Is the microphone supposed to do anything?

And the mothercare site says it has "2 modes, learn mode & music mode" - i don't understand? There's no switch to change modes is there?

the m'icrophone when pulled towards maber should sing 'sing it baby' or 'bop a do wah' dependign on what 'page' its at. the disco ball presses down/up and spins round. kian loves watching the walls when the sun catches it.
the microphone is also a teether.

any other q's just ask.
kian was in his at 3 1/2months

How does pay for KIT days work? Or does it depend on company? I know my materniy info says I can do up to 10 but doesn't mention pay, and manager seemed to think there was no extra pay but didn't investigate

I think it depends on your company. I get my usual rate of pay, and lose a day's worth of SMP.

Very interesting article- sounds very true for us too!


Big gentle hugs for all the poorly babies. It does seem to be doing the rounds in Scotland.

Had a nice day today meeting some mummy friends then picking up a few Primarni bargains. Got H some very cute shorts.

Did I mention that my gorgeous chunk in now 17 lb 13oz at 21 weeks. HV was very happy with him as he is following his line. She also said I should be very proud of myself for BFing for so long, which I am!

Gymfiend- I meant to respond to you too! Guy is so gorgeous . Sorry you are having a tough time with the mastitis. I would definitely go back to your GP for some stronger ABs and do please mention the bleeding as it could be a sign of an infection. Are you exclusively pumping? Will Guy not latch on at all? I only ask as I think your boobies do get better emptied by baby than a pump, but obviously if he can't latch then that is not an option for you. Please try to remember that you are doing a fantastic job, and if you do want to keep going with the BFing/expressing then this horrible phase will pass and it will seem like a breeze.

Caz, even if he is being sick, keep at it. he is getting minuscule amounts of water which does help. pain having him admited but he will get iv fluids which will help.

Yeah Beccles they did say I have to not munch for 12hours. Didn't mention going back again? Tsk.

It must just be fasting bloods then. If your blood sugar is too high on that one, they'll ask you back for the test with the syrup drink.

I've had it a few times. My fasting bloods are sometimes a bit high, but the tolerance test is usually fine. I'm sort of pre-pre-diabetes :rotfl:

Gym - Guy is a real cutie thanks for sharing your pic. Sorry to hear your having issues hope you get them sorted soon x

beenie - she looks like she's really lovin her L&G am so tempted to keep an eye out for one after all the recomendations on here but no idea where we would put it!

T is feeding loads today and after a fab morning seems to be really unsettled so hope she's ok am concerned that her spots might be something more!

OH currently making dinner thank god had a major meltdown earlier when he came home just don't think he understands me sometimes. He assumes that cos am home all day my life is easy and can't understand how i don't have time for certain things grr
