MSE Parents Club Part 12

brednall

My daughter is already 3 and a bit months old and I just thought 'I never joined the parents thread!!!' As Jessica is our first child, we are definitely learning as we go along so I'm here for a bit of advice. This is our routine at the moment:

Jessica wakes any time between 7.30 and 8.30 (although a couple of times, she has slept later than this). She drains a 7oz bottle of formula then is quite happy to either lay on her changing mat or sit in her boucy chair often nodding off at some point during the morning for a short nap. SHe then has lunch, also a drained 7oz bottle of formula anytime btween 12noon and 1pm, then again happy to play during the afternoon with again a nap or two. Tea time is between 4pm and 5pm then supper at about 8pm, both 7ozs of formula. We then 'top her up' about 9.30 - 9.45 with 2-3 ozs the she goes down about 10pm and sleeps through the night. SHe is sleeping in her own cot in her own room and has been for several weeks - we can't believe how well she took to it right from the beginning.

She naps a few times during the day, depending on whether I'm at home all day or at my Mum's (she often sleeps on the 20 minute journey) or if we take her out for a walk but no significant long periods of sleep during the day anymore.

SHe is a well settled little girl but does anyone have any useful advice or if things need changing. We can't wait to start giving her something more than milk but all the literature advises against this but I think she is ready for it.

Here's hoping for any useful advice you might all want to pas on.

Regards

hi, could you please send me the puschair back them please? thanks

I'm not happy to do this without my postage costs up front, how does that work then?? Cos i know she wouldn't refund my postage and it's about £15!!! And if i could get her to pay my postage i'd just say that's my basket money then ta very much byeee

Should i just open the dispute? I just want a partial refund or the basket, looks like she's playing me here, to try and call my bluff.

So you either send the pushchair back at cost to you (original postage and return postage) OR open a item not as described dispute.
What would be the outcome of the dispute do you think?

Sorry, just thinking out loud here.....

Don't think she has any intention of giving you the basket btw

Yeah i think you might be right... I am just annoyed at her, but her attitude annoyed me at the start after i'd bought i can't remember why though LOL.

But i want the basket But there's NO WAY i will pay that sort of money for one :mad:

Hello Brednall.

To be honest, if you have a happy contented little baby then I personally would not bother introducing solids at the moment. If she was waking up and looking for more regular feeding for an extended period, then fair enough, but if you have a nice little routine going that suits you, I wouldn't disturb it unless I had to! I found life easier when Holly was taking 4 bottles a day every 4 hours. If she is draining the 7oz bottles, you could make her 8oz bottles.

You picked a lovely name for your little girl! Will you be following this post with some piccies??!!

Lol i dunno, there's the chance they could rule in her favour, knowing my luck :rotfl: That'd be shameface all round.
