Hi Kristin and Jackrose,

Thank you so so much for all your brillant advice and kind supportive comments it really made my day!
Kristin I don't think the pear is the problem for him as hes had pear since about 6 months old with no real issues.I think anytime we introduce something new it causes a problem.His doctor said hes got a really sensitive gut.I think I will try the water in a bottle as hes not really got the hang of the sippy cup yet.
Jackrose thats exactly how I felt about introuducing something new I am terrified it will get worse but you are right 5 hours is just not enough and it shows!The only way I catch up is that my husband most mornings looks after him and I get another 2 hours but thats only cause he works part time which won't be forever.I have actually gone to see a psychologist and she told me I had clinical depression which really suprised me but was good to hear as she gave me some things to do which are helping a bit.I will have a look at the info on choking and gagging thanks for that.
I did actually try last night to drop the feed but was not successful.He went down at 6.30 and woke 11.30 and I gave him a big feed then,Then he woke again at 2.30 but was wet so had to change him which is a pain as he wakes up.Then I sat on the rocking chair determined to get him back to sleep.He was so sleep and I nearly cracked it but when I put him the cot he kept waking up and he seemed so hungry so I caved in!!Hes just had croup in the last week so I thought maybe he needed it as hes coughing a lot.He went back to sleep at 3.40 and woke again about 6 when I fed him again.Do ye think it would just be this 2am feed I would need to cut out??
thanks again for all the help yes chemo is not nice but hes not doing too bad and has some bad days but we get through.
