    We've just gone into 3-6. They fit in the length but long on the arms! Has my baby got short arms, or long legs? :rotfl:

    I've given a few bits away on freecycle lately - and haven't has so much of a thank you, off any of them! I always go with the first reply - wasn't sure how to make it fair. But I got an email from a bloke a few days after posting some swings saying 'i know i'm a bit late, but if the swings were available, and if you were to choose me, I might bring a bottle of two or wine around' - How cheeky!

    Izzy wouldn't take dummies either - we have a wide selection that we tried her on, but she didn't like them. Wouldn't take a bottle either, so maybe she doesn't like the taste/texture? :confused: Not the end of the world anyway.

    New milestone this evening - when she was naked and nappy free before bath she managed to suck her toes without any help (I've helped her a few times, as she gets frustrated when she can't reach!). Only her right foot though, she still couldn't do the left one. She looked very pleased with herself indeed ;)

    MM & Rmac I'm off shopping with the MIL :rolleyes: tomorrow to Liverpool. I think there is a new Debenhams in Liverpool One (can anyone confirm) -i'll be searcing for the similar-to-trumpettes!

    Yes.

    Or am I thinking of John Lewis?

    I don't think I am, I'm sure it's Debenhams, but it could be John Lewis.

    Although I could be thinking of John Lewis but there's also a debenhams, actually yes I think that's right so...

    Yes.

    Does that help? *vague beaming*

    Emlou - if you listen to my Nan she had all of hers fully weaned at 3 months and out of nappies by 9 months. :rotfl:

    We've started a couple of spoons of baby rice at the weekend when she turned 17 weeks. She was definately ready for it, she loved it and got very excited! Had to give her a spoon to hold to stop her grabbing the one I was feeding her with. BUT - it hasn't made her sleep any better, she's waking between 3 and 4am for a feed. :rolleyes:

    MrsT sore nipples, you need lansinoh lanolin, it works magic, it got me through the sore nipples, without that stuff I wouldn't have fed her past about 3 weeks, I don''t use it at all now, it just got me through that sore bit. Its expensive but worth it, and you don't use much I've still got nearly all of it left....
    Its FREE on prescription for those with a maternity exemption ;) I've got to pick up my script up in the morning

    H&M do trumpette copies - I've not got any tho :(

    We (Edgar & I) left the house for the first time today:D not sure how Ed felt about it because he slept through it all :rolleyes: It was good actually because it meant we could focus on Chris which was mostly the point of it, we went to surestart to play on the slide/climbing frame thing, got some pics that look great on the camera so will try to post one in the morning.

    I've tried searching but can't find the name of that nappy rash cream that smells fishy, can anyone shed some light? Edgar has some split skin right in his little botty cleft :( I'm doing my best to keep it clean n dry but he poops n pees soooo much its a constant battle
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
