    It seem some cheeky bu66er has been in, taken a nice new pair, and left their old scanky ones on the hanger! How cheeky is that! :rotfl:

    I used to volunteer in a charity shop, and a lot of times people would come in and take an outfit into the changing room, then hang their own minging clothes on the hangers and put them back out and leave in our nice clean stuff.

    People are s**t.

    Went to dentist, and yes I have an abcess. But he just kind of drained it because there are no antibiotics suitable for b/f? Hopefully its gone now, but if not, i just need to go back and repeat!!

    Kellymom has some good information about medications:

    If you print off the information, your dentist might be willing to prescribe. A lot of doctors and dentists just say nothing is suitable, but that really isn't the case, it just takes a bit of effort for them to look it up!

  • Afternoon all. We had a fab time at rhyme time :) Went off to a cafe for lunch, but Izzy didn't really eat anything, just played with it and lobbed it on the floor. Got her weighed and she has put on 1oz.

    I spoke to the HV about sleep too. Need to try (still/again) to get this going to sleep without feeding to sleep sorted. I've been trying this for ages, but nothing works for us :( At the mo she just carries on until she falls asleep and screams if I take her off before she has finished. When she has fallen asleep I try and put her down. Sometimes she is so far asleep she doesn't notice, sometimes she wakes, has a bit of a whinge, tries to sit up, but if I hold her down, stroke her back and she goes off again with a bit of shhhhing, and sometimes there is full blown screaming and I have to pick her up again and feed her back to sleep.

    I got a "look" from HV when I said I end up having to feed her to sleep. Suggestions I got were not to let her fall asleep when she is feeding, to put her down awake, sit by her and stroke her tummy/back/head whatever and wait for her to fall asleep - she will cry, but don't pick her up.

    In practise what happened was I got home with an exhausted baby. Fed till she fell asleep. Went to put her down and she woke up and screamed and screamed and screamed and screamed. I tried singing, stroking, shhhhing, sitting by the cot watching her cry, going off and leaving her to it. After a while I did pick her up again and try feeding her as I figured she is probably starving after having hardly any lunch. But still she carried on the same when I tried to put her down.

    2 hours later and I now have a wide awake baby who is tired, but not sleepy iyswim. I'm not convinced this is going to work :( Will try again this evening anyway. Anyone got any other ideas? We already have a bedtime routine for getting her sleepy, although I don't do any of it before naptime. I think tomorrow I will try putting her into her sleeping bag for naps It's just the getting her to actually go to sleep part which doesn't work.

    Anyway, it is nearly tea time now, so I'd better get this washing up done. No idea what time I will end up eating tonight if I'm going to be battling baby into bed - will have to tell DH he is cooking if he wants to eat ;)

    afternoon ladies. i really cant keep up with you all.
    but, on the plus side, this morning i have cleaned my house (thoroughly, not the usual quick going over) and made tea (stew to be reheated later) and while both children are asleep had a ncie wee cuppa tea!!! :)
    i had quoted lots -but it didnt seem to work and i cannot for the life of me remember what it was or even who i was wanting to talk to.

    i think one was September baby and just wanted to know what she thought of Colief?? I have used infacol, dentinox drops and gripe water, but Christopher is still really hard to bring wind up. i dont know anything about the colief??
    Carla-Farla!! :)

    I feel like crying.

    Keira is an absaloute nightmare when I pick her up from nursery, not only does it give me a sore head, it's bloody embarrassing, she's the only kid there doing a full on screaming paddy, she never normally does that. I had to carry her all the way home in the !!!!ing rain as she refused to walk cause she didn't want to go home.

    What am I supposed to do? Im not putting up with this everyday

  • Scruffy - Rhys is having a brain scan today. Sorry, I missed your message before.

    Button - not sure what to suggest - that is something we still have to look forward to. By the time I do you will be an expert. Could you have a star chart for walking home nicely from nursery too? You will have them all over the house at this rate ;)

    Had a bit of a wobble here - I don't want to spend my last 2 weeks before going back to work watching Izzy cry while i try to get her to sleep :( will try to stick with it till next week though, and speak to HV again if no joy. Mind you, I think we are teething, and there was no poo this morning, but (by the smell of it) there has just been one now, so maybe that didn't help this afternoon? I'd best go change this baby then ;)
