Glam thanks, not annoying at all, but I am planning on making the most of it! Just now need Dh to understand that just becasue I'm home all the time and not at work doens't mean that he should stop doing as much around the house!!

I didn't think your post was offensive either BTW!

hun - my OH did diddly squat when I was pg, just after I had Jack and even now. He moans when he gets home from work and I've not done anything - he thinks I'm sitting around all day doing nothing! Pig!!

Thanks hun - right I really am logging off now as we are supposed to be watching a film

Some people are extremely touchy - I've offended people completely accidentally too.

I'm retiring to the sofa now to read and curl up under a blanket. With a cake.

Goodnight lovely ladies and lovely littlies.

Edit: Gah. Molly woke up just in time to interrupt my dinner and now has designs on my sofatime too.

Research tells us that mom's diet does not affect the average amount of fat or calories in her milk. However, mom can change the types of fat in her milk by altering the types of fats that she eats.

Some babies are just hungry. My baby was a hungry baby and fed 6 times a night for a long time!

Thanks feelinggood and thanks ladybird, it makes me feel better to hear of others whose babies didnt go through the night early on. Its not like its even a problem as its not like i have to be up in the mornings, but i started to feel like i was the only one. Mind u, despite being born lighter, he does now weigh more than both my friends older babies so he must be a hungry baby!!

You know what we could do with on here, is a tagging type thing like on twitter, so when we mention someone like @feelinggood, then it shows up on their profile. That would be great!!

Jack has gone down - took a while but he's on his front again. Anyone else put their LO's on their front before the 6 month mark? I'm just being paranoid!

My mum always tells me how me and my sisters slept on our fronts from the moment we were born with no ill effects and actually improved back muscles apparently.

jenny - have u been to the pool at crystal palace? finn is still young but is where i plan on trying 1st

I haven't looked there. The one in keswick was so good because it has a sloped floor all the way so no climbing down steps or being resigned to a baby pool where mum can't swim properly. It also had a parent toddler session which we went to so I was trying to find something like that down here.

fatty - not sure how true it is, but a book I'm ready (about babies & sleep) says there's actually research that says a baby's waking is not related to hunger at all, as newborns with feeding tubes (so tummies never empty) still wake every 3-4 hours as it's something to do with how they're programmed at that age?? again, take everything with a grain of salt but I thought that was interesting.

One of my health visitors (I think) said that if baby is sleeping through early it is probably just that mum is a heavy sleeper and doesn't hear baby wake, so baby gives up waking up. No idea how true it is though .

I haven't had this problem but Erin feeds loads in the evening - I keep her with me until we go to bed around 11 and feed again before she goes to sleep around midnight, the HV said this was Erin 'tanking up' for the night and that's why she can sleep through. Don't know if that helps.
