Jillie - If its any good, as a guide Jack has 8ozs at bedtime, then usually 7ozs sometime in the night and then about 6ozs in the morning. So approx 20ozs a day - sometimes he just has 16ozs if he skips the morning or night bottle.
Occasionally, like today, he has 3ozs at creche but he has formula there. He's been on cows milk at home for about the last 5 weeks. He tends to have one meal a day that he doesn't eat all of.
I personally wouldn't water formula down, if he won't drink water from his sippy cup but will from his bottle just use that until be gets used to drinking water instead of milk. Then work on getting him to have it from the sippy cup. I also wouldn't split his night time bottles into 2 x 3ozs because then he might start waking up more often for smaller bottles.
If he's due a bottle at 10pm, when was his last one?
thanks Glam
he had 5oz at 6pm.
he usually has a bottle every 4 hours or so. but they are 5oz at a time.
maybe i need to stretch out the times between his bottles and maybe make them to 6 or 7oz. So he goes longer??
Am getting more and more confused about whats best to do. Maybe I'm trying to change too much at one time
wish DH would have a bit more input!! He just says 'upto you Jillie as you are with him more thane me' :mad:'Children are not things to be moulded, but are people to be unfolded'0 -

RARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!
:mad::mad::mad:
So the Chavs are out with their gazebo - ON THE FRONT!!! like the !!!!!!! chav moron scab !!!!!! that they are, with their music SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO loud! :mad::mad: I raged for 2 hours before i finally went out to a crowd of 20 people and asked them to turn it down. "Can you turn that down now it's 9pm i've got two young kids... you're taking the mick"
So they did...........
But not by enough and it is still making me seethe. :mad::mad::mad::mad::mad:
It's SO intimidating going out there to that amount of Chavs, i fking hate feeling like this ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGH ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Tomorrow i think i'll go and catch them with less Chavettes in tow and tell them i am going to re-open the complaint as that's 3 times in 2 days i've had to ask them now so it is quite clear that they don't give a fook...... Although when i ask they do turn it down so HOW THICK ARE THEY?????!!! You've been told enough times to have LEARNED HOW LOUD TOO LOUD IS YOU BRAINLESS B@STARDS!!!!!!!!!
OMG.
Thanks i feel better for that.0 -
Jillie, S gradually weaned himself off his bottles, he now has one first thing, one before his nap and one before bed. Is it that you're worried he isnt eating enough? Could you try keeping him awake for longer between nap times so he doesnt notice he's getting hungry cos he's too busy sleeping perhaps?
S doesnt really eat lunch still at 18 months - he eats a quarter of a sandwich and a yogurt most days, if that much! He fills his boots with breakfast and dinner, and where he usually has his (still epicly long
) 2-3 hour nap around 11am he is usually full from his bottle. It doesnt bother me, if he's happy I'm happy

The blue terrance one (bog standard LOL). Not my trunki of choice but for £19.99 it was too :money: to miss!Thank you, was trying my new camera out.

Benjamin's hair gets madly curly when he gets hot. I am going to cut it soon I think (although MIL will kill me LOL)can i ask how much the trunkies are MFD?
£19.99, I collected in store so no delivery. They only have the basic blue or pink ones but so much cheaper than normal.
:rotfl::rotfl:Just remembering Charlie sleeping in your suitcase when you went away when you were pregnant!!please listen to MFD - she is a wise woman

4 hourly bottles seems quite frequent. Does he drain the bottles?
If he does, then I would probably give bigger bottles and try to get him to go longer between. Before he went to creche, J was having one at 7am, then 3pm and then 7pm. He wasn't waking for a bottle in the night then. *rollseyes*
