Yes, Glam
Oh oh.. muchos happy
I PMed a poster from the OS board earlier today because she'd mentioned making apple scone - I used to make it at school (food tech) but I've lost the recipe. She's just sent me hers and it sounds like the exact one I used to have Will have to get the ingredients tomorrow. Healthy cake - yes? 
ETA:
AF, he did have three cubes of mashed potato with double cream, cheese and butter added in Normally, he had all homemade mashed veggies (some have cream in too) with some chicken or beef, but I bought those to try him on new flavours before I spent time/money/effort buying and making from scratch - plus it's Friday so he's allowed a "ready meal" (we had chippy tea). I've got to make up some more veggies this weekend so going to get some more meat and white fish and make up something different. Will be the first time I've made a mix of mush then frozen it - always been a selection of mush cubes of one flavour each, iyswim
ETA again:
Caz, I'd be sat feeding him in A&E and let them see him in action and clean up after him if it were me.. :cool: *hugs* for you and your sis xx0 -
Please, please, please share the recipe Elle! :DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator

Glam - you putting Jack in his cot/own room tonight? We starting with C on Sunday night (cos OH on lates next week and doesn't have to get up early - he up early at weekends for golf).
Anyone any tips for movin LO to own room? I'm dreading it. She moves right to the edge of her crib and sticks her arm through the bars to be near me at the mo (when she not in bed with me) and just thinking of her being alone makes me want to cry. Gonna give her the same bedding/sleeping bag and teddy. Any other helpful tips?
Thanks
Oh NMS - we went swimming today. C loved it but had had enough after 45 mins so we got out. She was asleep before we got to the car in my arms - it's unheard of!!!

Not all the stations have lifts so we may have to be careful where we meet - unless some nice city gents help us up the stairsGlam - you putting Jack in his cot/own room tonight?

Any tips for getting 8 week old to sleep in cot altogether where ever it is - I really want to sleep in my own bed !!!Mum to 2 lovely boys who keep me busy.0 -
GISI
8oz plain flour
½ tsp salt
2 x tsps baking powder
2oz butter or marge
2oz caster sugar
1 med sized cooking apple, peeled , cored and coarsely grated
4 tbsps milk
To Glaze
1 tbsp demerara sugar (but you can use caster sugar)
A little milk- Sieve together flour, salt and baking powder.
- Rub in the butter.
- Add the sugar, then the grated apple and add enough milk to make a soft but not sticky dough.
- Turn the dough onto a floured surface and knead lightly. (I then wrap in a little cling film and allow it to rest in the fridge for half an hour not neccessary but I find it helps )
- Roll out to an 8 inch circle and place on a greased and floured baking sheet.
- Score the scone into 8 pieces.
- Brush the top with milk and sprinkle with sugar.
- Bake at 200c/gas 6 for 20 - 25 mins or until well risen and golden brown.
- Place on a cooling rack too cool.
Weezl's weetabix cake got a mention too!) 0 -
Maz- sorry to be thick but where are you and William both sleeping at the moment? Do you use a sleeping bag?:DYummy mummy, runner, baker and procrastinator

Maz i'm no help I'm afraid. Since 11 weeks, C has been in our bed every night from 2am ish. Before 11 weeks she only woke twice a night and I thought we had struck lucky. OH has now been relegated to the spare room. Thats why I need to put her in her own room. It's just so hard :-(
ETA we tried: sleeping bag/no bag
Blankets rolled up either side so she felt more secure
Swaddling slightly
Heating/no heating
Hot water bottle in crib before we put her down
Muslin over her face
Not tried sleeping on front but its not a position she likes when awake
Erm...
By 2am I am just so tired, it's easier to bring her in with me.

45 mins is good, was it ducklings you went to? Liam always sleeps well after swimming We'll be there on Monday if you fancy it?
ETA: Not much help with the sleeping I'm afraid. We moved Liam at 8 weeks, it's only recently that he has begun towake in the night. Dare I say he is getting better now 0
