Woohoo! They emailed me back and said "no thanks but feel free to drop down to the Arndale during the day". Like I'm going to drag myself down there on the off-chance - but maybe I will if it's on the off-chance of meeting you

Kian is starting to hold his bottle now while i'm feeding him, not all the time and certainly doesnt have the strength yet to hold it all himself, so the bottles that have the handles to hold, are these any good? i was thinking of getting one so he could get used to holding it properly??

Jack has now started pushing the bottle anyway when he doesnt want anymore :rolleyes: can get annoying esp. when he does want more but wont get hands out the way!

pink - my understanding is the 6 month one as she needs the extra iron which wont be in the stage 1. Jack is on Aptamil 2 & will go on the follow on milk with the Hipp Good night milk which I will get in Tesco - thanks MFD

JHA - welcome and congrats. sorry things didnt go so well (off to look at pics)

Welcom JHA and Orit-Rhian, I had failed induction and EMCS due to failure to progress with my first, if you ever want to talk it through feel free to PM me. It doesn't matter how they get here, but it took me a long time to accept that at the time.

Beenie - If you ever find out about healthy start vouchers and Tesco online could you please let me know! I am apparantly entitled to these but don't bother claiming them because I do all my shopping online and really cannot be bothered to make a special trip out just for baby milk!!!

As we suspected, they can't be used online. I just rang them

So i've cancelled all the milk and veg off my online order and will have to go out and get it all separately

glad the soft cheese is a useful lead you're only 25 miles from the Delamere dairy (very large distributor of goat's milk) but they haven't got a shop on site sadly

Oh don't be sorry re: willy, I am very glad kester is a boy and I think two boys closer in age is even more lovely and playmatey for them both.

And I mustn't idealise the mother/daughter bond and imagine intimacy, sharing secrets and craft activities, because that's not always how it is in real life

Delamere is what asda sell they also handily offer a voucher for a free litre if you email them with why you like their milk so I plan on utilising MIL and mum's address
I know how u feel about the daughter thing but Edgar clearly idolises Christopher already though so I can honestly say if I could go back in time I wouldn't swap him for a girl

Pinkpig - any formula is fine now, I think the 6mth+ stuff is cheaper so go for that

And can I ask because this always seems to be the issue with people who are against it: Have you ever seen someone breastfeeding in public not doing it discreetly?

I erm... have seen one woman making a very big deal out of breast feeding and make a complete tit of herself, she was very over the top. Yelling as people walked by, boob out and left hanging out as she put the baby back in the pram then she sat and faffed about putting things back in her bag before finally putting boob away. Attention seeking, think she was disappointed that nobody tutted.

Maybe she was a journalist :rotfl:

Tia - why wouldn't Chris get a 1 on 1 helper at a 'normal' school? if he came to mum's school he would, they already have a lil boys with downs that had a similar level of speech as Chris when he started and the LEA fund his assistant

You tell me Sami When I did ask I was told that it just wouldn't happen. Parents have to fight for years. We'd get a couple hours a day and be grateful apparently. I have to look into though. Don't know nearly enough about it all.

Hi :wave:

May i join please? Baby orit-rhian arrived on 6th Jan. A huge thank you to those that helped me with the info on pre-eclampsia:D Didnt write a birth story as too horrible:o suffice to say it was a failed induction and emergency c/sec due to failure to progress and feotal distress.:rolleyes:

Pre - eclampsia is still hanging on in there and have nasty womb infection - but cant complain got a lovely baby girl and she was worth every seccond of it:D and :T:T to the staff at UHW in cardiff whose emergency care was excellent:D

Course you can join! And if you ever do decide you need to ofload to someone who has done the whole Pre-eclampsia and horrible birth thing, my PM box is open. It does get better though.

I filled out the questionnaire, with my very militant views, so if they want someone to counter the 'breastfeeding is indecent' person, they have me!

Welcome JHA, I was induced due to pre-eclampsia and was prepped for a c-section due to baby being in distress, you have my sympathies.

jha - she is gorgeous and so tiny!

OH just feeding Jack some apple - problem is I made it a bit too lumpy, added hot water to warm it up and thin it out but it's a bit watery. Was the batch I made before I got the hand blender so will try him on the apple I made yesterday when I feed him tomorrow.
