Re: Whinging Pom House seller
my youngest wouldnt take a bottle at all - ever ... so by three months he could drink out of a beaker with a spout (one of the ones that if you tip them upside down the milk pours out) - he wouldnt even have one of the beakers with the 'soft spouts' that they suck on.
The trouble for him was that a bottle needs a different sucking action to a breast and he just couldnt get anything out of the bottle! Bless him he is three now and you can see when he sucks he is still using his tongue!!
It could be that your nephew is having the same problem so you could even just try a plastic cup.

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
i tried just about EVERY beaker in the shops - i had drawers full of them - he wouldnt use any except the old fashioned ones with the big moulded spout with holes in it 
he is still an awkward little so and so ... knows his own mind ... i wonder where he gets that from

Re: Whinging Pom House seller
OK - finally have two minutes to talk house sale ...
nice man from letting agency turned up this morning - told me rent would be around what i was expecting. Nothing new here then other than we can now do a serious budget to see if we can afford to go down this route ... more later.
this afternoons viewer (yes i know i didnt tell you but it was arranged last minute!) arrived with half her extended family in tow
she asked all the wrong question (well wrong from my point of view) and they went around the house doing things like checking doors closed and what sort of insulation we had (seemed very put out that we didnt have a combi boiler for our central heating/hot water
)
anyway feedback from EA was that she liked the house and has gone to confer with her family and will get back to them in a couple of days.
i am taking this to mean that we will never hear from her again
ok got to go again for a bit - will be back later
