Charly - thanks for your warm wishs. Aiden hasnt discoved his toes yet either... although, he knows he has legs... he uses them every time i put a blanket on him..
And sorry, but your post was sooo funny. Scary, as i think all of will read that and think, that could be us one day. I was actually as the shops the other week, and lady had her little boy, about 3, must of been toilet trained and had done a #2 accicdent, and it was everywhere. Poor love. Things we must put up with and deal with.
Sarah - Aiden has 4 bottles a day, of 210ml. When he was on 180ml a bottle, he would have maybe 6bottles, plus the 2 solids. What i do is i offer him a bottle for breakfast, let him take as much as he wants, then about 30min later, i give him solids, which is about 25grams (1/4 a jar). Then, bottles as he needs for the rest of the day. About 7ish, he has solids again (depending on when he had his last bottle, i leave it about an hour after his last bottle - and depends on when we eat as well).
Apparently, until they are 9months old, you should always offer bottle first, solids second as they get more nutritents etc from the milk. He also sits at the dinner table now with us, in his high chair and has a rusk while we eat our tea. Working on the theory thats its good habits for him to get into.
Does that answer your question?
Thanks for your info re the NAN as well, it makes sense. I will introduce it slowly, although he has never had issues with swapping formula, i noticed a thread on here not so long ago, someone had problems with her baby when she put him/her onto the stage 2 tin. I think the baby got constipated.
