    Oooh bargain, wonder if they have a boys version, I like that one :D I was going to buy 9-12, but then I'm thinking he may still need it Feb/March time knowing this country. So would I be better buying 12-18, but then how massive is that gonna be. For £9 I suppose i could buy a bigger one if needs be :)

    They had the boys version in my local Asda, Poppy also has this one in pink which is also lovely!: http://direct.asda.com/george/baby-boys-clothes/soft-fleecey-snowsuit-blue/G003890747,default,pd.html

    The 12-18 month one looked massive to me, nearly fit me! They are quite generous sizes, I suppose it depends what they wear underneath. Poppy lives in leggings and tops mainly so not very baggy, if she wore jeans a lot I might have got the 3-6 month size instead.

    Weird one, but those of you with littlies on solids how often do you offer pudding/afters. A tends to have a little something after lunch and dinner. I'm thinking it could be a bad thing now to set him up to think he will always have 2 courses? It tends to be a no dairy yogurt, few goodies mini gingerbread men/crisps or fruit of some sort, so not 'bad' stuff if you like but I'm a bit confused if I should be doing that or not.

    I give Noah lunch and a yogurt/fruit pot and dinner and a pudding. Most evenings after dinner my boys have a crunch corner yogurt/ jelly or custard pot etc. I'm not sure if its the "right" thing to do but it what "we" do. Sometimes no one has pudding if we haven't got anything left and that's fine too.

  • Hiya Gilly,
    I tend to offer something afterwards as I think the different flavours help them eat a bit more. not sure if he expects it or not. also if its something like and apple slice or a biscuit he can eat himself then it gives you a bit of peace whilst little one is still happy in highchair.....cheerios have prooved really useful for this or buying some time while the main meal is cooling down.

    Don't think its a bad thing especially if the main event has been chowed down

    Good to hear other people offer it too. :) I suppose I almost always have a hot drink and a biscuit/bit of choc after dinner so it's similar :) xx Thanks

    I've started doing the shred. Two days so far and my thighs are on fire.

    not worse, just more painful. I'd say level 2 is probably the worst. I have given up, back to sensible eating and the occasional jog here. I have floor to ceiling windows and closing the blinds for me to huff and puff about the lounge every day was doing my swede in :D
