    No lol, he is a greedy !!!!!! as it is
    This is his daily routine at the min

    7am - 9oz bottle
    8am - Breakfsat
    11am - 9oz bottle
    3pm - 9oz bottle
    5pm - tea
    7pm -9oz bottle
    11pm - 9oz bottle
    3am - 9oz bottle

    Drop the 3am bottle 1st, then go for the 11pm in a couple of weeks. Poppie was born Feb, she hasn't had a night bottle for ages now, it was the 11pm bottle that DD dropped a couple of weeks ago.
    Too many children, too little time!!!

    I have a baby that doesn't get the concept of tummy time. She was lying there licking the mat like a weirdo :rotfl:She can actually do all the head holding etc, and has done since birth, stick on a mat and she just acts special.

    She also doesn't get thumb sucking, she'll put her thumb into her wide open mouth and lick her palm.

    Did you try get him to go all night...maybe it's worth just trying to get him to drop one at a time, or as Tara says, be strong, but be strict...it does happen eventually.

    I will be doing it soon myself;)

    No I only tried for an hour, then gave in and gave him a bottle

    I just dont understand how to tell if he is hungry or just wanting attention

    Thanks guys, I am just concerned cos of OH and him having to go to work?

    Ok I will drop the 3am one tonight

    Kindof, a baby of 6-12mths (he nearly is) should be having 750cals a day. Each 100ml milk is approx 65cals. With the night bottle, does he have a dummy?

    Ah thanks for this. I was worried about Lily not hardly having any.

    But i worked out she's having 944cals a day from bottles and she usually has 2 meals.

    But then again, she does be sick alot...

    Going to get her weighed today :D

    Yep I agree with the re-dummying strategy;)

    We do that and Lily sleeps from 8pm - 7:30/8am.

    Except last night, she was up every two hours crying. She had a nappy change at 12:30am and some calpol and then we just kept putting her dummy back and she slept until 8:30am :cool:

    Im about to write my resignation letter to work. I dont have a clue what to write though. I might google a sample letter and just edit it :D

    Hiya

    Sorry to nip in and lower the tone of the thread! Just wanted to know when its best to think about introducing the potty. I was going to wait quite a bit longer and havent really thought about it. But for the last couple of week Leila will grab me and tell me 'poo' repeatedly (in a surprised little voice) about 30 secs before she does it. Before she was only telling me afterwards. I dont want to think her efforts are going to waste so she stops telling me and then I miss a golden (or brown!) opportunity. What do you lovely lot think?

    (she's now 14.5 months )

    Breakfast question

    I read somewhere they are meant to have rice or porridge for breakfast and nothing else?

    Is that right?

    Cos E

    Kindof - don't know if it'll help, but Freddie's not a great sleeper and I've recently changed him to the hungry milk and he's sleeping better now....

    Happy Birthday to my 'twin' MFD!!!!
    ;) Working hard in the hopes of being 'lucky' ;)
