MSE Parents Club Part 3

Oh, we want to do baby massage too! Am not seeing the health visitor again until next Friday, but when I do I'm going to ask about what I can do and where. The community nurse who came to visit earlier (who I forgot to ask about the EBM feeding amounts - sorry Feelie!) said she'll bring a "play worker" with her next time.. sounded intriguing!

This is my life at the moment - nothing to do for ages then 2 or 3 appointments at once :rolleyes:

We went to Bilston today - 'twas scary!! Not the place to be with a funky buggy like mine...people were literally stopping to stare and parting as we passed :rotfl:

Then we went to the retail park in Walsall - I AM LOVING that place (other than the fact that you have to pay for parking :mad:)

To be fair... People in Bilston tend to stare at anyone they're not related to... You're obviously not local (My Mum lives there... I'm allowed to say things like that lol)

Do you mean Crown Warf with the Asda living on it? We always end up there on a Saturday, the cafe at the bottom is Dave's favourite eatery.. He's a classy fella

elle, Dylan wears his sleepsuits in bed and rompers through the day, but I have a few tops and jeans and a wee pair of combats for him too for wee day trips out
Plus my sister is obsessed with dressing babies up, so she still has all of my nephews 3 - 6 month clothes sitting in a big bad for me when he is ready for them !!

You are putting Rhys in dresses :eek: :rotfl:

You can get loads of bright sleepsuits (Asda, Tesco, Saisburys) or there are some fab clothes out there...I discovered H&M baby clothes today - really bright and cool :cool:

I dress Benjamin in proper clothes every day and have been doing so since he was tiny (although not as tiny as Rhys!!) I think it marks out the difference between day and night for him - getting into a sleepsuit is one of the triggers that means it is time for a big sleep

I buy 'soft' stuff though - not jeans etc - I want him to be comfortable

I think it's the feet thing.. I'm not liking sleepsuits with feet in for daytime wear. We have these cute little prem socks which fit perfectly (although he has massive feet!) so I'm after rompers to wear with them.. Is that a bit odd - pick the socks first then the outfit? Suppose it's only like choosing shoes first then finding the outfit to match!

Yup - that's the fella - Crown Wharf!

My MIL and BIL live in Bilston too - hubby used to. His mom (my MIL) used to run the Trumpet.

3 - I will recognise you cos you will have the bright red daughter with you! And you look MUCH younger than your age (or so your FB profile tells me )

3 - you all know what I look like and my boys for that matter but anyway, I'll be the one pushing a bright blue P&T and constantly saying "Christopher!"

Elle my local play worker is a rather attractive bloke

Sometimes I dress Caitlyn in proper clothes... But if we're home and have no plans I like to keep her in all in ones... I don't like things that button up the back...

see I think that is weird You pick an outfit to match your handbag ... not your shoes :rotfl:

Tine, glad milkies is better now, hungry days are hard work aren't they! What exactly do feeding cushions do? I've not bothered up till now, would you really recommend one?

Well I've been using a pillow and yes I definitely found positioning easier! She fell asleep on it after feeding and I'd say that it's possible to move the pillow, baby and all, to allow her to carry on sleeping...

I hate to say I told you so but....
I've got 2 a widgey that lives at mum's and one I was given by a friend here.
was the one you used today quite firm? if so I recomend the widgey as its quite firm the other I have is from America not sure what brand but it's much softer and I prefer it. I got my widgey of ebay for about £15

Quite soft... definitely don't think it was as hard as a widgey... - hmmm will have to go hunting this weekend me thinks

Tis a good hint Mrs T, but we are a 1 car family so it's just me with the pram all day, I don't drive see?! :D

LOL fair argument Sadly here we could go for walkies in the village and fields, but if I want to actually go somewhere then I have to go in the car...

Izzy was in dresses, but it has been a bit cold for them this week - I need to get some leggings to go underneath them - no way am I wrestling a baby into tights :eek: I've given up on socks. Will have to

Now it's got cooler she has been a dungarees baby. Much easier than jeans, as they all have poppers underneath.

We have the same being-mistaken-for-a-boy problem when not in dresses. Granny and Auntie (and mummy :rolleyes:) have been buying lovely summer dresses, but all the rest of Izzy's clothes are hand-me-downs from boys. Might have to pick her up a couple of girlie tops after payday I think.
