Thank you for the reply!
worried as he’s being quite picky right now with food
we give baby L some boots vitamin syrup. It's a weird orange squash type flavour but he seems ok with it in a spoon. Might that work if he is happy to take calpol?Does anyone else give their little ones vitamins? and what works for you?
We have the wellbaby ones that you mix into their milk or water. And we had been putting it in milk fine ever since he was on cows milk. He used to drink the lot with no problem. But since he’s started refusing his milk I’m not sure what to do. I’ve tried putting it in water but he won’t touch that, I’ve tried even half the dose in water but it’s still gross and I don’t blame him for not touching it !!
Thinking about putting it in his food, like the milk in his weetabix, but worried he might go off it
maybe we need to find a different one that’s easier to get in to him ? I don’t know
You can get a well baby version that they can have directly from the syringe which is what my little boy has. I haven't seen it everywhere but usually get it from Morrisons.Does anyone else give their little ones vitamins? and what works for you?

oh and he threw his toys back into the toy box earlier to clean up which was great however I can’t leave drawers open as it’s game over, I lose. He wants to grab for everything in sight and then throw it, I swear I have a comedian on my hands. He makes this noise as he’s throwing too ‘daaaa’ it’s actually funny. He had a late nap today so he’s pacing up and down the room as I type this, laughing to himself then up and down in front of the mirror. I’m hoping it will tire him out because I’m exhausted 
he then does it with food he doesnt fancy that day and then his water cup sometimes. any toys on a sofa? everything must be thrown onto the floor. It gets a bit tiring constantly picking up everything but I'm guessing they grow out of it?Similar stuff going on here (15mo) and he's also fighting being put in the high chair and buggy 80% of the time.Mini justme 16 months is going through a phase at the moment of throwing things from the high chair, cot, pram, car seat, bath, just sitting…absolutely everywhere. I’ve lost count of the times throughout the day that I gently say ‘no’ and explain not to do it but of course he doesn’t understand. There used to be a time where I could leave him with a few toys in the cot and he would happily play independently. Not anymore. I put the toys in, he throws them out, then stares at me for a reaction. The same with his bath toys which then just leaves him looking bored in the bath as if to say what’s next, I think he believes it’s a game? I don’t know. The only time the throwing is helpful is when I’m getting him to help with separating the laundry and throwing the clothes into the right pile
Any idea how long the throwing phase lasts for and any tips/advice on how to encourage not doing it?
Baby L keeps picking things off the floor or table/shelf and handing them to me and I have nowhere to put them because all the surfaces he can't reach are full 🫠 I feel very judged about my tidiness tbhI'm not sure how to stop it but my 15m has been doing the same the last month or so, so I feel your pain.
When I'm making his breakfast or lunch I put him in the high chair and all the toys I leave with him quickly get lobbed off
we've had to rearrange a few things in our living room just so they're no longer accessible to him. He used to pull every single games case off the shelf and then pull the consoles off to..
We had the fighting to go in high chair / car seat / pram for a while. Was a nightmare, he’d just straighten himself out or wrestle with you but with advice from the new baby thread I tried bribing him with a couple of snacks each time, which worked fine! So maybe try a snack or maybe a toy/something to hold could work?Similar stuff going on here (15mo) and he's also fighting being put in the high chair and buggy 80% of the time.
No tips I'm afraid, in fact I think I accidentally encourage the throwing because I'm lazy and keep forgetting not to do it in front of him

Baby L went through a short phase of neatly putting his spoons in the bowl when he'd finished eating and I was like yesss I've cracked this parenting thing. Then yesterday he finished each course by throwing his cutlery at meThrowing is part of the trajectory schema. It helps them learn about the world. You can encourage throwing soft toys, and let them climb as much as you can. My 16 month old is fully in the throes of this and he loves to lob his drink at you at the table
We had to pick up baby L from nursery because he was sick twice. They called to say he'd been sick and by the time I got downstairs to tell Mr L, they were already calling to say he'd been sick again. He just looks so tired and sad
hope he’s feeling better soon and it’s over quick xxThank you, this is his first sickness bug so we're worrying a lot! He went to sleep just after 7pm so hopefully the rest is helping him.
