((hugs)) to KK with your DH, mine is really good but still has expectations that I can do more round the house than I can. As T hasn't been sleeping during the day I barely have time to make food for myself, go toilet, have a shower during the day before he wants picking up and to be honest my priority isn't do lots of housework when he is asleep as I need my rest too! I have mentioned re getting a cleaner but he is paranoid that we will be robbed, he said the other night I could get one as long as I put a lock on 'his' room!! T was wide awake last night after his 10 feed (which was an hour bfing and formula!) so we went for a drive at 1:30 and went straight to sleep, took him into our room expecting him to wake in less than an hour for his 2am feed, but slept through till 5. This does make me feel like a bad mummy as I know they are not supposed to be in the car seat for a long time, but it does make me think he can sleep longer and go longer for feeds at night.

Glad its not just my OH being a KH! My OH promised me when we were TTC he would hire me a housekeeper if I got pregnant... well that never happened!! LOL. I put the housework on hold and just do the important stuff; wash up, cook, sterilise bottles, basic cleaning and run the hoover around when I get chance. Oh and washing.. I am obsessed with washing clothes.. I like my clothes to smell fresh... bit of OCD here!

I feel most days I havent really achieved much, bar feed, change and entertain the baby; yest I had my 1st food of the day at 6pm... not good as I was rushing around doing errands for OH, shopping, taking T to docs, collecting stuff from work, etc. Then I tried to express and typically nothing came out as I hadnt eaten/ drank enough.

twoflower, have you tried presenting things with different names? Alice got put off curry by one we had which wasn't as nice. If I give her "bean curry" she doesn't like it but if I give her "beans and rice" she'll polish it all off even though it's exactly the same thing and I've just given it a different name.

Oops. I woke Izzy up from her nap and made the mistake of telling her we would go to the allotment in her wellyboots later. She thinks later is NOW and doesn't want to wait for my cake to cook. Distraction time!

We have a similar problem with Alice - if you say something will happen after something else she assumes you mean immediately after.

So do I

Goodnight lovelies.

I hope the non-eating toddler is sorted - I've no idea what advice to give but am reading with great interest. Wee Beastie has recently cut down on her food intake because it's boring, but this evening I discovered that once she starts refusing food in the high chair, removing her bib gets me a few extra mouthfuls and letting her eat standing up at my knee gets a few more. I remember a while ago someone suggested "grazing" type food - a bowl of chunks of stuff that can be absently eaten while doing something else. I wonder if that's applicable?

kian will quite happily 'walk round the furniture' with breadstick in his mouth...usually one he has hidden in his toy box from earlier in the day.

he is eating so well at the moment. and even yesterday, let me feed him from a plastic fork!!

Hi SM,
Just trying to catch up with some comping, how are you?

got-it-spend-it

A quick hello from me, as things are very busy at the moment at chez GISI. NCT sale tomorrow so am helping out with that, as well as trying to get my own stuff ready to sell at it.

Hugs to those who need them, and get well to snuffly mummies and babies.

I mainly just came on to say that Asda have some great baby bargains at the moment as their Baby Event nears its end. We got two stairgates for £7.50 each, a bed guard thingy for £7.50, a little plastic step for £2 and some toddler cutlery for £1 a set. Well worth a look!
