    Oooh another lovely baby in a lovely sleepsuit!

    Seriously where do you all go shopping?! I love it, and never seen one like that before :D

    Delain, it's a Mothercare one. We call him Mungo Stripey when he wears it! :D

    Thank you Betty :o

    He's so cute MV!

    My LO had her first curry today. Made from an Annabel Karmel recipe. She gagged a few times, but I'm not sure if it was the texture of the long grain rice or the curry. She ate it all though, so I guess that's a success. I had a bit and it was lovely :-)

    The AK recipes are really quite nice aren't they!

    A friend of mine made one today for Josh and her LO, it was chicken, spinach, sweet potato and grape (of all things!), and although Josh gagged a bit at first due to the texture I think, he seemed to love it, ate it all up and then cried when it was over!

    It tasted lovely!

    They are great for recipes with lots of fruit and veg. I counted one day that our LO had 10 different types of fruit and veg.

    I have just bought LO's Christmas present. Spotted on Hot Deals the Cozy Coupe in Tesco down from £50 to £25 using a code. Got a bit carried away and also bought her a paddling pool and a Playskool toy.

    MV, he's just adorable. We saw those sleepsuits in Mothercare, but figured they were a little too boyish. It seems to me that boy's clothes are more fun, girly stuff can be rather sickly sweet.

    Just a quickie...

    We normally give Josh a bottle at about 6.30pm, he will then sleep through the evening and either stir himself and wake up around nowish (11pm), and OH will give him a 210ml bottle, and he then normally sleeps through till about 6.30amish.

    Often OH does have to wake him for this, so we were going to try this evening to just leave him and see if he sleeps through. I doubt very much he will, I think he'll prob wake in the next hour or so wanting a feed.

    I just wondered when everyone else dropped the DF, and at what age were the babies?

    It seems daft to disturb him and wake him up to give him a bottle, but the thought of waking up in a couple of hours isn't that appealing either!

    MV very cute, we had an orange tesco sleepsuit that had a small picture of a dinosaur and said cheekyosauraus, loved it but t got too big - hate it when they grow out of cute clothes! Re dreamfeed we never did that, but DH did the late feed if/when he woke at like 12 or 2, he dropped this about 5 months. Why don't you not do it and see what happens, if he wakes screaming hingry at 2 or 3 you know he still needs it - he may surprise you.

    BB sorry about your cat. I'm sure he ate the pasta, like Delain says good for self regulation I put some out and add more.

    Hi MV. We always waited until LO woke to feed her. At five months I stopped offering her a feed during the night. I just settled her if she woke. She was perfectly happy and in 70th centile for weight. She would get her last feed at about 8pm and her morning feed at about 7-7.30am.
