Glad to hear that Toby is on the mend. No joy in that regard for my LO, hopefully in the next day or so.

Eek, off your food, which that happened to me

I'm so so, back at work which is a wrench, but getting there.

What about you? I see you have your Nanny due to start soon. Getting all ready for that?

I'm here, just done my online shop and now eating lunch while LO finally sleeps for a bit.

No snow here, but heavy snow is forecast for tomorrow :eek:.

Fattybooboo- fairies have posted the top. Fairies also have this dress in first size (up to 9lb) if anybody would like it. It was bought when fairies did not know the flavour of LO (along with lots of boys stuff I might add) but it turns out that it is surplus to Henry's requirement .



Let me know if anyone would like it.

Fairies also have 1 pair of Boots silicone nipple shields, BNIB which they would be very happy to send onto to anyone who may be in need of them. I bought them when I was struggling when Henry was first born but never actually needed them.

Anyone else thinking about MOTM's 15 yr old now? :eek:

Hiya

Not been on here for ages as Harry (now 9weeks old) has been taking up all my time and attention!

Just wondering how you little ones slept at this age, how much did they sleep during day and night and how did this sleep happen. We are all over the place still and just wondering what I'm doing wrong.......

Just had a call from the Agency, the Nanny starts on the 13th! Four hours a week. I really don't want to go through with it, but I'm going to have a chat with her, and ask if she'd be happy with more of a 'mothers help' than sole charge role. Ideally I'll be around for almost all of the time, but able to leave LO with her if I have something else to do, so will double check that she is okay with that.

I hope LO feels better soon. This is the first time Toby has been ill and I realise now how awful it is, really pulls on your heart strings. What is it like being back at work? Is it nice to get back to some sort of 'normality'? I always wonder when I'll feel normal again, but if I don't go back to work, will that ever happen?

Tia, thanks for the official name of Andrew's head mis-shape. Doesn't help as googling only brought up info sites, not suggestions! I've got him in a headlock made of muslins now!

MOTM, when I did something expensively daft (I rode my bike into the tail-light of a vintage Morgan), I was grounded and made to pay half of the cost, not all of it as it was excessive, but enough to make a serious dent in my savings.

Feelie, good to see you again!

Hi LCK :hello:

Henry is nearly seven weeks old (should be nine weeks, if you remember me from the pg thread, he was 15 day late :eek:). General pattern of sleeping is a short nap in the morning 30-45 minutes, a longer nap in the afternoon 2-3 hours, although this isn't set in stone and does depend what we are doing. Night-time we try for bed between 6:30-7:30pm ish. He then tends to sleep till about 2am (can sometimes go till 3 or 4am), has a feed and goes back off till 6-7am when he either gets up or has a feed and doses for another couple of hours (that partly depends on whether OH is getting up for work or not).

This is all still fairly fluid though and tbh we kind of fell into a routine rather than dictated to him. From about 4 weeks old we started putting him upstairs at 'bedtime' and this has helped him sleep for a longer initial chunk. Occassionally he wakes for a 10pm feed if he's hungry.

Hope that helps. How are you and Harry getting on aside from the sleep thing?
