HI
Wow its been quiet in here! I hope everyone is going ok.
Well it looks like ethan may have another 2 teeth on the way, 2nd bottom middle one and one of the top middle ones. He has been SUPER grumpy today and his poo's have been horrible, so causing some red rashyness on his bottom, poor little tyke.
I have been feeling a bit yuck all day so really didnt do much at all, and am planning on that for the rest of the night. Im not up for personals sorry. Will try tomorrow if i feel better.
Bye
Well the photo shoot was great! She showed us one of Lucas in his bonds hoodie and it was awesome! I think we will spend a fortune!
Em - i was just wondering what info you managed to find out about the importance of milk at this age when Tom was off it? It is getting ridiculous here...60ml out of a bottle is a battle! I am so over it and have run out of ideas and i dont know what to do. I know they should have a certain amount but i am just wondering the implications if they dont because regardless of what he should have he WONT have it. AAARRRRRRRRHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Jess - Good luck with the teeth cutting! We've have the top two coming through for ages and it hasnt been fun, they are basically through now though.
Must go watch the end of House!

Megan - poor you! I really really feel for you and understand how frustrating it is. The info I found in a few books was that from 9 months they really only need around 500ml of dairy whether it be through bottle/breast or what they get through your cooking and other dairy products. At the height of T's bottle refusual, I gave him yoghurt after both lunch and dinner, added a bit of milk and cheese to his dinner, and gave him Weetbix for breekie. You how Weetbix soak up the milk as they sit there - I just kept adding milk to them as he ate and could usually get about 180-200ml into him through breakfast. Did you try adding a little bit of cow's milk to his bottle? I was felt bad about doing it but there is a little bit in the BabyLove book about using cow's milk - and from this age she doesn't seem to think it is too much of a drama. At the moment we are getting two bottles of about 150ml and a bedtime one of 210ml which is so much better than him drinking 60ml over two whole days. Sooo frustrating. Good luck!
