Half Price Perfumes are letting people who don't pay the tenner use their secret sale area to clear out for Christmas, if anyone wants to stock up on gifts. 5% extra off with code >LOVEHPP< but I can't figure out how to get Quidco to work because you have to click through that link.

Does anyone else have any experience/advice here?? It's a rather sharp transition and I'm wondering if it's too much to ask - currently he feeds at 10am & 2pm still but he has gone without one of those in the past and been fine (so a lot of it is habit).

If you're still going to be feeding him in the morning and at night then he would be fine during the day with no milk. His carer could try offering cows milk in a cup but it wouldn't be a huge issue if he doesn't drink it... And he'd probably feed quite happily at the weekend too...

Thanks everyone for your good wishes my dad is home at last and on the road to recovery :j

RMac - Lo has just been through an awfully long phase of hitting - I was beginning to think she would never stop but it is gradually getting less and less only to be replaced with throwing things in temper! so dont worry I know its hard at the time but it will pass x

Thanks Susan and Weezle, what do you mean E has more babble?

from what you've described E seems to make more baby chatty noises words and sounds (which I think HVs and speech therapists call babble- so I meant it as a good word!) than kessie.

Kes doesn't have the m and d sound that E has obviously mastered. So I guess I was just trying to say, look he's doing really well compared to another baby his age.

Thanks for the support ladies. We've just managed an hour of sleep, just brought her downstairs and shes currently shouting at the TV.

And Susan, that comment made me get "dust in my eye". Lots of hugs to you.

All this talk about bread and slow cookers puts me to shame... give me a good Warbutons Toasty any day.

GTG, off to town if I can manage to get dressed. I dont think I will be out long as she will want feeding within 15 mins of me getting there.

I actually have no clue what to do about milk. Finn will take water from a cup, but I have no idea if he would do milk and in any sort of meaningful quantities. He eats quite a bit of food so I'm wondering if I weren't there to provide it, if he would actually be fine going all day with no feeds? Does anyone else have any experience/advice here?? It's a rather sharp transition and I'm wondering if it's too much to ask - currently he feeds at 10am & 2pm still but he has gone without one of those in the past and been fine (so a lot of it is habit).

Aless Izzy started nursery at 8 months, and to start with she would have milk/water in a doidy cup, but when she had been there a few weeks they tried her on a sippy cup, and she was fine with it (I had tried her with one lots of times before with no luck, but it is amazing what peer pressure will do even at that age!). I think now they have a carton of cows milk (with a straw!) at snack time, but I'm not too fussed either way tbh. With my mum she doesn't have any milk during the day, but she always has custard for pudding and lots of cheese, so I expect that more than makes up for it!

She normally has milk in the mornings and evenings with no issues. On the days that I'm not at work she (still!) has extra during the day, if there is nothing more exciting going on I find if we are at home she will have milk, but if we are out somewhere she forgets about it. She clearly doesn't need it in the day, but I'm too soft to say no :rotfl:.
