Oz has now perfected "Mamma" and "Up", put the two together and I'm a slave to his every whim - how DO you say no to an 8 month old wanting cuddles?!!

Hi guys,

Sorry to jump in with a question again but there is nothing like asking other mums - the internet is rubbish!!

I have been usuing cellular cot blankets from toysrus but i want to get DS a duvet. Only ones I can see are 4 tog does anyone know how many blankets that is???

I am sorry I don't post more in here but Xander has only just turned 1 and I have found myself back in the pregnancy club :rotfl:. 1 is a great age he is now much more expressive in his talking and can walk on his own for short distances. Its such a n exciting time I just wish I didn't feel so sick and tired being 2 months pregnant! I don't want to miss anything!!

Sorry I don't know, but DS's sleeping bag at aged 2 is still only 2.5 Tog...?

Congrats Shelvis on your news! Sorry havent bothered with duvet for LO as he is happy with a couple of blankets and his room at 18 degs, so cant help.

Agutka, Henry doesnt really say any words.. we kinda get Mummummummum and dadadadada but thats about it and he is 14 months but he shouts loudly too !! Might improve a bit when he moves into the next room at nursery (next week... blimey!)

He slept through last night yippee!!! so we are nearly getting there:j

Shelvis just remembered I kept a leaflet about blankets etc and have managed to dig it out :j
it says "4.0 tog quilt = 3 blanket layers"
also says "at ideal temp of 18 deg C you need a sheet and 2 or 3 blanket layers"
I wouldn't worry too much as the overheating rule is for bubs under 12mths

Bailey that's great news on the job - I'm sure you will find it loads easier once things get into a new routine. My OH usually gets in around 5-5.30 and does everything with Alice between then and bedtime except that I feed her. When he was working late shifts on his Christmas job in December I found it so much harder even though he was home in the mornings because it was such a long stretch without any break.

We intend to have Alice in sleeping bag and cot as long as possible although she did manage to get out of her sleeping bag last week when she was in a bit of a paddy about going to bed. It's one of those ones with poppers which do up on the shoulders and she's managed to get out that way.

Alice's favourite words are currently "Daddy", "Oh dear" and "Bye bye" (which she even says to the empty living room when I take her upstairs). She's got eye drops at the moment for conjunctivitis and the first couple of days she really hated them and would shout "Oh dear! Dear, dear dear." in a really cross voice.

I imagine it's probably chicken pox immunoglobulin they give you if you've been exposed to chicken pox in pregnancy as that's what they can do with rubella (although currently they won't give it to you in this country).

Thanks Sami! I am not worried about the overheating more the other thing because he has been waking in the night and feels cold (tummy as well as hands and feet). He gets out of his blankets and then gets cold and can't (or more likely wont) get back into them!! I am hoping a duvet will be easier to pull back over himself.

Have you tried a fleecey all-in-one? Thats what chris had as I didn't want him tripping up in a sleeping bag when he could stand/walk but I didn't want to use duvet that early (I only started him with duvet recently)

something like this: http://www.next.co.uk/shot.asp?extra=sch&b=X43&p=2586&s=7&n=Children&pid=439-121&exclude=00VI00%7c00V00
We've had ones from tesco and sainsbury's for cheeper tho, good for if you visit in the evenings we used to get chris in his PJs give him his milk pop him in fleecey suit and then he'd fall asleep on the way home in car and we could pop him straight from car to bed
