Morocha there's no definite amount a baby of a certain age will drink so have a look the box and whatever it tells you for her age range I'd start from there, so if it's 4oz make up that amount if she is draining the bottle, make an extra oz next time, if she is leaving loads take it down an oz. they say there should always be a little left over in the bottle when they are done hope that helps x

Handprints. Do it with the paper on a low surface. Sit baby on your lap to put paint on hand. When ready, stand baby on floor. Soon as their feet hit the floor they open their hand, slam it down quick!!! Learnt this at baby group

By eating loads of cake!!

He shares his birthday with his daddy so we are having a family day, we will be having a little party the weekend before for him and his little friends.

Where did you get the slipper socks? We have laminate too so he tends to end up in the splits position!

Good plan! Oh wow, you're going to struggle to come up with a better present than last year for your OH! My LO was born on my brother's birthday - he was very excited about becoming an uncle Missed my OH's birthday by 7 days - needless to say it wasn't the liveliest of celebrations 3 days before my due date!

We got the Mocc Ons from Amazon, but they're quite expensive and also a bit limited in terms of patterns (I settled for pink dots, but I suspect that might not be to Noah's taste! ), so if the ones from Mothercare are as good, I'd go for those.

Also if you choose your colour of paint smartly you can minimise the battle to get it off their skin - green, blue and black are particularly bad to remove from my experience (yes I've done handprint Xmas cards a few times with reception)... if you go for lighter colours like yellow the removal's a lot easier!

Just had an awful scare - was in the car with the dogs in the boot going to the park (I was going to sit in the car with a coffee but let hubby take Erin out with the dogs as she really doesn't get out much at the moment at all), and we'd turned to go down the dual-carriageway... boot flew open. Me just yelling STAY STAY STAY STAY and both the dogs did as we came to a halt and ran round to get the boot shut! Absolute nightmare - if we COULD we'd get a proper car cage for the boot, but obviously we need full access to it a lot of the time for putting a large pushchair in so we have to just make do with car bars.

Freddie wakes so many times in the night and consequently I'm only ever half awake that I've had to devise a way of knowing which booby I last fed him on.

Basically I put him in the cot alternate ways, i.e. sometimes his feet are towards the window, sometimes his head is.

This has worked brilliantly so far.... but now he's mobile. He could be any old way in the cot now. Swapped ends, on his tum, perpendicular to the normal way with one leg stuck through the bars, l-shaped with his feet halfway up the side. Anything goes and I've no idea which boob to hoick out any more...
