Evening everyone,

just catching up, hope everyones ok?

Angela I love that bookcase!! is it attached to the wall? I could do with something like that in jakes room as its a little tight on floor space,

Yes we attatched it to the wall with just two screws and placed caps over them ( like the ones you find on mirrors). The mdf to make it was about £12, the rest of the cost is paint and the letters. So if you had paint etc im sure you could make it cheaper and it takes up so little room x

Yup, four hours. Tomorrow I'll just potter about so LO won't be left alone for very long, then I'll gradually build it up till he is comfortable. He did stay alone wit Homestart lady for 30 minutes so hopefully it'll be the same with the Nanny.

Fantastic. Yeah good idea about building up gradually, that will definitely be the best bet for both of you. It will be lovely for him to have someone 'new' to play with and for you to have a little rest from being on call 24/7!

Elle, I knew there was something i meant to ask. I saw you had your 8 month check. When i got to mine the HV said the appts went out automatically but if they'd realised then i wouldnt have been called till 10 months as she was early. I asked what they would check to see if she was able to do any of it and to save us another visit and she said it didnt matter as they'd still have to do it at 10 months as she wasnt officially 8 months till then!!

I take it yours is not the same as i see you have your appt for around his 8 month mark?

Evening all another question am afraid, for those that use Gaviscon do you make the feeds up fresh as I have always made bottles up in one go, yes I know am a bad mummy but it never done dd any harm.

Who asked about CalCold the other day? Was it AF? I've got some in the cupboard if there's anything you wanted to me to check on the leaflet.

Fatty - does he have anything other than breastmilk? Any formula? Water?

I phoned to ask today because we've had no letter. Spoke to my HV who said "hang on, I'll ask" and I heard her say to a colleague "With him being premmie is it closer to nine months?", then she handed me over to said colleague who gave me a choice of dates and I just picked the one best for us, which is when Rhys is 8mths and 10days

I know there are quite a few things I've seen mentioned here that he won't be able to do (MFD mentioned pointing and I think SB mentioned being able to say mama/dada), but hey ho. He's getting visits (with no concerns) from loads of depts already so I can't see him needing any more help than we've already got access too, but we'll go along and nod and smile where necessary

Plus I wanna try out the sensory room at that particular childrens centre

I think they are both doing great...she can sit and clap her hands, but no pointing and def no mama or dada....think i say mama to her so often, she thinks its a game and laughs at me everytime i say it!!
