i am sure i have someone elses baby!! three nights running and she has cuddled in for feed and been asleep for 7.30 she wakes at 3/4am for a feed and thats her until 8!!! do you think she has just settled herself(or been on here reading and saw my distress?) i know i should be over the moon but feel totally lost as im so used to pacing the floors with her and trying to stop her screaming:D

Lots to catch up on!

Sheesh - all these bad mammy's bathing babies in the morning :D

Nappies and wipes - I'm another tart and buy whatever ones work out the cheapest. The only ones I've not been keen on are the Sainsbury ones with the leaf print design on. They didn't fit Charlotte well and we had some leaks.

Travelling - done it with the boys when they were little and Charlotte last year. All the advice that has been given is good - plenty of snacks, drinks, toys, books, drawing activity if they are old enough. If you look in poundshops and buy bits that are new so they are more interesting, and cheap enough so it doesn't matter if they get lost on holiday. Remember children under 2 sitting on an adults lap don't get a meal, so you'll need to take food for them or share yours.

I bath Natasha on a morning and always have but people think it is wrong. How on earth can bathing a baby on a morning be wrong??? I know some people use a bath as making a baby realise its bedtime but we have been really lucky in that she has slept through since 8 weeks.

Im at home all day and find it much easier to bath her on a morning, ITS UP TO ME, ARGHHHHH :rotfl:

God knows what they would think of me then I bathed Chris today at about 2pm:p
I really can't be bothered using a million wipes on his wheatabix poops so I just stick him in the bath and hose him down with the shower - he loves it coz it tickles!:rotfl:

...Huggies nappies are the worst I have tried to be honest and I dont much like their baby wipes either - they seem so hard, feel funny and stink. ...

:eek: I only ever use huggies wipes and LOVE the smell :rotfl: I'm with SB on this one the thickness of huggies wipes makes them the best by far IMHO;)

Choc - I wouldn't advise pre-booking seats as there are only certain seats you are allowed to sit in when you have a 'baby' on your knee so would quite likely be a waste of time n effort - I won't add comment on the actual flying coz everyone has said what I could have thought of.
Chris at 13mths slept all the way to austria but stayed wide awake on the way back:rolleyes: luckily I was sat with OH and FIL so we played pass the Christopher for the entire flight:p

On the bathing in the morning thing... I always bathed Jasmine in the morning / afternoon as water sends her hyper !!!!!!
My mum didnt believe me when I told her this the first time she kept her and bathed her right before bed and it took her nearly 3 hours to get her to sleep !!!!

Serves her right for not paying attention to me

I was drinking orange juice when I read that and I laughed so hard it came out of my nose!!! :rotfl::rotfl::rotfl:

I don't think anyone is a parenting threat, lol. Was trying to type and cuddle Ethan at the same time - he's been really clingy today as he had his 12 week injections. He was asleep when the nurse gave them to him as I couldn't wake him before and he was fighting his sleep all day incase the nasty lady came back with another big needle

Tasha wasnt really a crying baby when she was born but she just started sleeping through at 8 weeks, we never did anything, it just happened and 13 months later she still sleeps mostly all night

I know this sounds really strange but I felt a little sad that we had missed out on all the whole pacing the floor and night feed thing
