Yes, and it's gorgeous. So convenient, and it's neutral enough that it'll fit the room regardless of how we decorate it. The bumper is really cool as well, it slips over the top rather than ties on.

I love the one you linked to. It's fabulous!

My grandmother passed away last week, and she left me a whole collection of handmade baby clothes with a note in dated February 2000 telling me she'd made them for me while her hands were still agile enough, wishing me congratulations on the pregnancy and hoping it's a girl. I sobbed into them for hours, but I'm so touched that she did it - aside from being upset that she never got to meet the baby, I was really sad that mine would be the only one of the whole brood of her kids, grandkids and greatgrandkids not to have a bonnet that she made to a pattern she invented herself. She now has two!

I also bought a Wednesday Addams black velvet dress for an 18 month old at a car boot sale today. I wasn't supposed to buy more clothes but it was 20p.

I'm sorry about your grandmother. That's a nice story though and must mean a lot to you. She was thinking of you having a baby even back then and went out of her way to make them. I love the hand made things and i'm having made a knitted shawl. decent ones are sooo hard to find. I love new borns in white knitted cardis and things.

Thanks Mollie. Me too. We want another baby after this one so we'll get some good use out of it and the drawer underneath will be handy as we haven't much space with her going in our bedroom until we move house next year or the year after. Could do with moving sooner though 5 children in a 3 bedroomed house sooooo is not going to work for long!!

Thanks for the concern about slipping guys ... but installing a bath is not exactly feasible! So at some point, the Bean will have to move from baby bath to shower ... Or should I invest in a large paddling pool? :rotfl:

Obviously I'm going to be sensible - not trying to wash myself at the same time, ensuring the floor isn't slippery, probably sitting down with the Bean when in there ....

Surely I can't be the only first-time Mum who has only had a shower, and not a bath? I can't find the answer yet online or in books, and the midwife isn't interested in seeing me for another 4 weeks.

I only have a shower aswell, i bought a bath from mothercare and i think i will start taking him in the shower when hes about 6 months but use it all the time when hes 9/10 months. I also did this with my daughter - shes 6 now and wont get out of the shower - she thinks shes a mermaid!

Depends what your after searching... I had the cheapest melamine stuff from Argos for about 5 years... Plain white with stick arounds stuck on them... We just treated ourselves to a hemnes from Ikea.. Anything but cheap!

Candice, re vests, it depends on the weather... If it's really hot, just a vest will do... General rule of thumb is 1 more layer than you're wearing... And just change the dirty bit, why make yourself more washing?

I just had a shower, ended up sitting in the bottom of the bath to rinse my hair out, came over all hot and sick... Just lying on the sofa now to try and get over it...
