Its not that structured at the mo but if he doesnt have his feeds at exactly these times he turns into the :twisted: !!!

All the hours inbetween those set hours are usually filled with power naps, going out and about, tantrums, moaning, whinging, shouting at his hands (which he seems to do alot of recently?! :think: ) and nakey nappy off time which normally involves me wiping up his little accidents. Why is it when little boys have their bits out they just have to pee! :roll:
