're discussing where to go for our week away tonight and Devon Cliffs/Exeter has been mentioned... :whistle:

We're going there at the 2nd week of June we've booked through these people I feel like we're getting a luxury caravan for basic caravan prices.

Knife & Forks - Katie has them for every meal, but uses them in combination with fingers.

Kindof - you sound much happier.

GISI, well done Henry!!!

EA, before weaning, easier. And at that age they usaully still fit in carry cots (if you have one) so you can get out later at night while they sleep in the pram, plus you don't need a cot and highchair etc etc.

We always just fell into a routine around 6-8weeks. Although, its apt to vary day to day. It's only recently that I can plan when she naps, feeds etc.

Argh I am in pain my stitches are hurting me, they kinda feel like they are being pulled OWW

Ohhh I think I will try the vari flow ones then, we had some size 2's in already which was good and he does seem to be drinking more, but will look into the vari flow ones now

Elliot is currently laying on OH on the sofa, he's just fed him a bottle, so hoping he will nod off soon, I am dying for bed myself lol

Oh another question, any news mums finding they sweat to death in bed? I wake up covered in sweat and I mean covered, I sound lovely dont I lol

EA, I'm only just introducing a bedtime routine now, have absolutely no routine in the day but it works for me! If you do start a routine at 1 month be prepared for it to change quite frequently in the next few months

Glad you're feeling better today, Kindof!

We're off to Exeter at the end of April. I love it down in the West Country. We go down there most years I think. This year we are going with some friends and it will be Henry's first holiday!

Henry rolled over today. It was front to back, when we were at baby massage and I was so proud of him . He's been such a little cutie today. He cooed all the way through baby massage and was the only baby that didn't cry.

Yeah Henry. X. Where, actually in Exeter?

Flippen Location, location, location are pronouncing all the names wrong tonight! :cool:

We're off to St.Ives on the 12th. X


EA, I started at about 6wks. XXX

Evansangel

Kindof, yes! I have to open the window in the bedroom lol.
But our wall thermometre says 18-21degrees.

Hmmm, im not going to try a strict routine, more of a go with the flow but still in a little routine. If that makes sense?
