MSE Parents Club Part 9

Morning,

Been lurking a bit whilst feeding and entertaining Holly. Now being a bad mummy as she is watching Baby TV and laughing away at it whilst I am having some Coco Pops. Going to drag myself out today and meet my friend for a lunchtime curry. As long as I can get the car up the hill.

Whoever was saying about the bouncy chair being like a toilet, it's the same here, so my thinking is that I will shake a "jobby" out of her before we go out. She normally only does 1 per day, but they are messy! It's no coincidence that the bouncy chair is a Winnie the "POO" one.

There is a list of user names on the MSE Gossiping Girls/Guys page thing in MM/SM/Sami's signatures, but it's not got everyone on it. Not sure if it's the same as the one Ladybird has.

Just got my tax credits award in (didn't think they'd do it til Child benefit was claimed?) she's not even been registered yet. I had no idea the CTC would double for the 2nd child, and even more so for being under 1, so very happy with that.

Think i'll now be able to start putting enough aside for December, everything expensive seems to happen then for me. Christmas, Amber's birthday, Car MOT (< owwie) Car Tax... So i neeeeed to start planning my money properly, although not as well as SM i'm not that organised I have a spreadsheet which sees me through a few months but not a year :eek:

Really need to do mine..have done CB form but waiting to find out what happens with childcare vouchers now I'm on ML

Game are fobbing me off saying the sales of good act applies to the manufacturer and not the retailer. What a load of bobbins! Should I phone the other Game in Aberdeen? I am sick to death of places like this robbing you and scamming you!

Buttons I always ring up before I try and take something back, people usually agree on the phone and then dont when you're in front of them so you've got a name then that you can point fingers at!

*Feigns shock* Bizziebaby have actually sent a review form, for Seths manly pink cup they sent me in October!! They want to know about the packaging though, and I cant remember cos it was so long ago, should I just make something up

I meant to ask how everyone's ebaying went yesterday?

I've still got one and a half things to list - one's half done with the photo uploading (slowly.. grrr) right now.

Holy crap!

Molly's down for a nap, although not yet asleep. She was whinging about something, so I went in to soothe her. She was playing with the binkie. I leaned over to take it from her and put it back in her mouth - she attempted to put it in mine instead.

Such a smart girl.

Morning All :hello: We're back from the Paediatrician appointment, mixed feelings. Are they trained not to be enthusiastic or something?

First of all, we've now got a referral to the eye specialists because Andrew didn't focus on and follow her face. He was too distracted by the black plug & power cord plugged into the white wall next to him! Doesnt she know anything about babies and colours?

Then, she's not happy with his weight gain (he's now 7lb). For a week, we are to try and increase his milk intake by 10%, which will be difficult as we struggle to get his current feeds down him (100ml EBM a time). If that doesn't work, then I think she's going to force us onto a mix of EBM & formula, which will be annoying as I'm proud of the fact that he's been almost completely breastmilk fed. She wants us to hold off starting weaning until at least after the next 4wkly appointment.

I now have to stop stressing about all this, as it'll affect my milk production too, and remember that we still have a beautiful little boy.

aww tigs, sorry it didnt go as well as you had expected.
with feeding, my thoughts are that you have done fab to have b-fed/ebm so long. if you have to do a mix of both, those weeks of having just the breast milk will have done a huge amount of good. please dont stress too much about it. if it means andrew puts on the weight he should be (all babies are different) then it must be a good thing. doesnt elle give rhys a mixture of feed/milk?
