MSE Parents Club Part 11

Morning everyone,

hope everyones well?

Susan what about putting them on ebay? or does the person who gave them use ebay, that would be embarrasing if they happened to see them on there!!

after my milk dried up it was about 6 weeks before there was absolutley nothing there, if i squeezed a little bit would come out, i only knew that cos jasmine got conjuctivitis so i thought i would see if there was any left to put in her eye lol!!

had a nice lie in today, was nearly 10 before we all got up!! the good thing about school hols is no routine ha, just watching cartoons now, normally id be rushing around making sure jakes having his dinner before nursery!

Hope everyone had a nice easter, i was making breakfast this morning and jake unwrapped a white choc cow for jasmine and gave it her 'cos she was hungry' lol she was sat munching it when i came back!!

xx

Definitely need to crack on with things today. Going to do some more cooking bits, sort out the mess in the kitchen bin area, clean the dining table (project in itself!) and start my exercising. I hope the weather's nice as it does look promising!

I did that last Thursday, it took forever! It's just the easiest place to put all that 'stuff' that doesn't have a proper home. Or that i can't be bothered putting away And it already needs doing again...

MFD, I tried that but don't think I've ever held out for more than a couple of minutes...maybe more like 5 might crack it but I'm also a wee bit worried about him associating the bottle with Bad Things if I do that? Not sure if babies can do that yet though...:o

I have no great desire to bottle feed regularly, I just want to know it's there for when we need to IYSWIM? Just so I can have an afternoon out or DH can take the occasional night feed or something...

Susan, at the worst you can put them away somewhere and maybe someday you'll find someone who does have pierced ears that you can give them to? Are we assuming that they're semi valuable?

I've not fed since October (I think!), and don't leak, (TMI) but if I squeeze I can still get milk out. Not a lot mind.

But I don't think my nips have been the same since I fed J - they've been sticky outy for 13 years iykwim!

:rotfl::rotfl:

I have bullets too!!!

*shrugs* I think it is similar to letting them cry for a few minutes when you put them down to sleep - although I am pap at that!! I don't think I would have let anyone else do it.

We established a routine of hubby doing an evening feed so I could express at about 10pm. It was good for hubby to join in the feeding and bond with B and gave me a rest/enabled me to build up quite a store of EBM.

But then I like to go out on occasion and I did days in work from when he was about 7 weeks so I really needed him to take a bottle.



Speaking of which - how was your night out on Friday 3? Did I miss your report back?

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:

Unfortunately I only have one relative I give presents to who has pierced ears and that is the one who gave them to me.

Thats typical isnt it..

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!

not a bad mummy, maybe a bit of a copy cat though [LINK REMOVED]:p
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!
