Thanks it’s definitely a countdown to that time as we both live for bikes!

We’ve got a special dummy coming tomorrow that you can put medicine into while he’s using it, proving hard to get him to take it while he’s awake so this is the best way 😆

It does get easier, we went through this with our eldest (and the youngest too, not as bad thankfully and we had a good idea what the early signs meant) she was eventually diagnosed with cows milk protein allergy, she also had to have omeprazole for reflux. We used variflow teats too, it reduced how hard she had to suck which reduced the air intake, the neocate formula she was prescribed mixed up a little thicker than normal ones too)
We were somewhat lucky in that she was a greedy baby (sadly this hasn’t changed even though she’s nearly 6 now) and would happily swallow anything she was given so getting the omeprazole into her was easy, once she was weaning we were able to open the capsules and spread them on to pureed fruit and spoon it in (she was upped to 20mg pretty quickly)
The omeprazole was a game changer, she was much happier once the dosage caught up to her needs.

The bikes will come back, it won’t be the same as pre children but you’ve got the joy of family adventures to look forward to now as well, get yourself a macride or shotgun seat and get them hooked on bikes too.

So having is one thing, getting him to take it is another….he keeps spitting it out, we bought a dummy you use to then put the medicine in and again he’s not really going for it. We just had our first night away in the Peak District though and he was spot on, we both had a bit of a moment as he laid asleep in his pram and we actually got to eat together too which was so nice! Has been much better behaved and helped with the cabin fever getting away for a night just outside chatsworth 👍

Nice. Those first trips away are so important.

We also found it seems to have made our kids great at travelling. Can do multiple 8 hour days of driving without screens since they were tiny.

Oh ours too, he can be crying his eyes out and as soon as the car starts going he falls asleep which is brilliant and is just like his Mum!! Whereas I can never ever fall asleep…!
