Morning everyone

Another early one here. DS woke me at 6, can't moan really though as i ignored him till nearly half past, and he is playing nice now.

We've had breakfast, i've fed the cats and then let them out, and i have put away most of last nights dishes.

Can i trouble anyone for portion advice, as DS is a gannett and i wanted to know what you thought. Remembering he is 18 months old,

this morning, at 6:30ish he had 2 cups of milk (probably round about 1/2 pint)
then at 7:30, i made him a bowl of cheerios, and then gave him a buttered crumpet. He was still saying he was hungry. I am well out of practice with what his portions are as mostly he eats at nursery, or i cook him too much or too little. Does this sound like i am starving him? I know chunky and tracey have DS's this age, so probably best for direct comparison, but any thoughts on the matter will be appreciated.

Right, dare say i should tackle the washing and dressing part of the morning. :eek: See you in about an hour then. Yes, it really will take us that long.

Michelle, x

Lil Me, Chunky, Pigpen, Johanne - what can I say? Not a lot really, hugs all round I think though.

Cha97Michelle - if he is still hungry then give him more. Usually means he is on a growth spurt and needs the extra calories.

Serena - glad DD is back ok.

Quick query about Ecover washing powder. I have started using it in the last couple of weeks. I have noticed over the last few days to weeks DS2 has a rash on his face, particularly one cheek and a bit in the fold of his arm.
I'm about to wash all the bedding, but wandering wheter to go and get some different powder in case this is causing it .

He normally doesn't suffer from allergies or the such like.
