megs: yeah im too scared to drop it incase she wakes up in the middle of the nite for a feed and then cant get back into the routine!! but the formula tin says she should only be having 3-4 bottles
she has 180ml water plus formula so works out to about 200ml but hardly ever takes the whole lot, usually leaves 40 or 50ml, and ive tried spacing her out to only give her 4 bottles but she just cant do it!
Emma - i remember with ds1 dropping feeds he'd have less and less at a feed or consistantly leave more than half, so id skip it the next day. She will let you know she wants it if she does, and it sounds like shes pretty good at letting you know what she wants

Em, I say give it a go and see if it works! I know what you mean about not wanting to mess with things in case it doesn't work out.
Ray, I'm sorry you've had to go back full time so soon There's no flexibility to work from home at all? I have to make some big decisions soon regarding my work. My maternity leave is up in February but I've had two good job offers. These jobs are less secure but better money, I could do them from home if I wanted, and they are better career prospects. But they are also subcontractor jobs which mean no sick leave, no long service leave, no paid annual leave, having to do my own bookwork... so I'm torn.
Tom is eating solids - he doesn't like much baby food but likes to munch on stuff. He loves sandwiches and toast and fruit, is a bit "meh" on pureed food although he likes the raffertys vegies and meat things. We just give him crusts of whatever, even the odd chip (naughty me) and he sucks it to death. He likes drinking water but makes a horrible mess. Gee, what does his routine look like... he's cutting down on breastfeeds now so it looks like this:
2am breastfeed, straight back to sleep
6am breastfeed, lies in bed hitting me until I get up
9am breastfeed, then sleep for 1/2 - 1 hour
11.30am breastfeed, sandwich or piece of fruit, sleep 1-2 hours
3pm breastfeed, nap for 1/2 hour maybe
6pm breastfeed then dinner, vegies or whatever we're having
7.30pm breastfeed, then sleep.
11pm dreamfeed
He's the world's happiest baby - I wish all my babies had been as happy as him! I hope he's like this for the rest of his life!! He's also extremely outgoing - all the others were a bit clingy and shy, but his favourite part of the week is passing the peace at church when he gets to cuddle and chat with everyone!
Megs, I hope Jack's mouth is feeling better. Who else hasn't got any teeth yet? No sign at all with Tom (though he's biting me horribly regardless, the little blighter).
Tom's not happy with sitting up any more - he's taken to hurling himself across the floor, rolling everywhere and trying to get on his hands and knees. He's a bit later than the girls were but I hope he doesn't crawl for a good while yet - they are harder when they are mobile! Even so I can't really leave him alone for long any more (not that I really *left* him, but ykwim). And I have to vaccuum a LOT now!
She been logged in to msn i will buzz her next time i see her online.
Hope things are going OK Emma, your fb seems like people are giving you a hard time - remember that you are the mum, they are your choices to make and no one else can make them for you. You ust take what you want from the "advice" people give and ignore the rest.
