Aw poor Teddy, hope his on the mend then. Really dr's said not to give dioralite? to be honest most of time Hollie brought it all back up, she's not been having any milk though just cos milk makes the sickness worse. I think she's not the mend she' s seems a bit more with it and had dinner tonight and kept it down just chicken and veg. I'm not sure if it was a bug I think we're had food poisoning x

Hope ur two babies are getting better, nothing worse when their ill and you any do anything.
Going through a phase with Amelia at the mo, she is waking every night and has done for weeks and weeks, I think he is waking for her dummy but not sure, she can wake once or twice or 5-10 times some nights. We rush in her room and give her dummy and she goes back off so I have a feeling she is getting used to us going in. I bought a sleepy tot test which her dummies attach too and I have tried it last few nights. She woke once last night and I left her to cry for 5 mins and he put her dummy back in herself and went back to sleep so going to try the same tonight
Need it to stop as so tired lately

Thanks Tez,
If I was having a big party then I wouldn't mind paying that much but if it was just a small tea party then I would just buy a cake from Asda, Morrison's etc, the cake does sound lovely I'm jealous lol
We going soft play and meal out with friends for Hollie's birthday, I wasn't sure if she was going be well enough for party and the weather is rubbish at the moment, its much nicer having babies in the summer I remember that next time! x

hi hun just thought id jump in quickly.
dylan is 14 months and still has his morning and evening bottle. he stopped having his afternoon bottle around 10 and a half months, but was running round like a nutter by then and wouldn't sit still for it, and wouldnt drink much so i think its best to keep giving it them till they start drinking less or refuse it. i replaced it with a small snack.
at around 11 months i started giving him a cup of cows milk during the day with his lunch (just to get used to the taste), and after a couple of weeks switched his morning bottle to cows milk, then by the time he had his 1st birthday he was having only cows milk. i know lots of people just do a straight swap from formula to cows milk but i wanted to ease it in slightly. also stopped sterilizing at this time.
sorry if thats not very helpful lol, was just my experience- i was constantly asking others for how and when to do it, and for a while i was very keen to cut out the bottles but now he's a big bigger im glad he has his bottles. he doesnt really need the morning one anymore but it stops him wanting snacks before his lunchtime nap so i think ill keep giving it for a couple more months x

Thanks so much Hun what u have sed is a big help.
Amelia finishes off all 3 bottles at Mo so ill leave her a few weeks and she may start having less of her tea bottle and then maybe cut it out. Mi think what u did with the cows milk is a great idea of introducing it and I think I may try that too?

I stopped sterilising at 5 months they say sterilising is pointless once baby starts crawling and or putting things in his her mouth but it's different for each person and there's no harm what so ever in keep sterilising. Naomi has cows milk in food, I'll introduce it when she's 10 months in a couple weeks as a drink then swap completely by a year. Glad Amelia seems back is in routine xx

I think I will stop sterilising as sometimes it just adds more time.
Is it best to introduce Amelia onto cows milk when I have her down to two bottles instead of three?
Also every dippy cup I try she drinks to much and chokes every time, does anyone else have this prob?

yeah everyone says different things for sterilizing. i stopped just before he turned one, but i no others who have stopped at 6 months
i found the straw type cups were good when he struggled before going onto those free flow ones x

Hollie's still on formula I'll change her when I think she's ready I'm debating between cow's milk or growing up milk.
I have tried her with a little bit of cow's milk but she wasn't keen on it but will probably try when she's back to her normal self, she does have cow's milk with food though but if I do go for cow's milk I give it to her gradually as well and carry on giving formula for her evening feed for a little while.
I stopped sterilising her bottles around 9 months but with my other two girls I sterilised up to a year but its a personal choice xx
