Oliver's routine is 7.00am - Wake him, if not already awake - Breastfeed 8.30am - Breakfast (Weetabix, Shreddies, ReadyBrek and a slice of toast(with marmite, jam or cheese spread)) 10.00am - Snack (cake, fruit, yogurt or rice cakes) 11.30am - Dinner (hot meal, spoon fed & pudding) Nap (usually...

Yeah this sound slike the stomach bug Oliver had 2 weeks ago. He was sick everyday for about a week (sometimes only once a day, but at it's peak about 6 times in a day). He was off his food & his poo was really pale beige, slimy & smelly. Took him to the Dr's but they weren't interested - said...

For me the thought of it ended up being soooo much worse than the reality. I was dreading going back to work.... partly not wanting to give up spending time with my son, partly feeling jealous that others would be spending so much quality time with him (would he still love me the best?), partly...

I quite often call Oliver "Moschops" .... it was a cartoon dinosaur from the 80's when I was little :oops: :lol: :rotfl:

Yeah, it takes a while for them to get the hang of it anyway, so wont replace any of the milk feeds right now. At first, and for months Oliver was only drinking about 1/2 a cup a day. Now that he's a year old and only on 2 milk feeds a day I'd say he drinks about 2 cups per day. I offer it to...

I cook Oliver spanish omelette which he loves to eat cut in wedges as finger food.

Oliver drools LOADS. His tops get absolutely soaked on a daily basis. he's never particulary grumpy though. He'a a late starter tho - he's only got 2 teeth so far. The first one arrived at 11months, and the 2nd 2 weeks later.

Not really any advice as such - just wanted to send you some :hug: as I know what you're going through. Oliver actually slept in his own room from about 7wks - so I didn't have any problems as such at that point, and he was in a lovelly routine for months... But then from the age of about...

12 months and 1 week1 :cheer:

I suppose I should be grateful for going this long really.... Oliver turned 1year last week - and my body obviously decided enough is enough. Last night I had a bit of stomach cramp & then today I got my first period back. :( :( :(

I was just about to post this question.... I'm obviously an overly paranoid mum as have only just considered it might be ok not to boil & Oliver turned 1yr this week! :oops: :lol: :wall:

My LO is just coming up to a year old. He's been exclusively breastfed & is currently on 2 per day (morning & before bed). The thing is he doesn't like to drink ANY milk from his cup. He'll have a couple of sips, but won't glug it back like he does his water. I was thinking about dropping his...

Oliver was a late starter too. Got his 1st just before X-mas at 11months 1 week. Then his 2nd came through 2 weeks later (a few days ago). :cheer:

I reckon it's swings n roundabouts with regards to development of prem babies.... Oliver was born at 34 wks weighing 5lbs 4oz - but quickly overtook a lot of babies born on time weight-wise. He was also one of the first in my mum & baby group to be sitting unsupported at about 6months.... but...

Oliver has had a bad stomach & abnormal poo's for over a month now. He started off with a stomach bug including diahorea and vomiting (which I also caught & several memebers of my family). This cleared up - but his stomach is still not right. Every few soiled nappies is really slimy & smelly &...
