Hi Dana,

It sounds like are bubs are all very busy little beans hey!!

Milk - I started Sara on milk with breakfast and in cooking at 11months. Then last week I started putting milk in her day time bottles 1/2 milk and 1/2 formula. Her poos are a bit on the loose side, but I heard that this is normal. I decided to give her milk now because she is not fussed on bottles through the day and she is a very good eater. So in her diet she is getting a huge variety of food anyway. When she turns 1 yo I am going to give her all milk drinks during the day. I will continue formula until this tin is finished.

You can refer to the thread on Feeding Babies and also there is a thread on toilet training as well.

My friend had 2 boys who were fully toilet trained by 18mnths and she suggested to use summer time as on opportunity to put bub in trainer pants and let them feel themselves wetting their pants. This apparently helps them to associate the need to go to the toilet. She also suggested to to this outside with a potty close by.

All the best for your family.

I am going to try this but I am not going to push this issue, I also think a bub has to be mentally ready to this. I have had friends worrying themselves sick because their 2year olds weren't toilet trained and then all of a sudden it happend in one week (when the child was ready).
