Babies make great hoovers on their own!!!

Glad to hear all is well.

We have a big fleece blanket that we chuck on the floor as a rug for Benjamin to roll about on. It makes it much easier, especially if I [STRIKE]can't be ar5ed[/STRIKE] haven't had the time to hoover. Plus, if Benjamin decides to be sick or dribbles all over the place (like he is constantly doing at the moment) I can just stick it in the wash - no down on my hands and knees scrubbing

Oh yeah, we have lots, it's just all the bits on the carpet around the mat which bothered me

She's injecting herself each day at the moment, then she's been told she can have one cycle free, although according to the news yesterday she should have been offered 3 cycles. It's difficult because I think she's too young to be trying but on the other hand I understand her need to see if she can have children.

Well she's got the best chance for it to work while she's young (did I remember right that she's 21? I was 21 when I had Chris, I think I'm doing a good job, I'm sure she will too)
I don't know why but I feel like it must be harder to find out these things when your young while you still feel invincible.
I hope it works for her xx

Are all 0-6mth sleeping bags the same size? Any particular company do smaller than average ones, anyone know?

Can't wait to get Rhys in one. He's sleeping with a sheet and blanket right now but keeps kicking them off within seconds of putting them over him :rolleyes:

all about the same i think, The advice is they need to be 7lb before going in one tho.
does he mind being swaddled? I swaddle Ed with his arms still free or you could put him in a feecey suit

Im not keen on chemicals ie the pill, depo, implants. Im not keen on abortive methods either Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Non abortifacient methods would be either barrier methods (cap, condom etc.) or natural family planning. Or you can use both and just use a barrier method during your fertile time.

Elle: i check FSID and it says this:

Can my baby use a sleeping bag?
Yes, sleeping bags are a safe alternative to blankets. If you use a sleeping bag, it needs to be hoodless, and have the right size opening at the neck so your baby won’t slip down inside the bag. Never use with a duvet. To make sure your baby doesn’t become too hot, choose a lightweight bag.

no mention of the 7lb thing so I'm not sure where I got it from

Did you just get the one? We got the short one handwritten, plus a long one handwritten and two typed long ones. Got the extras specifically cos MFD warned us you had to fold it! I sent one of the typed ones and will use that same one if I have to take/send it anywhere.
