MD - gosh that does sound big. K is somewhere between a 0 and 1 now, I bought all her summer stuff as a 1, but if it's a cooler day she is still right for her 0's. Any idea on what she weighs? K seems stuck on 9.5 kg. (DH just asked if your niece was on steroids lol!!)
Oz - if I know what the reason is, I will try and reason with her, but if she doesn't get it, I generally just leave her for a bit. If opportunities for distraction are around that is handy, but they aren't always there (like this afternoon she was refusing to walk down the ramp from childcare, not really much available for distraction there, so I just picked her up and walked back to the car telling her that it was home time - I suppose it's good she wanted to stay though)
ETA: Science of Parenting had some good stuff on tantrums, I need to read it again to remind myself - do you have that book? I could scan the pages and email it to you if you wanted - PM me.
Rainy - DD lost more than 10% too, but they never asked me about formula, they just got me to pump in the hope of bringing it in faster. I had a Csect though, wasn't yours vaginal, 5 days is a long time for the milk to come in. DH brought up formula because he was worried about DD but I just told him no.
Had to fill in an accident report today, K fell over and hit under her eye on the floor today, so she's getting a black eye. Both eyes are also a bit gunky which was the first sign of her last cold that turned into a shocker, so I really hope she doesn't get badly sick again. Will try and be a better mother this time and get her to the doctor more quickly, poor little poppet.
Time for bed.
