Wi3adora - did you use a hairdryer? That always makes Toby giggle! How did the shower go? Is it easy to keep hold of them? I'm off for a bath shortly. Haven't found a seat that is big enough for LO so I just hold him.

Yeah used my hairdryer, also dried his hair using the lowest setting and his face was a picture. Shower was fine, daddy was on hand if I needed him but I just held him in the crook of my arm while I cleaned him. Then daddy took him off to be dried and clothed. We are going to stay with DH Auntie in a few weeks and she doesn't have a bath so we needed to se how he coped with the shower. I couldn't tell you last time I had a bath too much faff for me, far to easy for me to jump in the shower. But LO has a bath every night as part of his bedtime routine.

feelie if you can't find you ironing board, I would put a tea towel on a hard surface like the table or worktop and iron on that

I've lost my ironing board! Any ideas/alternatives? First time in years I've needed to iron!

:rotfl:how do you lose something as big as that
you can iron on any hard surface as long as its not something that will melt, just out a towel down first.
Does your iron seam well you could maybe just steam the thing on a hanger...

Hiya!
we need to know things...
How is Liam sleeping/feeding/pooping?
If you are BFing how are your nips? :rotfl:
pooh and boobs - its all we talk about

Nips are fine cos we're bottle feeding . Little man was just too groggy after the birth and didn't have any interest in the boobie. He had a formula feed by syringe straight after birth cos his blood sugars were low, and then 24 hrs of EBM by syringe. The BF was the only thing keeping me in hospital and I broke down at 4am one morning cos he just wan't interested and I just want him to be at home bonding with Daddy. He went onto FF after a lovely MW spending the eve trying to help us, but we just wasn't getting it.

He sleeps well, feeds every 3-4 hrs. Has a feed around 11 - 11:30 and the wakes between 3&5am, then again between 7&9 :T

Poop tend to be one huge one, once aday, usually when we have visitors :rotfl:

oh what a good boy he is! How often do you manage to convince the visitors to change the nappy?
