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.

you could do a little pot of milton just for them, I used to do Eds in the little pump box when I was trying him with them.
or I have 2 TT dummies in a little pod that you can use to sterilise them in the micro Do you have a microwave? do you want them? they have been used for like a total of 15 mins when I tried to get Ed to have them but with no luck.

Here too. DS1 has been ill all morning, viral I think (he has the diarrhoea with that unique pungent odour).

We have the very bad smelling wet trumps too.

I don't remember if DS1 was ill. When would that have been?

We had it at the second week of December, just after I was back at work - 18 weeks ago.

Can't remember if I said yesterday, my friends LO's had it again last week, and they'd had it before us in December.

The Dr. told her that viruses change all of the time, and this one is changing enough to confuse your immune system, in an average of 17/18 weeks.

V seems to have perked up a little bit. She's been sat on me since Sunday night most of the time. She's actually crawled off to play with her walker now.


If you had workmen in the house, would you go out?
I want to go for a walk, we're getting cabin fever and it's a gorgeous day. But I don't think they'll be finished til late afternoon. They're just finishing off the upstairs windows now, and have 4 bigger downstairs ones to do yet.

Thanks Sami, but that's okay, hair loss products don't work unless it's rogaine or something and then you have to keep using that. I still have hair, so don't quite need a wig yet, I do have some clip in extensions though. It's just bulk my hair needs, that's all. Maybe I'll just be deficiant in Zinc, or maybe my bulimia is making my hair fall out. I don't know.

Som, I have a special holder thingy that I used once or twice (bought it to get free postage on something else) the handy loop thing broke, but the compartment is still good. PM me your address and fairies can drop it by.

Yeah, think DS1 was ill in December.

ETA, this Som.
