When DD was baby it was in nude but that was 12 years ago :eek: now its done with clean nappy and vest.

It was nude here with my DD 13 yrs ago but so many others are nude still. I personally don't see that stripping a wee baby, esp in the middle of winter can be of any benefit

Do you have any other kids or just the 2?

Still need to save up for it though :rolleyes: I need to figure out how long i've got to have the money - when did your babies move into cots? Prob won't be in sale by then but i'm sure i'll find a similar one for that price

She has a basket and a crib atm.

We built Henry's cot in our room last night as he's getting too big for his moses basket. He wouldn't sleep in it though, so ended up in his moses basket in the cot! He's a great big chunk though, so I am sure Amber will last longer in hers than him.

Henry weighed a monstrous 13lb 10oz at the Dr's yesterday- not bad considering he'd had a (mild)tummy bug and a cold since he was last weighed a week ago.

I have myself a heart attack earlier when I was updating my budgeting spread sheet. For some reason, I managed not to include OH's wages (AKA most of our income at the moment) so it looked like we couldn't afford the mortgage :eek:. Thankfully I have now sorted it, I never was much of an Excel whizz. There's no council tax next month, is there? Is it Feb and March we don't pay? Happy days if it is as our car tax is due in March.

SM- sorry to hear about your washing machine. I agree with Fitz that it is worth asking on Freecycle. We just gave away our old TV, and OH and I both agreed that we'd be happy to deliver locally if needs be as we really wanted to be rid of it, and we're out and about in the car quite often anyway so it's really putting us out.

I'm off out later to get ingredients for this soup. Nom, nom.....

How much ready brek do you give? We've been doing 2 heaped dessert spoons (instead of 5 on box) and she struggles with that, with weetabix, she'll have about 1/2 of 1! Isn't it funny how much little boys and girls seem to differ in their appetites? Must grow out of it though as I eat like a horse all the time!

He has the equivalent of half a 7month+ size jar of ready brek! My boss's boy is 6 weeks younger than Seth, and he barely eats anything but still chugs down bottles every 3 hours! They know what they want, dont they!

Going to check my BMI, but I prefer the measurement of "my belly sticks out [this far] over my trousers" to see how I'm doing.

:rotfl: But you can't make a nifty spreasheet to calculate that for you.

General stuff - I'm glad the March babies are still having morning and afternoon bottles. When I saw the HB last week, she told me I should be trying to drop them and only keep the early morning and bedtime bottles but to make sure she still has at least 600ml of milk a day. I know the milk is in cheese, yoghurts, mashed potato, on her weetabix, etc but I don't think I'd be able to get 600ml into her from just two bottles and food each day. Besides, I don't think Caitlin will give those two bottles up very easily just yet!

We only went from five to four breastfeeds at 13 months (and only went down to two feeds when she was almost two).

Hi Susan, I seen last night you were hoping to try for baby 2 when Alice stops feeding, just wondering, are you letting her stop on her own or encouraging her off it?
