i asked everyone but got a bit annoyed as they all looked at me with blank faces, we have had an asda open next to them and they have lost a lot of business so they were informed they had lost another customer and ill be shopping at asda from now on lol!
i have tried a few things but nothing seems to work? the HV told me a few things to try like going downstairs to have a drink but not to sit down and to try standing up for at least 15 mins, its meant to stimulate your brain into making you sleep? worth a go!

AF can i ask what kind of bottles you have been using? i have problems getting erin to take a bottle and am wondering if its the bottles?

hi caz,

i use the tommee tippee closer to nature bottles. LO will only take these. what i have done is changed her teats to the 6month ones because she can be very impatient and i thought that might be part of the problem as her milk is thickened with gaviscon for her reflux.

i bought some avent ones the other day (bargin at boots as they were priced up at £11 but scanned at £1.90), but she doesn't like them.

ETA - Last nights total was £6856.35. I'm going to double check without 16yo, although I did tell them last night she was not in full time education.

You worked it out it in one of your later posts I see:D Tis right.....although you say money for nothing...not an easy job giving birth and broken sleep for months/years, if it was we wouldn't all be on here moaning to each other;)

Well Alexandra is tucked up in her "big kid" bed in her own room and it's before 9pm! :eek:

Oh oh oh oh my neighbours are horrid! I'm trying to loose weight so what do they show me? A book called 1 mix, 50 muffins - so one basic recipe and then you just add extras to make 50 different kids of muffins! I hate them! I now need to buy said book!
Apparently on offer in WHSmith but as I never get in there I might have to go on Amazon

Ohhh it's less than £4 at amazon... I might just...

Yay to Alexandra being tucked up..now you relax and don't do what I usually do after all the kids are in bed...tidy up, make bottles, put bread on, sort filing/bills.....the list goes on:o

i know i need to sleep, was in bed around 10 last night and got to sleep at 4? my mind just races?

Caz definitely go back to the docs asap....lack of sleep is no good for you. FYI when dh went onto Anti-D's the doctor told him that he would probably experience his symptoms far worse than they were previously, inc lack of sleep, until the medication had settled in his system (few weeks) if it got to bad to come back and they would give him something to take alongside to a) reduce the symptoms and b) help him sleep.....Go back!

And caz - try the variflo teats for the TT bottles they are BRILL:) I used them for all my boys, they have a little x on the teat and allow baby to have control over how much mik they want to come out....this means they are neither having to suck too hard, or struggling with choking over milk that may be coming out too fast:D:D

MoTM = hope your daughter has a great day

i have the same bottles but never thought about the dummies! this may be the problem!!!!OH can get her to take 5oz of formula throughout the day but its only an ounce of a time i never thought about the teat size doh!
i have also got mam bottles but she just spits it out?

Does anyone require a fairy post delivery of fitted moses basket sheets, btw? I bought two packs of two (one cream one coffee in each) from Matalan before the crib arrived and turns out they don't fit it

Yeah a month...they should 'really' have been settled in. If you are back next week then just remember to tell them then. Maybe write it down, when you are feeling like it so you don't forget:)
