    ooo jillie all set for tomorrow? x


    nearly :D
    kian's bag is packed. just need to pop the bottles in, and maybe some food for him depending on what time he wakes. i'm hoping if he sees every other baby eating he might feel inspired lol!! he's getting better though. his fave outfit is drying on the rad so it will be ready for the morning. just need to pack some bibs... his constant blowing bubbles/blowing raspberries means a lot of wet bibs :)

    alarm is set so i can have a shower and 'do my hair' and if i have a spare minute maybe a bit of make up to look more like a 'yummy mummy' than 'slummy mummy' lol!!

    I have an avent pump, and they do these storage cups which the pump fits and I now express directly into.

    Think it's not so much exactly what you do for a bedtime routine or what order, just that you do the same every day so bubs knows it's bedtime.

    Get ye to a Booby Club so you can practice public feeding in a friendly environment.

    You soon get used to it.

    Yay - I am a chav :T:T

    csh - We use the Hipp Organic Goodnight Milk, Benjamin loves it - it is lovely and thick like a yoghurt drink. The C&G one is only slightly thicker than normal milk IMHO (and didn't seem to do anything for Benjamin's sleeping).....
    Just in case; I wasn't criticising the goodnight milk just find it funny really that it was totally frowned upon but then give it a few years and the HVs recommend it but in a slightly different form.
    I used the night milk for Chris from about 12mths (it only came out then) mostly because it came in a smaller box and wouldn't have moo milk, he was sleeping through by then so can't comment on its effectiveness
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.

    If you think masterchef is poncy, you should have just watched Heston Bloomingdale...

    Hubby loves him... I think most of it looks foul...

    And on the routine thing... An early routine wouldn't have worked for Caitlyn... She wasn't ready for bed earlier than 9pm until she was well over 6 months old... :)
    A very proud Mummy to 3 beautiful girls... I do pity my husband though, he's the one to suffer the hormones...
    Krystal is so smart and funny and wonderful I am struck dumb in awe in her presence.
