MFD - if baby is rotating might be better for him to sleep in a sleeping bag instead? I find them loads easier for other reasons too - doesn't matter which way round I am holding baby when she falls asleep on me, so I don't have to try and turn her round and put her down the other way up from how I'm holding her (iyswim), like I did with blankets.

He is in a sleeping bag but I still always put him with his feet facing the door...I hate to sleep with my head towards the door so I couldn't do it to Benjamin.


Fruitloop moi? NEVER!!!


I have been meaning to say for ages that I now know exactly which step and floorboard creaks so I can avoid them when transporting sleeping baby


AF - Banjamin falls asleep on a pillow on my lap...I don't want to pass on my bad habits but it may provide you with an 'in-between' stage?

MFD :rotfl: i dont own scales but i have a wii fit so i suppose same thing you could always do the healthy eating then when your comfy then go check how your doing after a while x

edit: or you could do it in dress size say your one size but say in 2 or 3 months you want to be down to another so no scales needed x

I have a wii fit! I might go in measurements though - you know the old fashioned get your tape measure out stuff. I am naturally heavy...but my shape changes dramatically IYSWIM. I don't much care what I weigh but I do want my waistline to be significantly smaller than my boobies!!

erin is 18 weeks and i havent even thought about weaning her, she seems happy enough with BF and is putting on weight so i think i will leave her a few more weeks? is there anyone else that is waiting? or am i just being cruel?

Erin is not a greedy little piggie like Benjamin!! He is massive! And he watches every mouthful we eat moving his mouth as if he is trying to taste it!!!

I guess it depends on how much baby feeds

It was my MW that told me 800 minimum but a quick google shows various numbers from 200 to 800

The weight dropped off me though....my pre-pregnancy trousers are now baggy...it is just my belly that worries me, it's like there is extra skin now :eek:


ETA- I say 'dropped off' but I am still a size 16 (heading towards 14, fingers crossed!!)

Benjamin is in a sleeping bag but I am still starting him at the foot of the bed - he hasn't quite worked himself all the way to the top in the night yet but I guess if I start him in the middle he is more likely to bang his head in the night - I'm not worried about the banging his head you understand...just concerned that he may wake himself up!!

Am I the only one who can't wait to start weaning? Part of me doesn't want him to stop being a baby-baby but part of me thinks he is so ready for it already that I am counting down the days to 17 weeks!!

If he was 2 weeks overdue can I count those weeks too??

that would be my concern lol!!

at the risk of being beaten with medical reasons to leave it late, i have to confess i tried seth with some baby rice yesterday lunchtime i had a chat with the HV last thursday at the post natal group when everyone else had gone cos of seth taking a 180ml feed every hour and a half and she said "i'm not allowed to advise you to give him food early but he is your son and he does sound like he is ready to start soon, i did mine at 3 months as that was the advice back then" and gave me a rather large wink... i told OH what she said when i got home and he decided we should have do it there and then, but i said no we have to wait another 3 weeks and spent til yesterday in a moral dilemma he took a spoonful after a lot of faffing and face pulling and then 5 minutes later brought it all up again, so i'm going to wait a bit longer and if he does it again at least i can ask advice on it then.
