theentomologist Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Weetabix is Cal's favourite breakfast - what I do is: he gets 2 of them (which is more of them than I can eat!) and I squish them up and then pour cold milk on top. Then I put it in the micro for 45 secs and it's the perfect temp for him. He's now feeding it to himself really well a man of excellent taste. its mine also. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I should maybe have put it in the microwave If he's happy to eat it cold, there's no reason to heat it up. Why are you thinking of decreasing the amount of milk he drinks because he's switched to cows milk? I've never heard of anyone doing that before. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 He'll drink it if he wants it - do you offer it through the day? If you're concerned he's not getting enough dairy from milk, give him cheese, yoghurt etc to make up for it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reina Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Maybe offer during the day then - just before nap time? Obviously every baby is different, but Cal has a breastfeed when he wakes up - half a sippy cup of milk mid morning, then a whole cup of milk after lunch/mid afternoon and a breastfeed at bedtime. That's on top of three meals a day and a couple of snacks. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MB Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Nah he only gets milk in morning bottle, then breakfast then a bottle at bed time, he gets a yoghurt at lunch time and tea time I think it's fair to say they're all a bit different. My son is slightly older than yours, at just over 13 months. We tried him on cow's milk when he turned one but he kept throwing it up, so upon advice we're sticking to formula for the time being. He was breastfed for the first 9 months, with formula slowly introduced after about six months as my wife prepared to go back to work. He eats jars sometimes, but we try to get him to eat our food as much as possible. An average day goes something like this; 7am Bottle of milk 140ml 8am One weetabix or 4 tablespoons of porridge. A slice of bread, or toast. 10.30am fruit 12 noon lunch. Sandwiches, slice of ham, cheese, half a jar or some homemade food, some fruit, small yoghurt. 3.30pm Bottle of milk 140ml. Possibly a biscuit. 5.00pm Same as lunch 7.00pm Bottle of milk 200ml There will also be a snack or two during the day, usually a biscuit or piece of bread. I know he gets plenty of dairy, but it would be good to get him on cow's milk. The little bugger has just woken up as I type this; I think he knows it's time for some milk! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lisa Cuddy Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 No i havnt decreased it, he just didnt want any more than 4 ounces and usually in the morning he takes 7. I dont know if thats because of the change in milk or because he gets more fuller? Apologies, I thought I'd read something about you saying that you thought he'd need less. My mistake. None of mine drank less when they switched to cow's milk, they all just carried on as if they hadn't even noticed the difference. They're all different though and it wouldn't be surprising if it took your little one a couple of days to get used to it - if you spent a year drinking Irn Bru and someone switched it to Cola, you'd notice, wouldn't you? It could also be that he's just not been that hungry for the last couple of days and isn't so interested. Once he's used to it, he'll be back to his normal amounts I'm sure. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RH33 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I think infants need at least a pint of milk a day as a gudeline g-man. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt a kick for the first time this morning, put me in a good mood all day Cheers. I'm looking for as much advice as possible here. Do you ever stop shiteing yourself at any time before the birth? Off to tell my family tomorrow,which for some reason I'm shiteing myself the most about.

Reina Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Do you ever stop shiteing yourself at any time before the birth? Nope, and it doesn't get much better after the birth either 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shuggie_Murray7 Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 Nope, and it doesn't get much better after the birth either I've only known one day, God knows how I'll last 9 months. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
die hard doonhamer Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 I've only known one day, God knows how I'll last 9 months. Look on the bright side, it's probably only about 8 months before it gets here, 1 less month to shit it. Telling my family wasn't fun, mainly because it was so unexpected because of my age. Her family took it great though, were ecstatic straight away. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

die hard doonhamer Posted September 26, 2010 Share Posted September 26, 2010 That's my worry. How old are you? I'm 18. I know a few people who have had kids at my age, and they all say it's the best thing to happen to them. So I can't wait 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
