I have a murron's pouch from freedom slings. I used it for the first few days after her birth when we went out but I felt that she looked squashed in it and there was too much fabric that kept going on her face. I'm not sure if it was the way I was doing it but I havent tried it again since.

Thats the one we have, and I found it ok when she was tiny, but now she's all squished and so heavy it hurts my shoulder. I've tried her upright in it too, but it doesn't feel secure enough to go hands free, and her little legs look squished poking out of the bottom.

I'm liking the look of the mai tei style slings, I did think the sling meet was a bit far to go but I want to try out goodies (and possibly see what Fritha is like in RL :eek::))

i think they look much more comfy. I'm watching a couple of Babyhawk ones on ebay, but if you search Mai Tei, a lot of babyhawk copies come up. Anyone got one?

Random statement - isn't Princes Mrs called Mai Tei?

I received a lovely shiney food diary in the post this morning. I'm guessing its from Bizzie Babies, but there's no instructions, and no email.

Its quite early, and OH thinks I'm probably just imagining it, but I've only ever had this sick feeling once before! I'll wait another week or so, then test. I tested negative at 4, 6 and 10 weeks last time, so even if it is negative I'm going to be wondering, so might aswell save my money and test later. Knowing me, I'm bound to be pregnant, especially as I said I wanted to wait 5 years!

I csnt begin to tell you the amount of times i've felt sick when i've thought i'm pregnant :rolleyes: and the rest lol
I'm sure your fine, just get down the docs and get some contraception asap!

Can a baby grow too fast? HV hasn't weighed Toby in a while, but I've been weighing him at home. He was plodding along the 50th Centile nicely while being fed EBM, but since we made the switch he has rocketed, and today is on about the 90th. I suppose I should try and get to the clinic on Tuesday to get an 'official' weigh shouldn't I?

My freezer is in three sections - milk, icecream and everything else. Strawberry Cornettos and Feasts are my current favourites.

Maybe he's just ahd a growth spurt, Ryan put on about 1lb a week for about 4 weeks, i thought he was well abnormal, the line in the red book chart was almost virtical! lol

3 im am so sure we have the same baby? erin always has to have something over her head to sleep lol! she has been up every hour last night to be fed this is 2 nights running and im like a zombie, she is such a moan today and unless um shaking her about or walking with her she isnt happy?

oh ice cream i love the bounty one at the moment! i also have creme egg and dairy milk in the freezer!

Krystaltips

Caz, she's probably just upping your supply hun, sure she'll settle back down again in a day or 2

After another grumpy evening of feeding, I took Caitlyn upstairs at about 9:30 to settle her... Transferred her to the crib at about 10 and she woke up, left her there to see if she would settle and she must of done because I fell asleep... She woke me up shuffling around at 5:30!!! Seven and a half hours straight sleep! I'm trying not to get excited about it, I'm sure she's just lulling me into a false sense of security and will wake me up hourly tonight... But there's this little part of me that thinks I'm getting rewarded for putting up with Aimee as a baby... I'm sure she didn't do 7 hours straight until she was about 3 and a half... Surely this time I deserve one that sleeps?!

cazscoob

lucky you krystal! i so need a sleep. she has started to fight me during the day when feeding, she is obviously hungry but screams and pulls away. am wondering if she maybe has thrush again?? i also never gave her any solids yest as she was screaming so much and thought maybe she had a sore stomach? just cant seem to make her happy at all at the mo?

searching_me

afternoon not long got out of bed .. been awake for ages just me, OH and Jayden stayed in bed zoes been watching dvd and playing in her room for hours i keep checking on her seeing if shes ok but shes just talking away to herself ... Jaydens refusing to sleep everytime hes nearly fallen asleep he wakes himself up or if he does he wakes up 20mins later i think he gets it from his dad who barely sleeps EVER 2 hours is a good night for him, so his fault! :rotfl: ...
please stop talking about ice cream its torture ive had to tubs of skinny cow ice cream in the freezer for 2 weeks now and i refuse to eat them til im skinny enough ... just one more stone to go x

Is it on BOGOF?

:rotfl: at this comment about swine flu in Asda!

As for the excitement over it, if there's a school in the country that doesn't yet have it, it soon will, and if there's a town or city in the country that doesn't yet have it, ditto.

What can you do about it? precious little. Good hand hygiene, wiping light switches, door handles and toilet handles may slow it down, cleaning your phone and keyboard at work if you hot desk is advisable.

You'll either get it, or you won't. If you do get it, it may be so mild you don't realise you've had it.

If you feel ill, check the symptoms on NHS Direct, and stay home. But by the time you realise you've got it, you've probably passed it on to half the neighbourhood anyway.

feelie, check out maternity action website a bit of a click around will give you and OH lots of useful info to argue your case!

I didn't know this, but apparently an employer can't refuse a request to reduce hours unless they've advertised the remaining hours nationally and been unable to recruit! Sounds hopeful eh?

Are you sure? Advertising the remaining hours costs money, I'd be surprised if an employer HAD to do this every time someone asked for reduced hours.

Their factsheet actually gives increased costs as a reason an employer can give for NOT allowing reduced hours, if I read it right.
