Only you and she know what's best for your relationship, but I didn't feel I could read without saying, Hey, I'm a bit worried for you, especially as you have not only your feelings but those of all your girls to consider. I hope I didn't offend you.

ooh sami i bet he was so scared!! did they let you go back and get him?

glam- yay for fruity porridge!! we got our free sample t'other week as well.

Kian was watching me have my toast this morning so i held a little bit out to see what he would do. didnt put his hand out for it but he did open his mouth so he knows where it goes anyway!! i put it on his tongue and the face he pulled was so funny. it was a !!!!!! is that!!!! but we do know that he's not ready for food yet phew!!! i duuno what i would have done if he'd grabbed it and put it in his mouth!! DH was laughing at the face he pulled. mean daddy!

How scary Sami - and how obnoxious of everyone to ignore him!

The Swiss security tend to be really, really obnoxious. It's generally much cheaper to fly to the UK through Switzerland but the extra hassle from security isn't worth the effort.

You haven't offended me in the slightest. It's good to hear outside opinions. My girls have always been my priority, I now have 8 to think of and I will always put myself last.

I'm worried, I just don't know the right way forward. I'm not wanting to upset her by going against her wishes. She intends to let them know tomorrow she's quitting, so no time to think really. I just want her to be happy and if it means going along with it and hoping something else comes up...

think you've got everything kinda. cos i was in and out of hopsital the last few weeks my bag was very empty!! was always ringing DH up saying bring this,that etc...

MOTM- the only thing i would suggest is that maybe she stays in that job till she can get another. even something part-time to get her out of the house. it at times does my head in being at home all the time. could not (i think) be a SAHM at the moment anyway. but then again i;ve not missed work either...

hi,

have been lurking since graduating from pregnancy thread.

bubs is now 2 weeks old & just wondered what people's opinions were on introducing a dummy while breastfeeding. i know the 'official ' advice is 1 month but she's already sucking her thumb and loves sucking thumb/fingers/hand for comfort & think she would benefit from a dummy, but don't wanna jeapordise bf. she's established with bf & we havent had any problems with it. had problems getting her to sleep at night recently as she's unsettled but went off nicely last night by sucking on OH's finger in crib.

really don't want her to get in habit of sucking her thumb but don't want to risk having problems with bf. health visitor just said its up to us.

any opinions?

Afternoon all..

Don't think I'm going to have time to read back over this mornings chatter. Hope all are well.. yays and hugs as necessary xx

We're off to see friends (Rhys' room buddy from NNU) this afternoon

There's a remote chance Rhys might be in bed at a decent hour tonight - he woke up for his first bottle at 7am this morning! Two middle of the night (bearing in mind Rhys' "night" is 2am to 10am!) wakings.. hmm, growth spurt - had better be! I've not forgotten to update my sig for weeks, he's just not gained anything much for quite a while :cool:

Hope everyone has a nice day xx

Maz, if it makes your life easier, go for it. Most of the babies on here have had no problems with nipple confusion. It did make Feelies Toby change his latch, but you won't know till you try.

It's a tough one. I'm here all the time - SAHD who works from home, so she wouldn't be alone.

My concern is that she doesn't have the confidence to go and do anything and because she's gentle and quiet, her boss takes advantage. I'm the opposite, i'd probably literally shove something up her backside (not that) and tell her to get back to me once she starts walking straight again. (The boss that is)

If she decides to quit, I can't do anything other than encourage her and try and find things for her to look into. I just don't want to patronise her or make her think i'm forcing her to do anything. She's had enough of that in her life. Maybe she just needs a break and will one day feel ready?
