    Does anyone know when BF babies start needing water? H is on three (smallish) meals a day, and still has probably six BFs throughout the day and night. Should I offer him water too? I just forget.....:o.

    To those with frequent feeding babies, H fed every two hours onto he went onto solids. Only through the day though, he's always been quite a good night sleeper but I think some babies just like snacking frequently. Also I always try and remember that it is their drink as well as their food and I wouldn't like to go 4+ hours between food and drinks!

    I gave mine a beaker with their meals.. and they usually had boob after.

    If he is thirsty he will demand very short feeds more often so you would know about it.

    evening all :D

    DH is off out to do some overtime because a driver walked out. And he's lost his P60 so I can't do my student loan application (which is a bloody nightmare! I assume my beneficiary is my husband since he is the one who provides me with pennies and pounds?).

    Need to bath the boys, get them to bed and do a bit of ironing.

    Becles, remember you said you loved stuff out on the line? I'm not that fussed, but I much prefer ironing stuff that has been out on the line, it smells much nicer :D

    Bed linen that has been on line is best. Smells so fresh when you get into bed. I go to sleep sniffing the duvet :o:D

    Actually, yeah I do agree with that!

    Plus, I have found that the TD makes me sneeze, so folding the clothes that come out of it makes me sneeze, ironing them makes me sneeze. Whereas the line dried stuff doesn't.

    Right, off to gte stuff done while I can be bothered doing it. Might take teh iron upstairs and do soem while the boys are in the bath.
