Bed with no milk?
Gabe is 6.5 months and has always loved his milk but tonight for some reason he refused his bedtime feed entirely - wouldn't even have a sip!
He'd had lots of milk (3 7oz bottles) in the day and food (3 meals plus some finger food - toast & bit of mummys cake lol). So maybe he was full. But he's always had a bedtime bottle and though he went to bed fine at 8, I can't help thinking poor baby went to bed with an empty tummy! xx

Mil had him tonight and she says his skin is much better, the thing is I am still having to use the steroid cream every so often as the diprobase doesn't seem to stop it getting worse?
Thanks for the advice girls, I think you're probably right. He is definitely teething,his gums are very very white and he's dribbling like crazy with runny poo! It is just so unlike him, refusing milk.
He's still asleep but tbh i can see him waking soon for a bottle - I'd be surprised if he sleeps thru! xx
The steroid cream cleared it up quickly and she aint had it since, she is 6 now

I used to get sunbeds on the NHS no word of a lie.. lol although started at 36 sec blast! not your usual 6-8 mins! lol
Charlie eats like Gabe 54 ounces of milk a day plus 1 too 2 meals a day depending on how he feels THAT day lol!! xx
and a very happy boy who (mostly... a part from last night!!!!) sleeps thru!
I don't think its anything to worry about, he'll let you know if he's hungry through the night , no doubt about it
Sophie skipped her bottle couple of times and slept through anyway, I guess its just like with adults, we skipp food sometimes (although I can't remeber mysaelf doing this lately ,lol
Maybe you little Gabe fell in love for the very first time and his way to excited to have a bottle ?
I know my lo didn't take as much milk as she usually dies during the day....woke up for 3 feeds....
Going to try giving him a snack instead of milk at 11, see if he is OK with that. xx
Thats fab about Gracie-Faye sleeping through!!! Wow. I think Gabe was a similar age, 7 weeks... he pretty much slept thru every night from then. So you could be lucky. He doesnt now though!
Ccbmommy, how is Charlotte doing with her milk & food now? I am attemping dropping Gabe's 11am feed today - instead he's had a rusk as finger food which he devoured, and lots of water.
Hope it helps him take more milk later x
Good luck with dropping Gabe's milk feed. If he has a snack then I'm sure he wont miss it. It also sounds like he could be teething as Charlotte was the same - but it went on for about 2 months this time!
I wish Gabes teeth would hurry up - I'm constantly wiping up dribble pools lol

She has Dairylea or grated cheese sarnies and I also give her fingers of cheese (which she loves) and fingers of cucumber. As for fruit she's had banana (which she squishes!) and slices of apple.
She has also started to pick up small things so I sometimes give her some sweetcorn and peas on her high chair tray. Oh and when I've had oven chips for tea I've given her one of those.
Well sh's just crawled into the room and there is a certain aroma in the air - lol!!! She's also started to make a new noise. She sounds like she's yodelling (sp?) - it's very funny!
Well, he did want the bottle after all, he's just had 6oz and gone down for his nap. It feels like I'm feeding him all day with 4 bottles - might keep the snack and see how he goes over the next few days. xx
