Hi Bear Family, I thought I read that in hospital they just use cotton wool and water instead of wipes, but gawd knows where I think I read this, couldve been well out of date, I will await more replies with interest

I think you're right, the Parent Craft class I had today mentioned cleaning baby with cotton wool and water, so in that case do I need to take cotton wool with me?

Have to say this PC class I had today was much better than the one at the weekend. Mostly about breast feeding, changing nappies, bathing babies etc but there were some good tips and someone actually commiting to an amount of times a day you should be feeding baby (8-12) and how long it should roughly take (20mins - 1 hour)

I noticed some of the ladies were discussing bath robes earlier, I had the same problem, I usually wear a satin one around the house but don't want to ruin it, I have a terry but it's very short and think I'd get too hot. Might pay Matalan/bon marche a visit.

Managed to finish cross stitiching my 1-10 numbers for the nursery today and already started on the Country Companions height chart for my next project, hopefully it will make me sit down and relax when i go on Mat leave Thurs rather than trying to clean the whole houe or something daft.

Man came yesterday to get rid of the wasp nest so hopefully that's now sorted but the washing machine is still playing up - next big purchase I see looming!:eek:

When i had DD the MW went banana's when i mentioned using baby wipes, Baby's bottom is sensitive do not use chemical laden wipes on them. Everytime the ward was empty every mum their was into their wipes stash:rotfl:

The hospital i had both kids at used to lock the stuff away you had to ask to get nappies etc and god help you if you wanted when baby actually needed changed, would have needed to make a terry from the pillow case they always said in a minute. then showed up with them 1hr later.lol

I bet they did 32b. I can't be faffing around with bowls of water everytime I change a nappy at home. I get the not using Sudacream unless there's a rash but stearing clear of wipes. Now onder our kids pick up so many allergies these days.

hi ladies
hope you don't mind me joining you ?
I think I am about 10 weeks preg ,was one hell of a shock ! have a 4yr old boy already and that was enough LOL

Has anybody bought the belly band's ? I have seen them on ebay and various other sites and thought they would help with SPD that I had in my previous pregnanacy and make my non maternity clothes last a bit longer

Mleh I faffed with cotton wool for like, a day. And today I bought baby wash! Someone call childline. But then, I guess it's aright, she has only had 1 bath.... I should go bath her really....

Hi and welcome, Jopsey.

Yes, I have a belly band, bought it from Topshop for £4/5. I've worn it a handful of times but I find even though I bought the smallest size it looses shape so needs washing after every wear, saying that I'm not very big so maybe that was the problem.
