Good luck with venturing out though xx

Morning all,

I read your bedtime routine posts with much interest. At the moment, I have a 4 month old baby who sleeps through the night. We just put her down whenever she looks tired which recently has been around 10pm, and she has been sleeping until about 9am. If we decide to put her down at any time, we just lay her in her basket/crib (occasionally she takes her soother) and she goes to sleep herself within 5 minutes. She has been like this since day dot, so I have been more than happy to let her dictate and not try to manipulate any kind of routine. However, I decided that in the new year, I would try to work towards some sort of routine in preparation for going back to work later in the year so it’s interesting to see what others do.

It must have been a night for screaming babies last night. Holly screamed the house down for about 20 minutes. I have never seen anything like it. She looked like she was in real pain – bright red and choking from screaming. She never ever does anything like that. We had her outside for a few minutes in case she was too hot. I stripped her nappy off her in case something was hurting her. She would not take soother/bottle etc. It was awful. Evenutally she took a breather when we put her cot lightshow projector thing on and DH shoved some Calpol down her. Then she was calm enough to take her bottle. We figured it might be teething related and she went to sleep fine after that and is in great spirits this morning. It was very worrying though.

Buttons – how is Keira this morning? I would take her to the doctors if you are worried.
Maz – lovely pictures of your boys.

okay, i think i'm like caz and have an addication to prams/strollers. well to be honest, i've never got the one i wanted (except for our one that had the carry cot) so i am looking again as the one we were given i'm not a fan off and even my MIL said about it, so i am going to look at another one.

a question ... maclaren or silver cross???? i would like a footmuff as LO is terrible with blankets and will kick her feet like there's no tomorrow. saying that, i had a mama and papas foot muff that the zip has gone on because of how she kicks.

oh what to do ...i am searching online for a good deal (to soften up hubby) but i should be doing my work (well i am, but just not as quickly as i could)

AF - I got this last week, and love it! http://www.nurseryvalue.co.uk/pushchairs/petite-star-zia-dogtooth-inc-footmuff--matching-change-bag.aspx

I've still got my big pram, for big walks and shopping, but this one is great for in the back of the car and the school run.

eek fitzio, hopefully holly snaps out of it soon for you guys.

mm, hope your bum feels better! it's sooo slippery all over the UK. REally rotten as I'd like to go out, but seriously doubt I can get the pram back up the hill!!

has anyone else not gotten post for at least 3 days? :rolleyes:

Should have bought a Stokke AF

I am thinking of buying a footmuff for it though, Benjamins legs are getting long and they dangle over the end of the seat now. I wrap him in a blanket but still worry.

Although, having said that it will be summer soon

Ooooh! Our four-time bellringer was the postman bringing us a box of stuff from BIL in Florida - a Paul Frank sleepysuit and a Roxy dress plus a teddy bear and a photo album for Molly ........ and a wedding invitation. BIL is getting married in Bermuda in July.

I'm going to take a shower and then look at flights!!
