    Just a note on sleep from my experience. By 1 year old they should be eating/drinking enough in the day that they don’t need to wake for feeds at night, so he probably isn’t waking because he’s hungry even if your supply is lower, it’s more likely he’s waking for comfort and the feeding is just an easy way of giving it. My youngest has just turned 3 and still regularly wakes in the night for a cuddle, he has been a terrible sleeper 😂 regardless of going from Brest, to bottle, to nothing he still needs a cuddle. So I wouldn’t be too worried about stopping the night feeds, it might even improve his sleep as he gets out of the habit of waking for milk fingers crossed!

    I would love to see what you get from the grocery store. That may sound strange, but there are so many different foods that are eaten in different countries and a lot the same too obviously, but seeing it would be fun! I know in a previous video you'd said your monthly grocery allowance and I and many others were FLOORED that you could make it off of that, so being able to see what all you're able to get would really be interesting in my opinion! 😊

    In terms of oryns sleep, I’d say it is definitely down to him sleeping at around 6:30. That’s insanely early, between 7-9 is recommended but 8 is definitely the sweet spot☺️

    Spray some vegetable oil or olive oil on the hinges of the door and move the door open and closed several times, repeat until the squeaking stops. This way you can go about your evenings as you desire!

      you can also get oil sprays specifically for oiling things like door hinges which might work better and have less risk of going rancid over time

    Came across your videos again I’ve been subscribed to you for years since I was a teenager and as someone who struggles with bad periods your period vlogs were really comforting to me as I knew I wasn’t the only one dealing with horrible pain😌 I don’t get to watch much UA-cam videos now as my UA-cam consists of bluey and peppa pig thanks to my toddler🤣 but I’m so glad to see your videos again! You’re doing an amazing job with your son🤍

    Re: multivitamins
    Would oryn eat jelly? You could make homemade jelly and add the multivitamin into it if you are struggling to get it into him. Just make the jelly with a veg/fruit juice, agar agar/gelatin and the multivitamin.

    The daily multivitamin I give my little one is thick liquid you give in a syringe and is strawberry flavour like Calpol. So might be worth looking at a different type that’s easier to give

    My son is 21 months old and it's been months that I haven't given him any milk throughout the night. He has his last milk (about 120-150ml) before bath (cow's milk).. And then only again in the morning after he wakes up..
    I started just diluting it and then going to only water... But then he was waking for water throughout the night for quite some time.
    But now his sleep is pretty good! Never thought I'd say that.. He was a very bad sleeper.

    8:43 Have you tried having a little sip of that yourself to see what it tastes like? Maybe it doesn't taste nice and that's why he doesn't want to drink it. Maybe a different brand would have a flavour he likes better, or you could think about what fruit juice or flavour of squash might complement the flavouring in the multivitamin and give him a vitamin-enriched juice.

    You may be able to prechop and freeze onions for cheaper? Not sure of the price difference in your area or if the convenience is simply worth it! We all have our convenience items!
    Also, does he drink juice any better? Might work for the multivitamin even if it does add a bit of sugar!

  • @rebekah3483
    @rebekah3483 Місяць тому

    When trying new things like the lamb, you could always do half plain or with less intense flavors and then the other half with the seasonings and then try both... I'm sure you could always doctor up the plain ones with a sauce or something for yourself, if he preferred the more flavored ones. Just a thought. It really only takes separating half after mixing once with the base ingredients to hold them together.

    I didn't think babies need formula over the age of one, is there any reason you give it to your little one as well as the breast milk? I breastfeed my 16 month old but night weaned her a couple of months ago which helped reduce her regular night wakes. I often wonder if I'm even producing any milk anymore or if my baby is just sucking for comfort

    A bit more good fats in your diet can help too

    I have a sincerely innocent question here... when you were washing the dishes, i didn’t see you rinse them off after scrubbing them. I've seen this in a few people's videos (usually from somewhere other than the US) and I'm intrigued by this. Is it not something that is done there? Here, the suds would just remain on the dishes and leave a residue I would think, but your's didn't even have suds on them. I really enjoy learning about and seeing the normal things in life from other places and cultures and this reminded me that I'd seen this before, so I thought I'd ask.
    I by no means think that what we do here in the US is THE RIGHT way to do almost anything at this point, so please know I truly am just curious!

    • @SomeoneBeginingWithI
      @SomeoneBeginingWithI Місяць тому +1

      He was allergic to cows milk when he was younger. It took ages to figure it out, but he wasn't gaining weight because Bryony was eating cows milk while she was breastfeeding him, and the protein was transferring over to him through the breastmilk. She made at least one video about it, maybe more. In this one she just mentioned breifly the dietician and giving him a malted milk biscuit as his first try of milk since they found the allergy and eliminated it. There's just a tiny bit of milk in the biscuit but it's a way to try it and see whether he's okay having milk now. It might be a while before he's ready to actually drink cows milk.
