    I've been looking for some BF suitable tops, but i want long ones so i can wear leggings and also so they cover my bum :p

    2 questions... Does anyone know where i can find some long ones?

    And
    Why do all the nursing tops show pics of a heavily pregnant woman? I'm not pregnant anymore, that's why i am breastfeeding, so i don't need extra space for a bump? :confused:

    Sterilizing - I did all breast pump parts between pumps (so 8 times a day) despite knowing I didn't need to. Botlles and dummys were always done, but I don't do food things. If LO ever has a bottle I'd do that.

    Weaning - LO has always been a hungry and wakeful baby. We waited tii 6 months though, to be safe. He got involved in other ways though. I think it is easier to wait with breastfed babies because you can just feed on demand. LO still wants milk, milk and more milk and still wakes for feeds since starting solids.

    I'm on iPhone so getting muddled, who mentioned new passport? Yay for safe hub too. Bruno, don't know if you saw me suggest mothers help the other day, might be a cheaper and less worrying option compared to nursery. Glam, have you tried smaller and more frequent bottles? LO wouldn't ever have more than 100ml and still wanted 1200ml in a day. Yay for sitting baby (10 scs is great).

  • Okay- on my high horse for a mo. Just looking at pics on fb and have seen my ten month old nephew out in the snow with bare feet and a RL friend's 9 week old baby laid in the snow, posing for pictures. I mean !!!!!! is wrong with people?! Rant over.

    Fattybooboo- glad you got the top. I got the large vests from Jojo and they're fine on the chest but loose in the body. I mostly wear them at night though so not too worried. Fingers crossed we both get a better night tonight.

    Beenie, I go for normal tunics and a belly band usually. I find that I don't show much belly anyway, as I have lo on my lap and lean forward. Enormous boobs help though!

    F-booboo, nice to 'see' you, hope you get a better night tonight. Touch wood so far today Isla's like a different baby, she musnt have liked me telling everyone yesterday that she's a grinch :o

    Gisi I cant understand why people do that with their LO's. An old school friend has her 10 week old DD in a snow suit propped upright against a snowman on her FB The poor thing looks frozen, uncomfortable and totally fed up :mad:
    Love the pic of Henry too, must find my bumbo now you've reminded me!

    Beenie if you find any nice tops please let me know where from. Im desperate for something different to wear, currently rotating a few h&m nursing tops which were maternity ones too so I look huge as they were rather stretched by 40+ weeks.

    SM - hope philip gets some good news about being kept on.

    I sterilise breast pump, dummies and bottles but never bothered with bowls etc as by that time LO was rolling around on the floor so figured it wasnt worth it.

    Oooops have looked in my cupboard and found 2 swimming costumes and 2 belly bands that Emma Jayne sent me and I never sent back or did surveys for..... not sure what to do with them :confused: ideas???

    Ah that reminds me also got a babasling that I have to test for Bizziebaby....
