Yesterday we went and had Mr T weighed and were staggered at how much he's put on over the last two weeks! He now weighs in at 14lb7.5oz (or 6.57kg!). We were worrying that he wouldn't be gaining as much as normal as his feeding is all over the place. He used to feed to 10-15 minutes every two hours during the day and now it's 3 minutes here, 5minutes there, and he's even started to wake every two hours at night which he's not done for ages. Last night we put him to bed at 7.30pm as normal and he woke up at 8.30pm, 10.30pm, 12.30pm, 2.30pm, 6am!! I am very tired but what can we do when he still refuses a bottle? The health visitor said it is ok to start him on solids when he's 17 weeks old, and as that's next Friday hopefully he'll start sleeping through th night again soon. She also advised that the only way to get him to take a bottle is for me to leave leave him Simon (or Nana) for 8-10 hours (or as long as it takes) and that he'll take something when he's hungry enough. So rather then breaking him in gently the poor little boy will be going cold turkey one weekend soon...but don't tell him as he doesn't know it yet!!
Right I'm off to bed now as he's fast asleep and I'm sitting here wishing I was!
