3 - we have 18-24 babygrows from Asda and Sainsburys...I am looking for 24m+ if anywhere does them

Don't they move up to mens clothes from age 13ish? Measure his waist and leg and see if you can buy from George or somewhere xx

3 - do Asda do them in the packs of 2 and 3 that they do? I'm sure I've seen them but could be making it up lol

SJ - (or anyone else who knows) Did you find out what was the cause of Alfie's green poo? Thomas's was very green yesterday morning then he appeared to have diawoowoo all day. I think we changed about 8 dirty nappies! Had to change him twice overnight too which is unheard of! It gradually got more normal coloured all day, then when DH changed his nappy 1st thing it was very green again. He seems very well and happy in himself, even his teething isn;t bothering him too much. He had a bottle of expressed milk day before yesterday and I'm wondering if it was connected to that.

I think we're going to go to Ikea this morning to get T's highchair. He keeps whinging when we're having T then is fine when DH brings him up to the table with us and sits him on his knee so I think he might like to sit in his high chair and play with some toys. I'll be passing a couple of Asdas on the way (ish) as well lol

Green poop can be a sign that they are getting too much foremilk and not enough of the rich hindmilk. This can happen if they are having lots of short feeds rather than longer ones where the richer milk has time to come through. If he is otherwise well then I wouldn't be too concerned- we certainly had episodes of green poop for seemingly no reason!

You'll love the Antilop- it is a really useful place to plonk them while you eat.

H is napping so I am resting my poorly back and shoulder by doing nothing .

I thought i'd seen the babygrows in real Asda, but I assumed they'd also have them on-line, but they all only go up to 12-18.

I might need a trip to Asda this morning then - I bet mine doesn't have any nappy bargains, it never does.

MFD - I'm looking on LaRedoute - they seem to go up to age 3-4 in some styles. :A

Not sure about trousers, I should measure his waist. Tescos seemed to do the size but had no stock, and only had black anyway.

13/14 year old boys clothes seem to be non existant - maybe he is a small man now? Even undies only go up to age 12, then i'm guessing he must go into small mens?

Shoes are even more of a nightmare - childrens go up to a size 4 usually, 5 sometimes. Then mens start at a 7! What do I do now he's a 6? Looks like it'll have to be a horrendous trip to Clarks in the holidays. :eek:

Did you see the post from Bruno after they got back from the scan? Or was that before you went awol?

No I missed that. Team pink then?! :T:T

And the 18-24 month babygrows we have were from Tesco.

Better go take the little one out of time out. She hit me on the head really hard with a drum so hard it made me cry, and I had to put her in her room before I got cross with her laughing at me :rotfl:.

My 12 year old nephew is starting to wear small mens stuff 3. You may find it easier to find a button trouser if you are looking at mens trousers too.

Will have a peek around La Redoute later ta x

Mens shoes should come in a size 6. I used to work for shoefayre and the boys shoes went up to a 6 and mens started in a 6. They were the least popular size though so that tended to be the one we didnt put out.

Well baby clinic was manic yesterday and ended up waiting so long to be seen had to dash back to the car and get another ticket! T now ways 14lb 11oz and is still on 50th centile so thats good, and talked to HV about starting to wean. She was all for us starting now T is 5 months. I did mention we wanted to do BLW and she was really pleased as they said not many people want to give it a go and could I let her know how I get on, so I thought that was really nice. We will mix in a few puree's to start too as her hand to mouth cordination is hit and miss atm, but she can have some of our carrots and broccoli to start playing with at dinner. Debating buying a BLW book just for some ideas, but am sure Internet is more MSE, but a book I could show to OH and more importantly MIL.

I would recommend http://www.babyledweaning.com/forum/ as it has pretty much all the info that's in the book! I have the book though if you would like to borrow it? If you decide to go for BLW, the thinking is that they don't need any food until they can get it in their mouths themselves, but obviously plenty of people do mix the two successfully. Personally having started doing it this way, it's sooo much fun, and I totally couldn't be bothered doing any mushy food just for A!

I think it was the hindmilk / foremilk thing that GISI mentioned with us. I did a few feeds of only one side, and made sure it was fully, fully drained. And it sorted itself out after a couple of days. Alfie always seemed fine in himself so I wasn't really worried, just curious as it was very strange!

Re naps in the day, Alfie sleeps in his carrycot bit of the pram, but will soon be a bit big for it I think so need to swap to his cot i think. I would imagine that once they've mastered day and night it's not that likely they will forget again.

Well we are setting off back home now but I'll poss be on later tonight x
