MSE Parent Club - Part 2

Does anybody use Netmums? Im thinking of meeting up with somebody (once I join) but im a bit wary really. I dont want posh or common but how can I say that without saying it

Im trying to do level three Flylady this week so a busy day of cleaning ahead plus I need to go shopping and also do a daily outing of some description with Natasha. I really must get her weighed too as its been 2 months since I last took her!

:j Not sure how I forgot but I ordered a brand spanking, shiny new Dell on Sunday. Its showing as 3 weeks delivery but this one came in 5 days so fingers crossed....

:rotfl: groans are ok as long as its not crying out painfulness, do you make up feeds in mls? I was using floz as I didn't think it made a diff until I watched a program about those posh nannies that royalty use (random ) and they pointed out that using floz means over the day means they are having it too concentrated IYSWIM

I hate that Louise ad!! I saw her documentary and she didn't use the wii fit once to loose her baby weight she had a personal trainer and was boxing like a loon 6weeks after baby - no sign of easing back into it!!

:eek: mls it is then, you think they'd tell you these things! i did wonder cos the 2 measurements are different on the bottles, over the course of a day it must add up to loads!

update on the aptamil... definitely has a secret tranquiliser, he has been a different baby since his first bottle of it, and slept for 4 and a half hours! only got up once in the night and got up this morning before he did! :T:T

Thanks Krystal I hadn't noticed that, Celia was a little older when I tried it so I just moved her via her bum!

Good look for your operation Agutka and hooray for no more deckchairs Becles (although now it's sunny you can go out in the garden and sit on them inatead!)

I think it's one of those positions where you naturally shuffle them over by the bottom anyway... I don't recall being shown how to do it with Aimee either, it just kind of came naturally... Think that's why so many people get on with it... There's no strict way to do it...

The midwife told me about the mls thing when Natasha was born. Really pleased the Aptamil is working - we noticed a huge difference almost straightaway when we switched a week or two after she was born, would recommend it to anyone.

the last time we spoke to a midwife or HV i was BF so i guess thats why nobody has told me things like this, going to have the little monster weighed today so will ask if theres anything i need to know. i havent taken him for 2 weeks am i going to get told off? she said if i was BF i would need to take him every week but obviously i'm not now so i got a bit lazy :eek:

You don't need to go too often at all emlou if everything is fine and you don't have any concerns... And you don't need to go weekly either if your bf, as long as you're getting on well with it...

I got told off for going twice in one week (Mon & Fri) :eek: but that was by the HV I told to get out of my house on the first visit so no suprise really

Edited to add; Im sure not all HV are horrible.

emlou, I think I've taken Celia half a dozen time in her entire life! I've never been told off for going too little.

aguta hope all goes well for you today!

choc i have erins head on my arm as i find it easier to feed her like that on my side and i have noticed i am much more relaxed and she feeds better?

Am feeling so misrable today, just dont know what to do with myself. this coinstant crying is really getting to me now and i just cant keep going or i think i will explode. OH has now taken up a new hobby so that means yet again im left to do it all on my own, dont think he undertands how hard it is for me? he thinks that getting up this morning with kids helped but all he dont was put music on and tell them to get ready. gave up and in the end had to help abi get dressed, get kids off to school and noticed kids managed to use 2pints of milk for 3 bowls of cereal?

really feel that im at breaking point fighting back tears at the moment and just feel like running away leaving him to it and see how he gets on? sorry for the moan ladies but feel better getting it all out x

ive been told off for going too much at the start! well... OH has, i think he was very enthusiastic to get ten minutes a week to brag to a captive audience!

I cant remember the last time we went now though, one of the HVs always makes me feel slightly uncomfortable and out of the three you just know it will be her when we get there....
i know shes only being nice but because she knows i went on ADs when i was having panic attacks last year shes got that head tilted to the side, sympathetic half squint look and "how are you feeling now?" way about her that makes me want to run a mile
i wasnt taking them because i was depressed, they are also the medication for anxiety!
