Sometimes squash/cordial can have a windy effect too... Caz you had an improvement with Erin when you cut it out didn't you?

I'm not Caz, but I'll agree that squah can have an effect: it's the one thing that I haven't been able to have while bf. Elena used to be a little sick after each feed, and it wasn't until I smelt her breath once and it smelt just like orange squash that I realised what must have caused it! I was drinking it really diluted too... cut it out, and didn't have any further problems

yes krystal i had a really bad time of it and it was the one thing i didnt even think of! i cut out a lot of things but it didnt make a difference until i cut back on the diluting juice, she was fine on fizzy too lol!!!

sitting here thinking will i have an early night or have a nap just now? if i keep going i can get everything ready for tom and then we only have to get up and go or do i leave it all for later?

My OH was (and still is) a pain at night when J cries thinks he does it on purpose & gets right moody!

Sorry lovelies I seriously can't keep up at the moment! Just poking my head in quickly whilst OH is feeding the greedy monster.

Belated Happy Easter - hope everyone had a lovely one and stuffed themselves full of choc I didn't get any eggs But OH did bring me a creme egg from the shop this morning so I won't moan too much!

Som - I was told onion doesn't help wind, I've been trying to avoid. Also, someone suggested to me today (she's a HV with 4 kids, so I trust her advice ) to try boiling about 1oz of water and soaking some fennel seeds in it, then giving to baby. Supposed to help Glad to have read about the squash on here though, will try and cut it out of my diet and see if that helps at all.

EA lovely pic of Lily, such a cutie Sounds like you got a right old haul for Lily for easter!

MM I bet your kids will love that you've scrapbooked everything for them when they grow up (prob not during the teenage years but once they're grown ups!), it'll be fab to look back on.

:j for a well behaved sleeping Finn!

Boo to stupid OH Kindof Hope he's been apologetic today to make up for it. Elliot is a star only waking twice overnight, he should try a night in our house!!!

Thanks for everyones advice re: feeding the other day - carrying on with expressing solely for him at the moment, ordered an electric pump and a load of storage bottles

Ok baby calling can't read any further back, promise I will soon. Baby news here - weighed today at 9lb 7, so he's gone up 1lb 4 since last Tuesday!! Can't believe how much he's grown - HV was shocked by how tall he is too, over 60cm, taller than the average 6 week old apparently!! He's learnt to pull the dummy out of his mouth to replace it with his thumb now, so not sure how I'm gonna knock that on the head Will post a pic of him soon, feel like I've not had a second to myself since he arrived but visitors should quieten down this week so will get chance to come on and keep up hopefully xx

hi all,

hope you all had a good Easter.

not catching up as missed way too much! Evie got a sheep teddy from my sister & nieces for Easter but nothing else. Me and OH got each other eggs (well, we picked them in tesco and put them in trolley but OH paid when we got to till so technically he got mine & one for himself!) :rotfl:

Evie seems to have developed a wind problem in last couple of weeks. she's goes to bed fine as normal but will not let me put her back after her feed in night otherwise she just cries and wriggles round like mad. but you can tell she just wants to sleep bless her cos she fights to keep her eyes shut. :embarasse

The other day I had loads of fruit after lunch - 2 pears, 2 plums and 4 satsumas :eek: - and she was up in tears from 9pm when she'd normally go to bed til midnight. I felt so guilty cos it had affected me about an hour after i'd had it so i knew i'd probably pass it to her later but i had no choice but to feed her!

Oh, and she's still not going down properly for nap in day. She fights it for hours so when she does go I don't risk putting her down most of time cos i know she wakes up within 2 mins of putting her down, but it's getting so frustrating! :mad: any ideas??

OH is at work til half 4 and weather's been miserable here so we've just stayed in. And I made curried veg soup and a chocolate fudge cake instead of doing the housework! :j

Anyone been watch Masterchef?

didnt think about pasta! i have bananas that are a bit brown so thought about muffins?? im also making dough as i found bread flour in the cupboard and have the farmfoods frozen chicken tikka slices so thought about some sort of pizza??? making a batch of MDW biscuits and probably good old twinks(may not have any left by tom though ) tying to spend as little as possible on most of our days out so that we can spend a little extra at the scottish meet on sat!!!

cazscoob

maz have you wrapped her up nice and tight when she goes down? will she sleep on you??? remember its ok to let her cry sometimes even though its hard at the time! i know the feeling of being fed up and stuck in, yet again my darling children have moaned until i have let them out when i was planning on nipping to the town?
can i ask for the recipe for your soup please
