  • Mfd, shall we stick our babies in a soundproof room together and curl up somewhere to sleep?!

    Please!!!


    He has gone now after some tv with daddy, a few mouthfuls of porridge and some more booby :(

    It is so unlike him, he has not slept right for 4 or 5 days now, since his cold got bad.


    I am considering taking his dummy off him like chopsticks did with Caitlyn. Sometimes I think it causes more problems than it solves...

    ...although I would be mortified if he started sucking his thumb....


    Why is being a mummy so hard??


    Woe is me :(

    Ah Krystal, hope my post didn't come across wrong. It's just when I read (serial lurker that I am) about Glam's Jack and Jillies Kian sleeping through at the same age as Charly, I sometimes feel I'm doing something wrong. It's just comforting to know I'm not alone :o xxx

    Hugs to all xxx
    You didn't come across wrong, I know exactly what you mean Hun... I feel the same... And caitlyn's older too!
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.

    I'm sat on the sofa base - with no cushions and there is the vile wiff of sick in the air. Can you guess why I've been quiet for a while? _pale_

    The bag is nearly £50 but covers it

    or do we think I'd be allowed to take cling film on with me to wrap around it?
    I've been waiting for you to come on; Fairy post arrived, Thank You :kisses3:

    sorry peeps have got non-sleeping babies Hugs to you all!

    MrsM - I paid less than that for it new (without the hang bag though) :o

    you are meant to have the buggy/pram secure so no straps etc are hanging lose. you do see peeps at the airport with carseats and suitcases clingfilmed so i dont see why not. it would be in your handluggage anyway. and its not prohibited item. i'd cling film rather than spend £50. would you use the cover again?

    Well done Sami :T

    Im happy with the price, when I priced it up it brand new it was costing well over £400 for all the bits included. I bought the jane powertwin for £380 and selling at £300 so im only putting £40 to this one and it is practically new. :T

  • sami, do you know anyone that works in Asda or similar, as they could get (aquire) the strong cling wrap stuff that they wrap round cages etc!!! Not sure if you know the stuff I mean but that is stronger than normal cling!!

    Oh dear, Edgar again?

    Expensive bag though! Don't suppose there are any universal covers that would fit it? You could try with the cling film but I'm not sure it would be robust enough? (and the fairies say you're welcome, but they want to see the end result :))

    Glad Benjamin is settled now...

    Baby is sleeping, I've wrapped my bra round the cot bars, you never know... I'm off to sleep anyway, night all xx

    cool I thought they might think I was gonna strangle the crew with cling film lol
    The bag would only get used once or twice again for next holiday and if I get my 3rd bubba, not sure if I'd get most back if/when I sell on ebay though.
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    I think Sami is right, as always!
  • Dylan uses his dummy to get to sleep and the spit it out and wont look for it again.

    However, I have also noticed that my very fidgity baby will lie still when he has his dummy in, so I do also use it when changing his bum or dressing him !!!
    The two best things I have done with my life
