Beenie, are you going to booby group tomorrow?

BeenieCat

Yeah i think so :eek: The nice hv from the other day said she's gonna meet me there, she wouldn't really take no for an answer which is what i need really . She said we'll fill in some forms to get me registered for some of the activities in school hols etc so that i've got another reason for going, so i can quietly scarper if i want to lol.

Sounds good to me What time is it you have to be there? Do you want pestering all morning?

Some of the girls I see at Boogie Babies go to booby group on a Weds morning. They asked me about joining them but I'm not too sure.. one of the reasons being it's in a morning :cool:

:rotfl: You and Sami are gonna be no good for school, i thought i was bad . I'm meeting her at 10:30, so i'll get a shower when i get home from school run to wake me up (not that the drive to school doesn't wake me up lol!)

I had a flat tyre today :eek: I rang the RAC to come and put my spare on lol. I thought i'd get a lecture for being a dumbass but he obviously realised i'm obviously clueless.

I've got seven weeks before my KIT days start... at some point, I will relearn how to wake up to an alarm clock Another advantage to putting Rhys in his own room - I can have my alarm clock back on!

Talking of babies in own rooms, did Glam tell us how Jack was last night in his big boy room?

I have no idea how to change a tyre either.. :cool:

morning all Really sorry, cos I normally do catch up with everything each day, but life is apace at the moment.:o

Am in work today for the last but one of my epic commute days- so glad about this :):):):):):):):):):):):):) can't even express how I feel about it nearly being over. I still wish I hadn't had to make the decision to go back for a bit, but I knew it would mean having to go back when Kester is 9 months rather than having the option of a year. So I just keep hanging in there and thinking of him :cool:

We interviewed a child minder yesterday.Well, we went for a cuppa at her house. Fergie the most placid baby in the world howled when he first met her!

He then cheered right up and took to her really well, but I've never seen him do that with a new person before. He was proper sick though a few mins later, so maybe that was why... My mum had given him some liver sausage which I'm not sure Annabel Karmel would approve of so maybe that was it :rotfl:

No texts from Tara, so I'm going to assume she's all set up. Thoughts are with you all :A:)

Love Weezl x

P.S. Tara, if you do stop by this morning, know that I am thinking of you, DD and Poppie. Every good thought I have is winging its way to Bristol as we speak. xxxxx

Morning all. Didn't get that good nights sleep I was hoping for, but never mind.

I remembered while I was up with Izzy in the night - whoever it was having problems with poo (can't remember who it was, sorry) - I don't think I saw anyone suggest prunes. Either as finger food if you are weaning, or whizz a few up with other fruit as a pudding

Whoops, just realised what else I've missed off my calendar - seeing Sami on Mon 1st too! :doh: Tis in there now.. :whistle:

And ":eek:" at 10am meets more than an hour away? Do you guys know what time I get up?!

Lol! Of course if you were coming elle we would meet later (would give me plenty of shopping time first too!) It's cause I'm only 20 mins away from M'Hall and saves me going home to come out again shortly after.

Sorry for the abrupt finish last night, she had started crying and I knew I probably wouldn't get back on.

Glad to hear Tara's daughter is getting food and help now.

I read that thread that turned into FF v BF, I clicked the bottle feeding benefits link
I 'like' this bit best

The mother can go about her daily chores, or to work without frequent feeding intervals or pumping. She can also leave the child under the care of her partner, or other caretaker. In public, bottle-feeding is much more convenient.
daily chores??

I'm not sure how (assuming you're following guidelines which mention nothing about how long after sterilising it is ok to use a bottle) making a fresh sterilised bottle up and then cooling/warming it to correct temp is more convenient than lifting top and lowering bra though

btw the debate on that thread has seriously upset at least one person care about

Boo to nasty thread. I can't say I ever had to feed Alice that frequently - I remember when she was newborn the MW said she should be feeding at least 8 times/day but Alice was usually seven (but managed to gain 6oz by day ten and another 10 by day 16 so was obviously having enough). I think it probably depends more on the baby than on the method of feeding. It makes it sound like feeding abbies is an inconvenience to mothers and an interruption to their lives. When Alice was very small I can't say I had much need/desire to leave Alice to go anywhere but on the odd occasion I did I left her with OH and if I was gone long enough for her to need a feed then he gave her a bottle of EBM - it wasn't that hard.
