has come back with no obvious sign of infection, but still has nitrates and some contamination in, so the drs are wanting to test again after the anti-biotics are all gone.
Got another pad today to put in his nappy, should be done with anti-bs by friday Fingers crossed it was just a UTI and he won't need to go to hospital for tests!!!

I'm so proud of him though, today he actually ate!!!
he had a full slice of toast for brekkie, a cheese sarnie, organix snacks, 10 raspberries, a block of cheese (not an actual block ) and a fruit bar
he also was still hungry afterwards so he also had 5 cherry tomatoes
then we got home and he has just drank 9oz of milk and is fast asleep next to me
back to being my lil chubba (hopefully!!)

ps sorry if i bore anyone with nonsensical baby talk, but i'm a proud mummy

well done benji, he is deffo getting his appetite back!

thats a cracking amount

that's great Lou!! better you feel much better that he's eating again

thanks ladies, just thought i'd share because i got so excited at the fact he'd actually eaten...never mind eaten the most finger foods he's ever eaten EVER
i said ever a lot there haha x

I'm so glad he's getting better. I was wondering whether anything would show up in his sample. Poor little soldier,'he's been through the wars but it looks lime he's coming out the other side xx

aww that's great - even when eli doesn't feel like eating he is much more likely to go for it with finger foods

benji hasnt eatne much again today, half a half of a piece of toast, 6oz of bottle and a slice of potato :/
so worried he's not getting enough...

maybe just leave some things kicking about, a cup of water, a lump of cheese, a few organix snacks...and ignore them, that might entice him

mari, he can't walk/crawl so he would have to be sat in his highchair/on the floor...he doesn't bother with food at all... seems to me like he just doesn't/can't be bothered...

thats what i mean, plonk him on the floor an have a few bits of food nearby/within reach and a few toys and leave him to it for a bit

i will try that when he's awake again...thanks mari i know i can always get some advice from you, you must live on here
"dear aunt mari"

sad innit, you wouldnt believe i am also wrestling elijah haha (check out my muscles!!!)

well done two things at once...you're super mum

Try not to fret overmuch hon he will pick it back up once hes well again. Last autumn and winter c literally picked up every bug it was possible to for about 6 months and lost about a pound in weight then since crimbo has gained 3!!!

hard not to worry though mario...he's lost 2 pound and 1.1/2 oz dropped from 81st to 50th centile and is not himself...dunno what he's eaten today as he's out with his daddy... first time ever may i add lol
so i will find out how much he's eaten, i'm keeping a food diary to note down what he is eating, and introducing stuff to him that he hasn't had in a few days, so it's not all the same boring stuff...he has no problem eating chocolate though found that out yday
xx

Oh i know its hard not to worry chick. C went from between 9th and 25th down to 2nd so was heading for bottom of chart and you do fret. But he will come out otherside of it eventually and probably eat you outta house and home xxx

If he likes toast have you tried him wit peanut butter? Lots of good fats in that. We also put olive oil in C's pasta, cheese is ace too and yoghurts. Um, sorry thiking what else we used-flapjacks are good if he has a sweet tooth. Best of luck xxx

thats brill lou it will start to get better, glad the sample was clear.

char

fab hope he starts feeling himself soon!!!
