    Afternoon all..
    I'd go back to work regardless (he's not on enough now for even a £14k rise to be enough to stop working altogether!) but it was just so funny.. she got all stroppy with it :o

    Lol Elle :) what would you all consider "enough for mum to stop working all together" in total then? :)

    any thoughts on the dream feed? Should I do it at 11pm if he only dropped off at 10pm? :confused:

    I wouldn't if it was me. As far as deep sleep goes, it's not so much length, its cycles, right? So newborn baby sleep cycles are 40-50 mins long, so they're at their lightest after 40-50, heaviest halfway thru the next, lightest again after 80-100... etc. It's one of the many reasons babies wake up briefly, wail and go back to sleep! :)

    as for the jars that's a good idea. i'll take a few but will they want me to taste them i wonder??


    Where are you flying from? As long as LO is not overly fussy you will definitely be able to buy them from airside - Birmingham had loads, just not loads of carton formula.





    Where is Mooki :(

    I wouldn't
    Where do I get a free one????

    IME everyone uses it because babies can work it!! Although all are BF babies - not sure if that makes a difference?
    I got one free from the HV around 6mths it was when they gave me the bookstart goodie bag too as well as totthpaste I think. Also got one from SMA along with a hooded towel and bib when I signed up to their website. got a 3rd one when i joined surestart but the lid on that was moulded not fold down and didn't go down as well with Chris.

    Bruno to be fair octomum's E was about 9yo so you nicked her childs name :rotfl:
