BW - Wow! I hope your Mum is recovering well. My sister flew in yesterday from London, she hasn't seen Baxter since he was less than 2 weeks old, so yes, lots of fun!
Janine - if you go to the start of this thread, it will link you back to the previous thread.
Lisy - I saw Hunter's photo in yesterday's Sunday Times!! What a cutie you have.
Hi to Nettie, mgm , Nessa and everyone else.
As for us - Baxter has now fully weaned and drinks 4 x 180ml bottles a day. Other FF's, how much does your bubba drink? He has yoghurt for breakfast (full fat Jalna, I would be sooo fat if I ate this stuff!), veg for lunch and fruit (usually apple) for dinner. He's not so hot on meat and I'm not really pushing it either. Just getting ready for Christmas, going to my parents then a beach holiday for a week. Wish us luck, we are in a tent for 7 nights!!
Ci is feeding (milk) more at night than through the day, and I think it is because of teeth. I have seen several times now people saying that happens because it hurts to feed but at night they don't notice as much due to tiredness. Dunno. I do know, however, that he is teething very badly, those top two front teeth, and has been for a month now. I may have mentioned (too tired to check) but he bled a bit while the teeth at sides of the top two came through, blood on our shoulders and all over his bed. I don't recall my daughter teething this badly. He bats at his ears, which are covered in sores from him kind of scratching them, and is just so uncomfortable.
Well, I think he feeds more at night. Most feeds during the day are less than five minutes. He has always been fast, but he's getting faster. His night feeds are the same though cos he is so sleepy he just stays there until I remove him, or sometimes he just rolls away and goes back to sleep. So he slept through the night and since teething he wants night comfort again and it built up to four feeds a night! Oddly, I'm ok with it. I think cos we're so close to a year now, and that's when I'm going to start night weaning. At this stage that's the plan anyway. I'll put it off as long as I can, but at least at that age I'll be where I can night wean, if I choose to. Which is something to look forward to next year. My friend offered a cup of water when her son was a year old, and he gently night weaned like that, which sounds good. Ci loves his cups of water, too. Dr Jay Gordon has a "night weaning and the family bed" article that is kinda gospel for cosleepers, I'll have to look into it more closely also.
Why were you in the paper, Lisa? Cool! (well, if it's a good reason that is lol)
Wrapping pressies here and thinking about putting up the tree for my six year old. She doesn't seem to care much as nana downstairs has her tree up that she helped decorate. But we need somewhere for Santa to put her stuff, eh. Nana bought Ci some stuff, but we didn't get him a brass razoo. He won't know the difference and this may be the only year we can skip it before he'll notice.
I'm not sure if I'll get back here before the day so merry christmas to all those who celebrate it, happy solstice to those of that bent and happy Thursday to the rest of you!
