MSE Parents Club Part 9

Morning all. I keep reading then going off to do something else instead of posting. Having a (relatively) productive morning this morning considering I feel like a zombie. Izzy still has hajor dia-wah-wah so we were up for a while in the night with it, and I ended up having to give her milk to settle - she'd not eaten much either, so must have been starving, poor baby.

Hopefuly when nap time comes I can get in on the action too

Oh - my baby isn't scared of the hoover any longer. She let me hoover her feet and laughed when I hoovered her tummy

I don't think I posted yesterday so belated happy birthdays to MFD DSS and Caz's Lewis.

MFD - how did the meal go? Did DSS enjoy himself? I love how you, OH and PW are so civilised!



We've swapped one formula feed for moo milk this week and she's either not noticed or doesn't care. I actually think she'd just eat/drink anything!


I've got a climbing baby today. She's already been up the stairs at record speed, and is standing of her chair now.

The meal was lovely! In the end the Practice-Parents-In-Law and Practice-Brother-In-Law came a long too, with a couple of Practice-Nieces! I get along with them all fine though, they love Benjamin and they have never made me feel uncomfortable (PW lives with her parents so I do see them reasonably often).

DH and PW were civilised before I came along. They went on holiday together (with all DH's family) a couple of years before hubby and I got together. They weren't a couple but they all went off to MILs villa in Florida together.

The only freaky bit was PW and I have the same glasses (although I wear contacts so didn't have mine on) and we had both bought the same card for DSS!!!! I still don't know what to say/think about those things :eek:



Do you think that babies who have been BF are used to the taste of milk changing so it doesn't phase them? BM tastes different according to what you have been eating doesn't it? Whereas formula is always the same flavour? Just a thought *insert confused smiley*


And V the mountaineer reminds me that I keep forgetting to tell CM that Benjamin has started to pull things up to the sofa so he can try and climb on top of them!!! He hasn't made it onto the sofa yet but it is only a matter of time. Hubby caught him dragging his bucket of bricks over to the sofa and trying to get his little leg up on the top :rotfl:

MFD i think your right about the milk thing as erin has never bothered about her milk changing? My nephew is on special milk for weight gain and it smells awful, my sister has lots of problems getting him to take it and erin picked up his bottle and drank it?? although at the moment if she can eat it she will lol!

Aless - both! I know she's having trouble with wind because she's tensing up and arching her back a lot, even when feeding. Through the day she seems to bring up all of the wind but on a night it seems to be that she's got loads of trapped wind so occasionally brings up tenny burps, and some puke.

Although i did wonder if the puke was because i'm faffing her about trying to get wind up, with a full belly :rotfl:

hmmm I wonder if when Finn kicks his head back really far if that's him arching his back! I never even put 2 and 2 together, durrrrrrrrrr. Sometimes I hate being so new & naive at all this. (FWIW, Finn's big pukes have both happened not when I've been burping him but when he's been lying still on my back!)

I thought you got free school meals as long as you have an income below something around £15k? (i.e. if you have a low enough income for WTC then you also qualify for free school meals)

I think you need income support of JSA to get free school meals, we've never qualified anyway.

Ours are £10.80 a week and they get a choice of a hot meal, a sandwich or a jacket potato. Liv used to have them, but came out of school everyday saying she'd had a cheese sandwich and half an apple! So they're both on packed lunches now.

OH has just found out he's classed as a student, with a student card for the training and probationary period. I need to find out what that means to us. I think he's disregarded for council tax so we might get 25% off.

hi everyone,

having a sneaky post as i am on my own (shhh dont tell anyone)

MFD - glad DSS had a great night. a bit freaked out about the same glasses/card scenario

after lurking yesterday and reading about the change over of milk, which i had been thinking about, and also can't be doing with faffing about with an oz of this and that, i tried LO with real milk last night. just a few sips from a tumbler and she took it fine.

not sure about the BM/formula tastes but she has had both and a few different formulas at that and it hasn't bothered her taste wise.

sleeping is still up and down. she was awake for an hour during the early hours again, thankfully just not settling rather than constant crying.

Don't think the Sainsbury's thing is still on, no sign of it on the site. Does anyone know if you get a syringe in the box? I'd rather squirt it into the side of her mouth than faff with a spoon i think?

Beenie, go to the Pharmacy counter and ask if they have any. I cant remember but we either bought one for silly money like 20p or they gave us one??

Henry picked up Williams bottle of milk last night and started drinking it!!

Aless, Amber only pukes when she's still got some wind, so during the day that's only if i forgot to wind her, but on a night she will puke with her wind so it does sound like he's got a bit of trapped wind

3 - we got 25% off CT when OH was a student n I was working.

My gripe water comes in a box - £1.98 in ASDA

J woke at 3am for a cuddle which OH had a right moan about, then @ 5.30am for a bottle. I know its only because he was being fussy yday so only had 22ozs all day instead of around 30ozs!
He's not getting the option of being fussy today :cool:

I need to go to 3 different banks today but need to stay in & wait for OH's phone to be delivered. They sent him the wrong model on Wednesday!

I make up lots of songs throughout the day - when he has a poo he gets
'Poopy, poopy, poopy, pants, poopy pants, poopy pants, 'Poopy, poopy, poopy, pants, 'Poopy, poopy, pants' to the tune of I am the music Man and I can play .................................... :cool:

he seems to like it anyway!

Jillie - if its his 3rd jabs then its 3 not 2 :eek:
