woot 1st reply!!!!

Meg- poor thing, nothing worse then feeling so so tired.

Shell- was great to meet you too.



I have no idea what the deal with Annika is atm, she eats fine but always wants a bottle and man can she scream and work herself into such a fit over it. Specially in the middle of the night.

I have now changed her onto some sippy cups and have decided yes i will give her the confort she wants when she scream but have decided to water down the milk alot, 50/50.

Maybe she will not want it so much if it is watered down. ( I am also using lite milk with her too, as full cream turned her pooh umm very pale)

Bea this is what i have been told to do. Water the bottles down slowly and then offer at the same time a sippy cup with full cream milk. They will realise in the end all they want is full cream milk and not the watery stuff. Has worked for this person and many others. I will be doing it myself in the next few days.

Yep, I got that advice too. Although it is not an issue here.
J and I went to a play centre today. Hoepefully he will go straight to bed tonight.

I turn 32 tomorrow! Gee I feel old.

Hope you have a great day tomorrow Meg.

Beatrix-As far as I know, it is not good for young children to have lite milk. As far as the excess bottles go. I would try to water down full-cream milk, bit by bit. However only for the middle of the night extra bottle. As appossed to doing it heaps straight away as she will probably just chuck an extra big wobbly about it. Then eventually hopefully she will only want it when she wants a drink, not for comfort. With everything that is going on, she may be having trouble dealing with it all. I hope that things settle down soon, and sometimes even though it sucks, no matter what we do as parents they will still yell and scream and carry on. Goodluck.

Have my big scan tomorrow morning. Will update you all tomorrow night.

I'm on my way to bed, but Helen! I can't believe you're almost 19 weeks!

Everyone's pregnancies have just flown...
