Evening everyone,

Not had chance to catch up except for the last page.

So hugs all round.

The playgroup where I want Katie to go phoned tonight, they are sending me an application form for me to complete. She is going to have a couple of settling in sessions before the summer break ready for September.

After discussions with DH we have decided to send her half days Monday to Friday. Mornings Monday, Wednesday and Friday and afternoons Tuesday and Thursday so that she can still go to her toddler groups.

Then in September I have to start school applications :eek::eek:, fortunately I am almost guaranteed a place at my first choice school as it is linked to the church we attend I just need a letter from the minister confirming that.

Lol Glam I just saw ur message!!

Hi everyone!! I havent caught up so hope everyone is well. I went to my first baby group today, called baby PEEP where we sang songs and did hand actions etc with our babies. I really enjoyed it, think Toby was taking some of it in, but was more interested in looking at the lady next to me, lol!!

Can I ask a quick BF question. Toby is now 9 weeks old and the last few days my nipples have got soooo sore, when he latches on it is super painful for a little bit then eases thank god!! I can see a sore bit on each nipple and have been putting lansolin (sp?) cream on. The thing is, I am not sure why this has suddenly started happening 9 weeks in. Could it be where he is getting older and more forceful when he feeds?

Has anyone else had this happen? I guess I am asking for reassurance that it will get better again and stop hurting soon!! I did consider trying the rugby hold to see if that would help if he was latching on from a different angle? I am pretty sure he is still latching on correctly. Thanks in advance!!

Elle - hope you don't mind me asking but in the first picture of Rhys, why is his leg strapped to the side? Is it because he had a drip or medication going in?

Course I don't mind! It's not strapped to the side, it's resting up on the gel sausage which made a ring around him, covered in a sheet. He has a splint on it (foam blocks and velcro straps) which was to keep his ankle bent at the same angle, so he didn't dislodge the canula in his foot.

That would have been a drug one in his right foot; TNP (nutrional fluid they have before EBM) was in left foot; thingy to take blood out was in his right hand (he had hourly blood gas tests where they took 0.2ml of blood a time) and another drug one in his left hand.

ETA: just looked at the pic again.. he hasn't got anything in his left hand or foot! The above is that he did have for the majority of the time That pic was when he was a day old so was before they started [STRIKE]seeing any point in[/STRIKE] giving him TNP, and whacking him on so many drugs :rolleyes:

Hi all

Welcome back Caz! Happy Birthday Charlie!

Would love to come to a meet but think I'm a bit out of the way from everyone

Can't bear to watch the news at the minute with all the crying babies/orphans from the earthquake. I watched it at dinnertime and was crying buckets. It's just so awful it makes you realise how lucky you are. I gave Caitlyn an extra tight hug. I wish I could hug all the poor little babies over there.

Caitlyn's in bed and I'll be joining her soon! DH not been home from work long and is now fast asleep on the sofa. Going to Ikea tomorrow with my sister so am excited about that! (Sad I know!)

booboo, I have phases of Ed having weird latch and or unexplained sore patches, do try different positions esp if you have a small patch of soreness and it could be a bump on his gum rubbing on it and the differnt angle will give it a bit of respite.
Does that make sense?

More hugs for MFD! My son has become clingy over the the last few days and I'm not used to it at all! Poppy was/is a Daddy's girl :rolleyes:.

Aw SB, Benjamin started with the clingyness over the weekend. I thought it was because we spent the weekend celebrating MILs birthday so there were lots of 'strangers' around. Apparently not :rolleyes:

I am hoping he just sensed that I was really stressed and was reacting to that.

Hope that JJ settles down soon xx

Im good thanks, how about yourself? Were you missing for a little while too? Just looking at gymbabes that 3 mentioned earlier think I might book Lexi in she is standing alone now and walks holding one hand she also took her first mini step today (sorry mini brag!)

YAY - go Lexi :T:T


Caz - I am back at work full time, Benjamin goes to a lovely childminder 4 days a week and MIL has him on a Wednesday. Benjamin has 2 teeth, is finally starting to grow hair and I can't keep him still! He kisses everybody except me ATM and he will stand for daddy but not for me! His first words were 'no, no' :rotfl::rotfl:and as of today his favourite thing is clapping :T

I am SO pleased to see you xx

Thank you Sami, that makes total sense. I will try the rugby hold next feed (which will hopefully be soon) and see if that is less painful. Glad it wasnt like this at the beginning!!
