I found a skirt and top which still fit. Amazing the amount of clothes I've got that I forgot about.. and amazing how much doesn't fit any more Need a serious sort out and some eBaying and charity shop donations methinks!

Sami, Rhys is getting that activity cube from my sister We bought it ages ago - am surprised she's remembered where she put it :rolleyes:

From Tesco, we got:-
Cookie Shape Sorter - http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.201-3456.aspx
Crawl Ball - http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.206-4067.aspx
Fill and Spill Flowerpot - http://direct.tesco.com/q/R.206-4645.aspx

dare I ask..are they too small or too big?
I'm not impressed that at 8mths preg I said "I'll blantantly never get back in those sz10s from pre-Chris" and binned them all :doh:
Edgar is getting that crawl ball off my Mum for Christmas our little matching boys

GISI - any signs of bubba yet? s/he was due on my mum's birthday so I'm guessing s/he'll arrive on my sister's birthday on tuesday

Morning all.. Thanks for all the sleep ideas. I kind of like the idea of the pick up put down method, but a bit unsure, as I know she starts screaming the second I put her down. No idea what would happen if I tried 8 + times though. Other than joining aM in the physio queue

I like the idea of reading a story too - if nothing else will keep me distracted while I try and ignore the crying We have a whinnie the pooh anthology and a paddington bear one too, so that should do the first week

Anyway, off to the allotment now. Talk to you all later.

Hi all - new mum here Tegan is now 5 days old and I am really struggling with breast feeding. Especially at night when I am tired.

I'm not sure if it is my technique or the fact I have large breasts (34J)? can anyone give me some tips. I just can't get her to latch on properly she either just takes in the nipple or has her hands in the way or seems to latch on then loosens her hold until there is only the nipple in her mouth. I feel so bad keeping taking her off. she hates me moving her hands and when I put my hand behind her neck.

I am feeling like I am failing her and end up crying everytime I feed her. I end up just letting her feed on my nipple to make sure that she gets something. Which I know is not good. The MW seems happy with my breastfeeding when they watch but I will tell them when they call tomorrow that I am really struggling. I know there are helplines and support groups but I just can'tdo anything without crying and feel stupid.

Has anyone else felt like this? Does it get easier? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi Karen! Loads of experts here to help with that stuff and I am not one, hopefully someone will be along soon with some good advice.

Have you tried expressing, to give yourself a bit of a break and be sure she's getting something down her?

With big boobs especially I think they often have trouble when young and tiny and get better as they get older; my OH struggled til about 4 weeks when he really caught on. Seeing a BF counsellor definitely helped and reassured too.

Are you ok-ish with feeding lying down? It makes night feeds less frustrating and exhausting, and when you're being sleep-deprived it makes everything seem worse and harder. If it's possible, make OH give you breaks and naps - another reason why EBM can be good.

ETA Congrats on the baby though and Tegan is a lovely name. Hope everything else is ok, and someone will probably ask you loads of nosy questions soon :eek:
