Bumpin - sorry to hear about J's weight. Hope the fenugreek and domperidonne will work for you!

We went to the pediatrician yesterday and I'm still pissed off... imo doctors shouldn't talk about sleep training unless there IS a problem that's not a normal stage of development. Arthur is in the 4 months sleep regression OF COURSE it'll be harder to make him fall asleep. She almost convinced OH that we should let him cio. I swear after every appointment I have to remind him we're doing attachment parenting, it's frustrating.

Arthur is now 12lbs. He's going up in the percentiles apparently

had a phone call off the ped beginning of the week he has ordered an xray for his head which should be in the next few weeks and has done a referral to alder hey hospital liverpool for potential craniosyntosis as he thinks he may need surgery liverpool is over 140 miles away for us but its the closest hospital that deals with it, I cried my eyes out all day feel sick with worry incase he needs surgery

We are definitely going through some sort of sleep regression. The last couple of nights LO has gone to sleep at 7pm been back up at 11pm then 1am, 2am, 4am, 5am and finally I give up on trying to sleep and take her downstairs. She then falls asleep at 9am for 2 hours.

I need me some quality sleep now!!!

Rosie I hope everything goes ok thinking of you!
which yoghurts do you feed your son? all the ones I've looked at have ridiculous amounts of sugar.

Lyle still takes4 bottles a day, porridge & fruit for breakfast, and usually veg for dinner. we are starting to give him finger foods to at dinner time & he is loving it

 

[x__amour]

It has been quiet, we can't let this group die!

Bryson is good, getting so big. He just started solids this last weekend and took to it amazingly. We also switched him from our room to sharing a room with his sister, the change is amazing! He went from waking up every 1-2 hours to fuss to sleeping through the night and taking 20 minute naps to 2+ hour naps! I am loving it and it is much needed, LOL. I don't know if it was a combination from the food or if we were keeping him awake in my room but I am not fussed either way, haha.

Good to hear from folks again and catchup on baby news.

Lexi is learning new things every day, sitting up and getting mobile dragging herself around the floor.

She loves peek a boo at the minute and has a lovely giggle.

We've started doing baby porridge for breakfast and will add in more meals over the next few weeks.
