Felix Update

The saga of the bottle continues, we have now tried Avent, Tommy Tippee and Pigeon bottles and teats all with no joy. My friend Karen has suggested the Nuke brand which we will try next. Felix sees the bottle coming, closes his mouth tightly and pushes it away with his hands, he's a determined wee boy. We will keep trying and let you know how we get on, I'm going to have a day home with him next week and just keep trying without caving him and giving him the boob (well I'll try, I'm not very good at just letting him cry). We have also had a sipper cup suggested which will be our last resort as I return to work in 2 weeks and the poor wee fella will starve!

Everything else is going well with Felix, he is taking to solids well now up to two feeds per day, one at lunch and dinner time. His sleeping is ok, he still wakes twice during the night but the feeds only last 10 minutes so its not too bad.

We went into town today to buy some new clothes for work, it makes returning to work exciting. I have thoroughly enjoyed the last six months being home with my boys and I will hate leaving them but I do love my job and the boys are in safe hands with Lee so it will be fine. The first 2-3 weeks are the hardest as I will miss them terribly and Lee will have to sort out his routine, once we get through those weeks it will be easier.
