Once they are out of nappies it is plain sailing for a few years I think

Then they start drinking and pissing in wardrobes

1105

Absolutely. You don’t want Kev to be finding out you changed to bottles too early. Or if you do, at least make sure it’s fennel tea and goats milk.

regarding bottles , after id say 4 weeks we had to begin supplementing the breastmilk with baby formula.
so every 3 hours if she was breastfeeding it would be a bottle of 60ml or of she didnt breastfeed it would be 90ml.
Muggins here then would get a jab in the back at 2am each night, and be informed, " im just breastfeeding him 10 mins either side and then you can make the bottle"… at 5am , “im not going to breastfeed now can you make a bottle of 90ml,” cue me stumbling out to the kitchen to mix materna, cornflour and a mixture of hot and cold boiled water… this continued for about 3-4 months… nightmare

I just used make up a bottle at bedtime and stick it under the duvet. Perfect temperature then whenever the snappers woke up. Saves a long cold soul destroying trek downstairs.

1113

that’s good thinking, id be spilling the water and everything often id be so fucked

Our little fella still gets three bottles. He cant have any solids as he has no teeth. Well, he probably has teeth but his gums are enlarged as part of his condition and they cant break through. He gets a bottle between 4am and 5 am. He has serious sleep issues despite being on a sedative. I get on average about 4 hours sleep a night. He would start off in his cot but would move in bed next to me by about 11.30pm.

1115

would you not be afraid you’d roll over on top of the fella fenners? im scared shitless of that, also we had some nurse here telling us that as we are exhaling Co2 it could suffocate him, that now is a bit far fetched

His mum is in another room. He is only the size of a 4 month old and I have him on one half of the bed. To be honest, I like being close to him. He wakes about every 30-40 minutes. It sounds tough but you just get into a routine.

Wife is gone for a lie down, baby is sitting her in the crib beside me gurgling away, while I have a beer and watch the Athletics. Winning.

1118

Great times mate. All the tiredness in the world is worth it.

1119

I know mate, still think they should have the Europeans every year though.
