Just need a bit of advice as im really concerned about OH's nephew. I've never got on with my OH's brothers girlfriend and she has always tried to compete against me so when I announced I was pregnant, it was no suprise that she got pregnant too.
But now its gone a bit ott and im getting very concerned about her little boy. He was 3 weeks early and has always been quite small. When I put my little girl on hungry milk at 3 months (on HV advice), she put him on hungry milk - when he was just 3 weeks old and only just taking 4oz bottles. Now that we have moved our little one on to solids (again on HV advice) she has started feeding him solids but hes only 11 weeks old and still quite small. She said its to try and make him sleep through the night but he goes from 10 til 6 already which I think is great for an 11 week old!
She has never ever taken him to be weighed and he has only seen the HV twice - once when he was 3 days old and once when he was a week old, every other time she has had an appointment she has missed it and not bothered to book another one.
She goes out every single weekend and just gives him to anyone who'll have him overnight for her to go out. She pays no attention to him whatsover - we spent 5 hours there the other day and in that time I had to change him and feed him twice as she clearly wasnt bothered that he needed seeing to. His bum is sore and she often leaves him to cry. Also she will make up 3 bottles before she takes him to bed and just leave them on the side to save her going downstairs in the night. She often lies in til the afternoon and just leaves him in his cot to cry. So many people have spoken to her about it but she is not taking notice and im really concerned. OH's brother is unaware of all this as he works long hours and she always makes out that she got up at the crack of dawn and has had a hard busy day. I want to help for the babys sake but dont know where to start
