Oh, and Jake likes his playmat (happy safari one) but only sometimes and I've had to put extra links on the toys so he can reach them. He pulls at them and chews them, managed to pull one off last month, cheeky monkey!

[lorna84]

Faye, Im glad your good the weather is crap isnt it? WTG Caleb on the weight

Jaydee, How are you?

:wave:

How is everyone?

 

[chuck]

stage 2 in jars OMG dewi isnt on food at all yet!

Need to try him again though he might have a bit more interest now.

He spent his whole bath sitting up tonight splashing the water with his hands and trying to grab the plug for the bath lol.

What are everyone's bed time routines now if you have them?

 

[pink23]

i try and give caleb a bath every other night and sometimes i give him a bottle then we put him down to sleep between7/8. he will probably go til 12/1 . he woke up last night and i gave him his dummy and he went till 4 yey so that wasnt to bad.
I wouldnt worry charlie every baby is different and its only the last few weeks calebs been eating better xx

 

[chuck]

I was just wondering was all...being nosey.

Caleb sounds a lot like Dewi, he'll go off to bed somewhere between 7/8, he'll have a bottle, bath (not every night) and then bed - I wrap him up and give him a pat bu tthen try to leave him alone but sty in the room until he starts to drift off.

He'll go until 1ish have another bottle then back to sleep till 6ish - but he will sometimes wake at other times just well no reason I can fathom!

Hello!

Been so busy so not been around for a while! Hope you ad you're babies are all ok?

Noah still doesnt sleep through!! he wakes at least once and we've had a couple of nights when we have sat u for 3-4 hours and he's not wanted to sleep. No teeth at all, although his gums are rock hard!
he is on 3 meals at nursery now and 5 bottles!! Greedy thing. Need to get him weighed but working full time means I cant get there!!
He sleeps on his tummy now most of the time, I stopped going in and rolling him back as he is more comfortable like that. he can almost roll back now .
Er... think thats it. Wedding is in 1 month and 1 week so mega busy!!

Jake has a bath every other night just before bed. We tend to try and get him changed around 9, then feed him and put him to bed so he's in bed by 9.30-10. On a good night he'll wake up at 3ish, feed then down again till 6/7 ish. On a bad night he either wakes twice or wants to get up at 5.30, on a really bad night he'll do both! I'm sure it's something to do with his feeding during the day so am trying to keep track of the good days so I can replicate every day - not figured it yet though.

He's having 2 lots of food a day: breakfast and evening. I wouldn't say they are full meals as he has boob after each one but he's really good at eating, sometimes you can't reload the spoon quick enough, esp with the heinz banana cereal.

:wave: Hey Nic! Not long at all to your wedding!

We have no set bedtime routine still. He won't settle before midnight at all most nights and last two nights has been up again through the night not fun lol

Matthew's still on two lots of food a day isn't fussed on a third so I don't force it really. We've been doing a mix of BLW and spoonfeed's loves it some days hates it others lol. He loves eating toast though

Thanks for the comments in GS I can't wait to get moved in! lol And one of the girls on here is giving me some stuff which is gonna be a massive massive help especially as Im not exactly rolling around in cash

Hope everyone is ok! All the avatar and siggie pictures showing how grown up our LO's are getting!

4pm ish full 9oz bottle
8pm 3 oz or so
11pm ish full 9 oz bottle

Don't know what's going on lol

 

[JayDee]

You really do look like the same baby Lorna. Think I'll have to get a pic of DH from MIL as she keeps saying how alike him and Jake look.

SL - can't help you exactly on the bottles but Jake does seem to feed for a lot longer sometimes than others from 10 mins to nearly 30!

I'm ok, felt like I was getting a cold yesterday, sore throat, headache, runny nose etc but <touch food> I feel a bit better today.

Good luck with the interview Faye, sounds good

What are everyone's bed time routines now if you have them?

Bedtime routine is she has dinner at 6, stage 1 stuff, atm just the powder u add with milk, never given a jar of food but this week im going to clear some space in the freezer and make some dinners for her. So dinner at 6, bath at 7.15ish every other night, bottle at 7.30/7.45 then bed. She will sleep till the sun wakes her in her room around 5, come in with me untill about 9 when she has first bottle of the day.

ATM its falling into that, then baby rice or cereal, or porridge made with milk not water, between 10.30/11.30 at some point, then half an hour later i guev her the rest of the milk. Then a bottle around 3. Found it so hard at first but seems to be working atm, also give her some fruit pot after meals.
