Hello and Congrats to Tigs and Marleyboy, Andrew sounds like he is doing fab!

Caz - glad you are getting Charlie into the nursery, is it a few days a week?

I used to be obsessive about Keira's milk bottles, because once she was walking around (10months!) she would walk around with her milk bottle and fling it when she was done, I always had 6 bottles, and I'd go loopy if I couldn't find one, would be turning everything upside down. When we moved the sofa we found a missing bottle, how it got under there I have no idea, and it was growing it's own lifeform. EW!

Just dropped Keira off at nursery, she didn't EVEN CARE I LEFT! She just said "Hurry up and get my jacket off!" I said "Do I get a kiss?" "OH FINE!!!"
She is a little madam!!

Still got an hour and a half to relax before I have to leave again. I can walk back and too nursery myself in 15mins (took 20 to get home but I nipped by Spar) it takes about 30 with her! I need to get her some skates......

My mum said oh just use her buggy....her pushchair has been in the cellar for a year, she didn't want to use it then, and she won't use it now, not that I would, I hate seeing kids capable of walking strapped up in a pushchair.

Boohoo, I dunno what to do with myself.

Good luck at docs Caz, I'm sure it'll be fine. Have you got a list to take with you? Lists are very helpful! Don't be scared to tell them how it is, that way they can help. I had the depo in my arm a few times, depended which nurse it was.

Anyone see a reason why I shouldn't get him a door bouncer? (other than my precious brand new door frames! )? Hope Asda have got them in their baby event again..

I can't think of any reasons apart from he tippy toe issue but I know you wouldn't leave him in it too long anyway

Hmmm, wouldn't be able to, ya mean! :rolleyes: Mind you, he's shrieking with excitement when he managed to kick something plus I'm hoping being upright will help with the reflux.. Just thought, are they height adjustable - I wonder if his legs are actually long enough to reach the floor!

Sami_Bee

Button what about a scooter? I bet you could pick one up for about £10 and shouldn't be too much of a PITA for you to take back n to, or maybe they would let you leave it a nursery??

Elle - yeah the height adjusts we have teeny doors so had to lengthen it if we ever took it somewhere with us.

Just remember that they don't always go every day. especially as Caitlin is mostly breastfed Choppy... Aimee only used to go once a week and even went 10 days once... If the poo is loose and runny then they are not constipated. Constipated poos are rock hard... (A lot of babies get constipated when they're weaned incidentally) It could just be wind, or it might be that they don't like the feelings as it all moves round their bowels... Or maybe they feel a bit bloaty before the poo comes out and that's what makes them miserable...

Leila is also a stingy pooer but I read somewhere that citrus comes out in yout breast milk so if you drink orange juice this well help them go. I have been drinking a couple of glasses of pure (ie not from concentrate) orange juice a day for a few weeks and it really seems to help. She doesnt strain anymore and goes more regularly. Its noticeable if I stop drinking the juice that she then doesnt poo as often and its an effort when she does.

oh those markings! they are sooooo hard to read nms! I wish I could read braille, it'd be easier!:o We use one of the older ones as a measuring jug, and do 7oz into it then pour into the annoying bpa free ones

I wrote to Mr Tommee Tippee a while ago to complain about these bottles, this is their reply:

Tommee Tippee has introduced a new Closer to Nature BPA-free bottle in polypropylene to give parents the total reassurance they’d expect from the UK’s leading brand.

In moving to this new softer material for bottles we have chosen to emboss graduations onto the bottle to remove any potential risks associated with printed graduations "rubbing off."

Although we appreciate that embossed graduations are not as easy to read as the printed markings on our pre-BPA free polycarbonate bottles, we still believe that our new bottles more than live up to your – and our – very high standards of quality and performance.

We’d like to stress that we take all our consumer feedback very seriously (in fact it was feedback from parents that helped us to decide to go BPA-free) and so we are already working on ways we can achieve a printed BPA-free bottle where visible graduations would remain intact through many months of continued use and sterilisation.

However, If you wish to return these to us at the address below we will certainly refund these for you.




They dont like to blow their own trumpets or anything!!!

A scooter would be good but 2 reasons why it wouldn't work :

She can't ride them, she has used Ellie's before and she is scared she will fall off or something as she only tippy toe pushes with the foot on the ground.

Secondly, we walk by next to one of the busiest main roads in Aberdeen, would just take a second for her to fall off and she could land on the road.

Walking is the safest (albeit slowest) way!

Elle - I have the lindam one, I think its best for small babes because holds them around the body unlike the tigger one
