    I did put these on FB yesterday but didnt post them here! Someone was asking about bath chairs a while ago? Here's Seth proving they're good ;)

    Susan we have a snuggle nest as OH was against me co-sleeping and this was a compromise. I did find it helpful at first but it got thrown out of the bed quite quickly and we now fully co-sleep. I do think it helped bridge the gap between moses basket and directly in our bed for OH to be aware of her in the bed. I think Gisi had one too for Henry.

    Did you find the snuggle nest a good buy? I wasn't sure about getting one but wish I had, it took me a long time to get to the stage where I was comfortable having Molly in bed with us and not waking up frantically searching for her, convinced that one of us had squished her in our sleep. I might purchase one for the next time...

    In other news, I have just found a small cat asleep in my handbag! Stupid animal has melted the wispa gold I had stashed in there!! :eek:

    :rotfl: Sorry about the collateral damage to your Wispa.
    I'm glad Seth's doing better, though. We had a poopsplosion this morning that made me heave while changing it.

    Just had a message from a friend - baby Edith has arrived safely :j

    Edit: Susan, I was thinking specifically about Weezlie because she posted right there and it was really playing on my mind.

    Lovely photos Em, and I agree about FF and BF too.

    This is something that plays on my mind, I'd happily go through two labours if it cancelled out the initial toe curling, eye-watering feeds. As Isla fed so much last night this morning one boobs in agony and I've had to get the lansinoh out for the first time in weeks. My nearly 11 week old thinks she's a newborn again :o
    I used to sometimes get sore again if Alice fed a lot more than usual - I think it happened two or three times but not since she was about nine months.

    That's good to hear. It's particularly when the baby is small that OH is worried about.

    In RL I'm an absolute sweetheart and would never set anyone on fire, not even if they messed with my building materials or didn't call me Mr Dave.

    Don't spoil my mental image of you with matches permanently about your person incase the need arises to set someone on fire :rotfl:

    Poo is better today thank you, much more textured!! No early morning bath today, but a poop was had at 6am on the dot which did require a change of PJ bottoms!

    In other news, I have just found a small cat asleep in my handbag! Stupid animal has melted the wispa gold I had stashed in there!! :eek:

    Glad Seth's getting better but the kitty would have been in big trouble!

    I knew their was something else, Weezl I would have had to be restrained from the midwife :mad: What an awful thing to say. So just for you as you asked so nicely

    Yuk SS. You use real nappies as well dont you? _pale_
    One of the reasons OH stayed off work to look after us last week was cos I had to dump Seth to crawl around with poop all over him to go and puke!

    You know, I'm still totally upset about Keira's school pic. I can take better ones, and :mad: at her teacher for putting her fringe in her face. I'm so lame, but I'm annoyed, they didn't capture her boooootiful eyes, and the pose squashes her cheeks. I'll still buy it, it's nice......but I'm not buying the £87 acrylic canvas option they do :eek:

    Buttons- Mac cheese, OH makes it in our house, he uses mature cheddar and extra mature. Also a little bit of mustard and nutmeg. His mac cheese is amazing!!! The cheese is so thick and yummy it coats your teeth and your teeth feel like they are melting! I always request mac cheese and chips for my tea when I'm feeling a bit off, great comfort food.

    Junk food- My DD only started eating chips at age 11! She doesn't like McDonalds!!! Weirdo!

    Would any of you mind if I used some of your comments in my argument? Jillie, particularly what you said about feeling that there is no support.

    I dont mind.
    Morning all :)

    MM I think a feeding support group is a fab idea !!

    FF mums are not evil, but yet are pretty much just left to their own devices as its just making up a bottle !! If only !! As a 2nd time mum, I am expected to know everything , but how am I supposed to know that when it wasnt an issue with my first !!

    I agree , theres less support for 2nd time mums even before baby is born, let alone afterwards...we are all individual and what suits some doesnt suit others.. as long as we all agree to disagree then thats all that matters.

    Yes, and it was EPIC. This business of introducing solids right when babies get more wiggly is highly problematic and ill thought out.
