    be careful using micowave or electric steralisers for soothers as the plastic can melt.

    Maybe i need a book or two...

    Been doing this whole parenting thing on guess-work and help from people on here so far!

    I don't think that books know everything, of course not, but I'm a reader/researcher at heart so I like to read loads of different theories/perspectives/strategies and then take bits of each one that I like and apply it...if that makes sense. But that's my personality. I think that reading books written by proper professionals can make me see/think of things I wouldn't have normally. They aren't the answer to everything and some people hate them, so to each their own :D.

    P.S. I was about to say I noticed Susan missing but then remembered they were going to the ILs...wonder when she gets back?

    have you had some melt?

    we did everything of Chris's in the micro the only thing that melted was the nurofen syringe that probably says don't microwave :rotfl::o

    Som - What does T wear when you have her in a Sleeping Bag and do you put any sheets on her as well and what tog is the SB and what temp is the room, sorry for all the questions lol[\quote]

    kindof - sleeping bag is 2.5 tog and she has a vest and sleepsuit under it but no sheets or blankets. No idea on the temp as we open the window when we go up and the room cools down. But am sure this particular sleeping bag works best cos it's quite dinky on her, the others we have are alot longer.
