Am I bad Mummy for letting Henry sit in a bucket?

He prefers it to his bouncy chair today and it means I can get on with stuff. It seems pretty untip-up-able but I have surrounded it with cushions just in case!

My sister tried to put William in the toy supermarkett trolley and he got stuck yesterday :eek::rotfl:

It was very good MFD - but I was very poorly on Saturday.

Argentinian meal was gorgeous, and I stuck to fish being a good catholic girl, much better than expected. (and Fellaini http://colunistas.ig.com.br/futebolingles/files/2009/07/fellaini-celebrate.jpg was sat at the next table! A bit gutted really as some friends were in a spanish restaurant two doors away and a pile of Liverpool players were in there.

We drank too much and danced to cheesy 80's tunes and got home after 3am!

they do tip though so good plan with the cushions

Yay for taking a bottle! We found that Benjamin needed to be hungry but not starving when hubby gave him a bottle and that I needed to be out of the way. The minute Benjamin got upset there was no way he would take one.

Caz got Erin to take one by wrapping it in her T-shirt.

If I had another I would definitely introduce a bottle by 6 weeks, or as soon as BF is well established, to prevent problems. Loads of my RL mummy friends have babies who won't take a bottle at all.


Why don't you use your MIL being there to do the housework (in another part of the house of course!!!)



I have now not been BF for 5 days, nothing to report on my boobies, they appear not to have noticed!! When can I go and be measured for a new bra? I don't think I have changed that much but would like to check (and to have the excuse to buy new bras )

I definitely agree with the bottle thing! #3 will be given a bottle about 3 times a week as soon as BF is established, I love my babies more than anything but 10 months having only been away from Edgar on about 5 occasions and all for less than 3hrs and in the daytime has really got to me!

Dunno about the new bra thing but someone (tia?) said theirs changed after their first period after stopping...

The problem is that I don't really have periods on this silly pill I am on (I do seem to bleed on and off all month round though!!).

The first thing my now-mummy-friends said to me when I went to booby club was 'get him on a bottle asap if you want him to take one'. I think Benjamin was maybe 2 1/2 weeks.

Just checked my phone and there is a pic of him having his first bottle on 7th April 2009, a year ago tomorrow. He is SO tiny :A

Ooh intresting stuff about when to give ebm, was planning on doing a bottle feed soon but then keep thinking sod it and just never get around to it. I know we talked about going to cinema next month so might be a good idea to start soon so she gets used to it.

Gisi - love the pics of H

right off to try upload a vid of Tahlie from my phone!

yay! 12 noon and we are both dressed for the day now, what slobs! Only so I can go for a walk and a coffee and wander past shops and be deeply un-:money:

I think Tom had his first bottle of EBM when he was under a month old and doesn't seem to have done him any harm. Until Friday, he'd only had at most half a dozen bottle feeds and I don't know what his daddy did on Friday but Saturday morning when I was feeding him, he was holding the bottle himself! What really has amazed me is that while I was determined to bf, I wasn't sure how I'd get on with it, let alone stick with it for the recommended 6 months but how amazingly easy and convenient it is, and I can see now why ladies do it for longer.

This is why I don't exercise...just doing some yoga on the Wii Fit and the phone rings not once, not twice, but THREE times in the middle of various poses. So I gave up and had my lunch (need to do that before Finn wakes up or I won't get another chance for a long while)...watch, now it won't ring again all day .
