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

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...

Have just read back a couple of pages, so can write some more now!!

Well done to Benjamin and Kai for doing lots of walking. We have such clever babies

Emlou - I've just seen in your sig about your wedding date. Have I imagined it, or have you changed the date?

Elle - good luck for tomorrow . You will be fine and so will your gorgeous boy.

MDW - I'm glad Katie is better.

Hammy - that steroid cream is really good. My friend's little boy had bad ezcema when he was a baby (he's 6 now and although still gets it, it's nowhere near as bad as it was) and the steriod cream really helped. Did you see my post the other day about porridge oats in a muslin?

SS - hugs for you today. I'm afraid I have no good news on the zebra front . I checked the third store today and they were zebra-less too, so it looks like we're out of luck

PP - that's really good about Caitlyn at the CMs today. How's the Avon venture going? (sorry if you've said recently, I haven't been online much).

Speaking of feeding - we decided pizza hut was a better idea than the sausages! Oops. Just waiting for it to be delivered. Hope it's soon cos I'm starving.

Work treated us to pizza for lunch today. I was a pig and had four slices. DH cooked tuna pasta bake for dinner and I only managed three mouthfuls because I was still so full up from lunchtime.

Choppy so nice for C to wait for you to come home before crawling - clever girl!!!

I did wonder whether my mum was just being nice and hadn't told me so I could discover it for myself but when I phoned her to ask, she promised me that she hadn't kept it quiet . Apparently at the nursery Caitlin is going to, they keep quiet if your baby takes his/her first steps there.

Yay - Go Caitlin!! Although :eek: at heading downstairs!! Well done you for stopping mid-wee....are you just showing off your pelvic floor?? :rotfl::rotfl:

:rotfl: I hadn't thought about that. I'm pleased to report it held up . She literally had one hand over the edge of the step :eek:

nice one choppy and now the trouble begins :rotfl: x

We have a couple of stairgates at the ready...at the ready in the loft . DH is going away tomorrow for four nights on a stag do so they won't get done until he comes back (not sure that I'm capable of doing it, as they are the type that need to be drilled into the wall rather than the type that have the wheel thingy. I might have to invest in a lead to keep her under control until DH is back

I totally agree. Bedtime routine for us is jim-jams, sleeping bag on, final BF in the nursing chair then up to bed with the seahorse on. He's usually in bed by 7:15, sometimes by 7 if he is sleepy. We've done this since he was 4 weeks old, and he is usually very good at bedtime. Generally he just wakes up once in the night, at about 4-5am then goes back off after a feed till about 8. Having said all that last night was totally different, he wouldn't settle and for the first time ever slept the whole night in my bed!

Oh heck, I forgot to mention the PJs :doh: We do actually dress Caitlin after her bath, we don't just take her out of the bath and give her a feed!! :rotfl:We also put her in her sleeping bag before feeding her.

nearly
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've just curled my hair, I look like Shirley Temple I may be wearing a hat tomorrow :rotfl:

Ah, that's because you have a baby who is lovely and naps in the daytime...I was blessed(?!?) with a baby who doesn't like daytime sleeping (well, with me anyway...she had a 55 minute sleep for my mum this morning, which is almost unheard of here!). I'm lucky if I get two 20-30 minute sleeps out of Caitlin each day.
