    Hi feelie. Not that I think Iwant one but what is a nursing necklace. I followed the link and while it looked quite pretty I couldn't really work out what it is for. I use a hairband as a bracelet to remind me which boob we need to use next feed but can't see that the necklace would help with that.

    Sorry if I'm being really thick but could you enlighten me please.

    Ta xxxx

    I'm glad you posted this! You say you are using a hairband, think you'd like this?:

    I don't use it (I forgot when getting that and the necklace that I hate jewlery!) and will happily give it to the Faries to post if you'd like it.

    Older babies are often really grabby - Toby likes to get a fist full of boob, or pinch my arm. A big, colourful beaded necklace can keep them entertained and give them something to fiddle with.

    ouch at the energy bills Tia :(

    Have you read baby whisperer ever? She says some quite interesting things about cry to sleep babies and how they release their over-stimulatedness that way.... Now what was she recommending... maybe swaddling or massage, I can't remember... Can dig it out if you fancy?

    I cry to let out tension too! Me and ambertronic can have our own little weep to sleep club :)

    Fair play :) I'm with you on that one laydee! *shifts uncomfortably on her donut cushion* :D

    moving upstairs with lappy to bed, you can all perch precariously on my big bump in my warm bed!

    Approximately how hormonal am I? I was just weeping at someone's avatar! (different thread) The lady just has a really sweet face, and I looked at her and thought, 'oh I think you are a kind person with a good heart!' and then all tears came (lots)! And DH asked why and I told him. He is very perplexed but thinks I am sweet...

    Weezl, I'm not that bothered about her crying (its so true what they say about third time mums!). I do check on her so she is not left to scream (which I don't like doing), she just seems to spend 15 mins crying (either in her bed or being held or on our bed or in the bouncy etc) then she will suddenly rub her eyes and look all contented and fall asleep. It's not every night either. There is nothing wrong with her, she just wants to cry. The boys were like that too, more so DS2. I read a bit about crying as stress release and think thats all it is, she just needs to unwind or something.

    Harley, my fairies found the post office today ;)

    Glam, Ambertronic still grabs my hair even when I have an interesting necklace on. She can have that in her hand and still grab a handfull of hair and laugh at me! Evil little robot baby!
