If it's not getting in your way I would keep it for now!
Stevie was 6 months when we stopped feeding in the night. Dream feeding didn't work for him as he still woke up but then just wasn't hungry! We didn't stop the night feed until he was weaning!
The HV did 'tell me off' for that, but because of his special milk I wasn't sure if it stayed in his tummy as long as a normal milk! (I'm crazy I know!!) but getting up once a night didn't kill me so I just did it!
Only took him 3 nights to get used to no feed then!
Sorry to b a pest anyway, what age will they test for allergies?? I'm planning an ringing my HV today but I'm not sure she is clued up on allergies to know of this is a soya thing or just a bad coincidence :-/ xx

We did it for a short time but it didn't make a difference to us, Cole still woke up four hours later. So we just dropped it and he started sleeping 7-4 then had a bottle then slept until 7. Then one day he just didn't wake up for his 4-5am bottle and that was it. Every now and then he has a bottle in the night because if something wakes him up he realises he's hungry so then wants feeding. But that's less than once a week and it means he sleeps until 8-8.30am then so we don't mind
I'd personally just let Ben decide when he wants a feed as he may just drop it himself but it's what works for you xxx

Cai - they don't really like to test babies formally as it's very unreliable and by 2 years a lot of allergies have been outgrown. However it does depend on the specialist you see, when I was doing paeds the specialist would test 1 year olds (skin prick) the other more common route is what you are doing now; try the foods etc and see what the reaction is. Keep a diary but a good way is to get a phone book and list alphabetically eg.
Apple no reaction
Banana 14/7/14 blotchy rash chest
Banana 1/8/14no reaction
Egg - seamed to have tummy ache and diarrhoea 12/7/14
Then you can build up a directory and refer back easily xx

Love the directory idea!!
Seeing as my diary is a 2014 one I've got January-June totally u touched!!
I rung my HV again to ind she was off on leave. However I spoke to someone else (a HV) who said she will refer us to the paediatrician and/or dietician
until then, I'm to stick to dairy free and now soya free Apart from being constipated and having to really push to fill his nappy, he seems in top form today!
Hope it doesn't take forever for the referral to come through!! Although feel like a weight has even taken from me now xx

Completely different question topic now...teeth.
I felt Stevie's 3rd tooth last night and today when I had a proper feel it's not a front tooth but I side one...
When we were out at the park he was laughing and I was trying to see it. He was relaxed so I peeled his top lip back and I could see 4 or 5 teeth!! I don't think they have broken the gum, so is that where they are before or is he getting a lot of teeth at once?? Xx

I found that, I could see hers under her gums for ages, they looked some days like they were about to poke through and then other days were hardly noticeable. Then they just appeared but in the order they are supposed to. If he doesn't seem bothered I wouldn't worry xx

Have any of you ladies taken your little ones swimming yet?
I'm planning to take Oliver once he's 3 months old and I've ordered him some swimming trunks and armbands...
What I want to know is if anyone has used those Huggies little swimmers and if they are any good?

We've been once when Cole was about 4.5 months old. He liked it until I put him in his inflatable seat
We used the little swimmers and had no problems with them at all.

Yes we go regularly. Little swimmers are good. Not used armbands though x

Ok cool thanks.
I got the armbands simply cos they were cheap and they are ages 3-24 months so we have them for when he needs them later on.
I'll buy a pack of little swimmers as a back up but will prob try out this swimming trunks over a nappy first.
I love swimming, so I'm looking forward to taking my boy

Yeah we use the Huggies swim nappies and then he has an all in one tigger swim outfit. We may get a rubber ring thing once he can swim a bit but at the moment we are trying to teach him to swim without aid. I'm trying to decide whether to do swim lessons or not. They are pretty expensive and I'm not convinced it's anything more than I do with him already. X

Yeh I must admit I'm considering just taking him on my own as the parent and toddler sessions are £5 a time here
money we don't have! I love the sound of the Tigger swim outfit
