    Claire, not seen you about for a while, hope things are all ok with you? and thanks for reminding me Chris has the orthoptist 2mo and I'd totally forgotten! I've been trying to prep him for the patch wearing but he keeps saying "no I won't wear the patch" :mad: I think I may manage to get him to do it with my hand over his eye though, I just hope they let me take Ed through in the pram because they're a bit funny over prams at the health centre :confused:

    WM - did I mention P20 yesterday? http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/riemann-p20-once-a-day-sunfilter-spf20_1_6518.html
    tbh if my mum was like that I'd not let her look after the boys if I could help it :undecided

    Those talking about getting a parasol have you used one before? I hate them with a vengance so wholeheartedly DON'T recommend them :p
    I'd go for a canopy or shade a babe thing personally :D

    For those of you who use a dummy how often do you sterilise them and do you just use your bottle steriliser? Also once there done how do you store them?

    Well another good night so am now convinced it's the little pink sleeping bag that's magic as she didn't sleep as well in the bigger winnie the pooh one, will try the others tho, have about 5 in total!

    Poor sickly babies, all sounds like a mare, not looking forward to any of that :(

    really want some chocolate but not got any :( might have to start the lemon French fancies lol

    dummies should be sterilised everyday when they're little, I used to give chris a fresh one for bed and put the others in with the bottles, do you steam sterilise? I just left them in the steriliser or do you mean out n about? I used the little pod thing that TT ones come in when out n aboot :)

    Sorry for double post but if your looking for an alternate to a parasol then check out https://www.snoozeshade.com it's cheaper and more compact than the shade a babe also better quality.

    Sami - ATM am sterilising them in the morning in the bottle steriliser but it's big and takes 8 min! I leave them in there till needed but want something for my change bag.

    Aw BM how horrible :(

    I use P20 sunscreen, I'm a pasty redhead and need it, I tend to get freckly with it on but not burned.

    Cuddles for all the sickly littlies.

    Somnium I wash the dummies once or twice a week and wipe it whenever it hits the floor. But Molly's eight months old, only gets it for sleeping, and since she happily licks the carpet I'm not concerned about germs. When she was a very little one I boiled them all together as soon as all of them had been in contact with the floor.
